The network was established in 2012 as a merger of two international circumpolar health organizations: the International Network for Circumpolar Health Research (INCHR) and the International Association of Circumpolar Health Publishers (IACHP).
Purpose
The network was established with the aim of promoting collaboration among researchers, supporting the exchange, communication, and dissemination of findings and data within Arctic health research, as well as fostering education and the development of early-career researchers in the field of Arctic health.
Today, the network’s primary objective is the publication of the journal . The journal is open access, and subscriptions are available.
