Description
Summary:As the organization managing the scientific mandate of the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen, Amundsen Science aims to create a safe and respectful research environment for every expedition participant aboard the vessel and to improve our relations with stake- and rightsholders of the Canadian North. Our current focus is on two primary equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) objectives specific to Arctic oceanographic expeditions: (1) to make the confined and remote workplace of the ship a mentally, emotionally, and physically secure environment, and (2) to integrate Indigenous-led research and to bring awareness of local (Inuit) culture during the expeditions.
