ArcticNet is funded by the Government

of

Canada through the Networks of Centres

of Excellence program, a joint initiative of the

Natural Sciences and Engineering Research

Council, the Canadian Institutes of Health

Research, the Social Sciences and Humanities

Research Council and Industry Canada.

The Networks of Centres of Excellence

are unique partnerships among universities, industry, government and not-for-profit organizations aimed at turning Canadian research and entrepreneurial talent into economic and social benefits for all Canadians.

An integral part of the federal government's

Innovation Strategy, these nation-wide,

multidisciplinary and multisectorial research partnerships connect excellent research with industrial know-how and strategic investment.

The ArcticNet Network of Centres

of Excellence was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation under the name "ArcticNet Inc." in December 2003. 4 Together in the study of a changing Canadian Arctic Travailler ensemble à l'étude de l'Arctique canadien de demain 5 6

INTRODUCTION

'FROM CRISIS TO OPPORTUNITY'

AND THE IMPACT OF ARCTICNET

In 2000, the seminal report of the NSERC/SSHRC Task Force on Northern

Research (Hutchinson et al.,

2000) aptly captured the abysmal

state of academic Arctic sciences in Canada. Among many strategic recommendations, the report demanded the creation of a Network of

Centres

of Excellence focusing on the Arctic with greater access to

Canadian Coast

Guard icebreakers for research. In

2003-2004, by implementing most of the

Report's recommendations, the

ArcticNet

NCE, supported by its main

core infrastructure the scientific icebreaker CCGS Amundsen, jump-started a spectacular No other initiative has had a larger impact in transforming modern Canadian

Arctic research (Hik,

towards answering the needs of stakeholders and the formulation of policy.
