The 3^rd Arctic Science Ministerial (ASM3) webinar series is designed to increase transparency of the Arctic Science Ministerial science process and to provide additional opportunities for scientists, Indigenous Peoples and Arctic research stakeholders to further engage with the science and proposed actions leading up to the Third Arctic Science Ministerial in Tokyo, Japan in May 2021. The webinar series is a joint cooperation between the ASM3 Organizers in Iceland and Japan and the European Polar Board.

The final webinar in the series will be held on Wednesday 9^th June, 13: 00-14: 00 UTC. This webinar will look back at the ASM3 science process in connection to the final outcomes. We will have a review of the Ministerial highlights from Tokyo. This webinar is an opportunity for all those interested and engaged with the ASM to get a full picture of the outcomes, actions, and tools provided as we look a head to ASM4.

For more information, including draft agenda and recordings of earlier webinars in the series.

We are pleased to announce that Polar Data Forum IV will be co-hosted online by the Royal Belgian institute of Natural Sciences and the European Polar Board (EPB) and the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) in The Hague (NL) from September 20^th to 24^th, 2021. This event will be co-organized with the Second Southern Ocean Regional Workshop for the UN Ocean Decade and Hackathon and focus on the polar oceans.

Abstracts for oral presentation and posters will be accepted on a wide variety of data, information and knowledge related issues. Abstracts will be reviewed primarily for their relevance or connection to the polar regions and polar activities. While talks or posters on general topics will be considered, priority will be given to abstracts focused on experiences, Indigenous Knowledge research, operations, projects, programs or topics based in or are about the polar regions. Of particular interest are talks that report on how broader, regional, disciplinary or global standards, protocols and methodologies are, or could be applied, to the polar domain (e.g. how does your polar work link to broader efforts to make data FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). In keeping with past community events, we see the polar data system as part of the broader global system.

TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT PLEASE GO TO: https://polar-data-forum.org/conference/abstracts/

Abstracts are invited for the following proposed conference sessions

• Knowledge mobilization and decision making
• Co-production of data, information and knowledge
• FAIR data for the polar regions
• Vocabularies and semantic interoperability
