Each year, undergraduate and graduate students from Carleton University and the University of Ottawa participate in high-quality northern research studies, both in natural and social sciences. In recent years, these studies have benefited from considerable financial and logistical support through International Polar Year programs, the Polar Continental Shelf Program, and the Northern Scientific Training Program. As a platform to showcase our excellence and common interests in northern research, Carleton University and the University of Ottawa are pleased to host the Ottawa-Carleton Student Northern Research Symposium (OCSNRS).
