The Fourth Ministerial Meeting
on the Development of Science in the Arctic
April 14 – 15, 2023, St. Petersburg
Russian Federation
We invite you to the Fourth Ministerial Meeting on the Development of Science in the Arctic, which will be organized jointly by Russia and France.
Russia, as the coordinator of scientific activities within the ASM, strives for continuity and strengthening of scientific cooperation between permanent participants, Arctic and non-Arctic states, scientific and educational communities. We continue to advocate the preservation of the Arctic region as a territory of peace and constructive cooperation and call for active cooperation in finding answers to global challenges that directly concern each of us.
In this context, the content and format of ASM4 are determined based on the continuity of ASM1, ASM2, ASM3 and the growing relevance of scientific research in the Arctic, including those related to pronounced changes in the Arctic climate. ASM4 will provide an accessible, open and equally cordial dialogue and interaction with the population and local communities of the Arctic and the international scientific community.
The upcoming Ministerial meeting is dedicated to finding ways of sustainable economic development of the Arctic, solving the most pressing problems through international scientific cooperation.
