摘要：In April 2012, the circumpolar research community gathered in Montre´al, Canada, to discuss their most recent research findings related to the International Polar Year (IPY). The conference was titled From Knowledge to Action, and its organisation and structure emphasised the importance of transmission of new knowledge generated by IPY projects to a variety of knowledge users, ranging from community members to national and international policy makers. The issue of knowledge exchange, mobilisation, or translation is critical to Arctic health and has received relatively little attention in the past but is becoming increasingly important for a number of reasons. It raises interesting and important questions for the research, funding and policy communities that are discussed using several case examples in this supplement.(Published: 10 September 2012)Citation: Int J Circumpolar Health 2012, 71: 19265 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/ijch.v71i0.19265
