Student Conference on Northern Studies

L’équipe du Campus de Labrador de la Memorial University: Caylee Dzurka, Ashley Cameron, and David Finch.

The ACUNS Student Conference on Northern Studies was established in 1986 to increase awareness of northern research and to provide the opportunity for emerging northern scholars to gather and share their research and their experiences. The triennial event featured a thematic focus, and was largely organized by a committee of graduate students from one of our member institutions. Organizing the ACUNS Student Conference provides students with an invaluable opportunity to develop the skills necessary to carry them through their academic careers, to forge links with government, private sector and community stakeholders, and make new national and international connections that ultimately lead to new partnerships for knowledge creation, both within academe and beyond.

In 2022, ACUNS partnered with the Labrador Campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland and the ArcticNet Students Association. The Early-Career Northern Researchers Conference took place ahead of the ArcticNet Annual Scientific Meeting in December. Way to go, Team Labrador: Ashley Cameron, David Finch and Caylee Dzurka!
