The International Science Initiative in the Russian Arctic, ISIRA, is a Russian and international cooperative initiative to assist Russian Arctic science and sustainable development in the Russian Arctic by:

• initiating planning of multinational research programmes that address specific key problems in the Russian Arctic
• providing a forum for linking together on-going or planned bilateral projects to achieve added value and avoid duplication
• facilitating improved scientific access to the Russian Arctic
• advising on funding and organising implementation of projects agreed upon.

ISIRA is organised as an international group advising the IASC Executive Committee. The IASC Executive Secretary serves as secretary to ISIRA.
