Since 2008 WAISC has brought together scientists, rural Ӱpro leaders and community members, educators, and students to discuss science, research and issues relevant to western Ӱpro. The 2013 conference will highlight regional scientific efforts and community-based projects, including work based in traditional knowledge and local expertise.

Organizers welcome submissions drawn from all disciplines that use a scientific approach to address questions and issues of concern to western Ӱpro communities.
