IASC, an interdisciplinary committee of the International Council for Science, is a nongovernmental scientific organization established to encourage international cooperation in arctic science. IASC encourages and facilitates basic and applied multi-disciplinary research connected with the circumpolar Arctic, and provides scientific advice on arctic issues.
