Arctic Research Foundation (ARF) is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to furthering scientific research, innovation, economic development, Indigenous self-determination and northern infrastructure in Canada’s Arctic. 

We partner with governments, universities and community organizations that require access to innovative infrastructure to conduct program initiatives in the Arctic. 

ARF operates a fleet of 5 research vessels that support both science research and community initiatives throughout northern and Arctic Canada. Our self-powered mobile science labs can enable research in even the most remote areas of the Arctic. They are powered by the latest green technology and can be moved across remote Arctic environments, either by land or by sea.
