Description (French)
Notre objectif est de renforcer les capacités des Nunavummiuts à participer à des recherches sur le Nord et à diriger de telles recherches dans les domaines de la santé, du bien-être, des changements climatiques et de l’environnement, des sciences sociales, et du savoir et de la philosophie de recherche inuites. Trois centres de recherche travailleront en partenariat avec l’Institut de recherche du Nunavut et le Collège de l’Arctique du Nunavut pour offrir une série de cours d’été de formation à la recherche et des instituts de recherche en format réduit à l’hiver, destinés aux jeunes, aux étudiants du secondaire et du postsecondaire et aux diplômés du Nunavut, ainsi qu’aux membres de la collectivité qui souhaitent y participer. Des activités de plusieurs jours seront organisées à Iqaluit, à Arviat et à Clyde River, et se concentreront sur les compétences de base en recherche sur le Nord.

Program Name (French)
Programme d’application des connaissances polaires
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)
Ce programme vise à guider la mise en pratique des sciences et de la technologie polaires. POLAIRE analysera et diffusera le savoir polaire obtenu par l’entremise de son programme de sciences et de technologie ainsi que des intervenants fédéraux, territoriaux et autres et elle réalisera des investissements afin d’orienter la gestion, les programmes et les politiques; elle fera la promotion des sciences et de la technologie arctiques à l’échelle nationale et internationale; et elle renforcera les capacités grâce à des possibilités de formation, de diffusion et d’apprentissage. Ainsi, l’accent sera mis sur le savoir polaire qui est utile aux intervenants et aux collectivités autochtones, et qui développe une culture scientifique au Canada qui intègre le savoir local et autochtone.
