Project details

What we need
  • Up to 3 short animations to be used in further marketing content (short videos, gifs, website content, etc)
  • Guidelines on how to use the animations in accordance with other content
Additional details

We have started a new, international network of researchers, knowledge holders, students, and educators working on Arctic migrations of species, peoples, economies, and cultures. To highlight network member's research and provide educational materials on Arctic migrations, we want to create 90-second videos explaining scientific publications that can be easily understood by a general public on (1) demographic changes; (2) coastal erosion; and (3) archaeology sites impacted by climate change.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a summary and key points of each scientific paper, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated staff member to help and narrate the animation, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,842 , allowing us to offer early career and traditional knowledge holder travel stipends to future workshops

There is a documented need to bring the Arctic's disparate research communities together, and in particular to "encourage more research on how species will move and interact in cold environments, the consequences for biodiversity, and animal and human health and wellbeing," so that cooperation can "facilitate rapid response, and maximize the use of limited research and management resources." Our Research Coordination Network meets that need by establishing a collaborative space to work together

Our mission

TAI envisions a world in which the Arctic’s diverse and complex sources of insecurity are identified, understood, and innovatively resolved. We hope to achieve this by informing Arctic policy across the circumpolar region through objective, multidisciplinary, and innovative social science research. We do this through publishing high-quality, open access research on a range of issues relating to security in the High North; providing innovative policy analysis and recommendations to policymakers a

What we do

The Arctic Institute is an independent international institute dedicated to research of and engagement in the many dimensions of Arctic insecurity. Established in 2011, TAI provides data, analysis, and recommendations to policymakers, researchers, media, and the interested public. Based in Washington, DC, TAI’s network of research associates extends across North America, Scandinavia, and the European Union.
