Forum of Arctic Research Operators

Forum of Arctic Research Operators (FARO) is a country membership organization that promotes dialogue on logistics and operational support for scientific research in the Arctic.

FARO facilitates information exchange, establishment of cooperation and development of new ideas among national operators of ships, stations and aircrafts in the Arctic. FARO enables countries to optimize logistics and operational support for scientific research in the Arctic.

FARO is operated by an Executive Committee (ExCom) drawn from its membership with an overall Chair of the organisation. A FARO secretariat supports the organisation.

• Any country engaged in Arctic research is encouraged to join FARO and participate in its activities.
