Discover and interact with innovative research by ACEP and other research programs on the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Troth Yeddha’ campus at the annual Arctic Research Open House Thursday, May 14. Access to events and parking along Koyukuk Drive will be free.

From Fairbanks roots, UAF research branches across science, engineering and creativity, sprouting new solutions for Alaska and the Arctic. Visit ACEP’s tent on the lawn in front of the O’Neill building and test your power with the bicycle generator. Meet the ACEP researchers behind the work and learn how their research unfolds in our community.

The open house interactive activities bring you face-to-face with research that affects Alaskans and others across the globe.

To celebrate Fairbanks families and the end of the school year, the UAF Vice Chancellor for Research will host a free ice cream social as one of the stops along the open house. All ages are welcome, but minors must be accompanied by an adult.

When: 4-7 p.m. Thursday, May 14
Where: West Ridge on UAF’s Troth Yeddha’ campus
