On behalf of the Belmont Forum, we invite you to a researcher matching webinar with the World Ocean Council on Friday, May 16th at 10am ET. Webex details, including a link to international dialing options, are below.

The World Ocean Council brings together a diverse ocean business community to engage in science targeted towards responsible stewardship of shipping, oil and gas, fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, and renewable energy, among others. It also represents a coalition of industry involved in maritime law and insurance for effective ocean policy and planning.

The World Ocean Council is a partner in the Belmont Forum Call for Arctic Observing and Research for Sustainability (http://igfagcr.org/cra-2014-arctic-observing-and-research-sustainability). The call requires natural scientists, social scientists, and end users on each proposal and strongly encourages private sector participation, both as partners and as partial co-funding sources. Paul Holthus, CEO of the World Ocean Council, and a panelist of industry experts, will be hosting a webinar to help connect academics and end users with the range of ocean industry partners that the World Ocean Council represents.

The webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArcticHub (http://www.arctichub.net) after the event. Coming soon to the ArcticHub will be a “want ads” functionality, allowing interested proposers and collaborators to solicit partners. Additional researcher matching to can be sought through the Belmont Forum website: https://www.igfagcr.org/user/register.

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to your participation this Friday, May 16th.
