Invitation
The Canadian Polar Data Consortium, (formerly Canadian Consortium for Arctic Data Interoperability (CCADI)) in cooperation with its partners, is pleased to announce the sixth Canadian Polar Data Workshop and to invite your support for furthering Canada’s position as a global leader in sharing polar research data.
Since 2015, the Canadian Polar Data Workshop has been a forum for supporting and advancing polar data initiatives in Canada. Structured to reach specific outcomes, these workshops have helped to develop Canada’s national polar data strategies and to further national objectives in the areas of data discovery, federated search, data interoperability, knowledge transfer, and Indigenous data sovereignty. The first four workshops resulted in significant progress toward Canada’s leadership in global polar data initiatives, notably the summary reports, contributions to the Arctic Observing Summit, and the realization of the CCADI partnership.
The Canadian Polar Data Workshop VI will be held June 8–12, 2026, at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario. The workshop will include plenary talks and presentations followed by working meetings and hackathons.
Your sponsorship of this event is an opportunity to further — or begin — your involvement in the future of polar data in Canada through contributing to the forum, supporting the inclusion of students and Indigenous peoples, building relationships with other members of the polar data community, and advancing recognition of your organization in this field.
