Innovation and Knowledge Exchange 2, Fifth joint Arctic SAR TTX and Workshop, Reykjavik, Iceland
UPDATE!
Due to COVID-19, the event has been postponed until further notice. We will keep you updated via the website or the social media should the situation change. Thank you for understanding!
Since it was first organized in 2016, the Joint Arctic SAR Workshop and TTX has established itself as the most important forum for exchange and joint training for SAR entities and the Arctic expedition cruise industry. The event allows participants to engage in frank discussions and gain valuable insight into the perspective and operational mode of the entities they will deal with in the event of an emergency. This joint SAR event gathers expedition cruise operators, Arctic search and rescue (SAR) responders and other relevant stakeholders for a workshop and tabletop exercise (TTX) aimed at enhancing dialogue and cooperation between the cruise industry and the SAR sector in the Arctic. The event also features presentations from practitioners and researchers with updates on the latest developments in maritime preparedness, policy, technology and SAR cooperation.
Participation is open for members of AECO, Arctic SAR entities, ARCSAR partners and relevant authorities. Capacity is limited and early registration is recommended. Other interested can send an email to aeco@aeco.no.

Happy New Year from the ARCSAR team. National Geographic has recently published this incredible story of the two polar explorers, traversing the Arctic ice cap in 2019. JRCC NN was following the expedition with close communication with the team and the Lance vessel. Due to global warming and changes in the sea ice, this same expedition will most likely never be repeated.![]()

Two of the greatest living polar explorers went to investigate the extent of the melting Arctic for themselves. It almost killed them.
The ARCSAR Network and the coordinator JRCC Norway are wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
For the fifth year in a row, the Arctic expedition cruise industry, search and rescue sector and academia gathered for a joint tabletop exercise. This year, the exercise was organized as a fully virtual event, gathering nearly 130 participants from across the world. The event is organized by AECO - Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators, Landhelgisgæsla Íslands/Icelandic Coast Guard and the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Northern Norway (JRCC NN) under the umbrella of ARCSAR, with funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.![]()
