Le programme de science nordiques et technologie
Program Purpose
This Program aims to lead the mobilization of polar science and technology into action. CHARS will analyse and disseminate polar knowledge from its Science and Technology Program, as well as that from current federal, territorial and other stakeholders, and investments to inform management, programming and policies; promote Artic science and technology nationally and internationally; and build capacity through training, outreach, and learning opportunities. This will ensure polar knowledge is relevant to stakeholders and builds a science culture in Canada.
Program Purpose (French)
Le programme vise à établir une forte présence en recherche dans l’Arctique canadien par l’entremise de POLAIRE. Le programme permet de créer une base de connaissances pour appuyer des solutions efficaces aux problèmes liés à l’Arctique, aux politiques sur le Nord et au développement de la recherche, et fait progresser le Canada dans son rôle de nation arctique de premier plan.
