The overarching purpose of the ADC is to promote and facilitate international collaboration towards the goal of free, ethically open, sustained and timely access to Arctic data through useful, usable, and interoperable systems. This includes facilitate the adoption, implementation and development (where necessary) of standards that will enable free, open and timely access to data. This will facilitate interoperability of data and systems as needed to support the needs of researchers, Arctic residents, decision makers and others. More content will be added to this section over the coming months.
