We are happy to report, that the second Arctic Interdisciplinary Studies 2020, ARCTIS 2020, field course in Khanty-Mansiysk city and vicinity, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Region, West Siberia, Russia was successfully held in February 2020, co-organised by the UKPN and APECS Russia.

As per tradition, the course included various disciplines: Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Terrestrial, Marine (Hydrology) and Social & Humanitarian, which were covered via lectures, practical sessions and fieldwork, including a trip to the Mukhrino research station.

The course also benefited from a stakeholder meeting, trips to local museums and get together events. "The course was a success and everyone, including participants from the UK and Russia, lecturers and organizing committee enjoyed it", shared Saule Akhmetkaliyeva, Head of UK Arctic – Russia ECR group for UKPN.
