It was initiated by the IASC in 1999 and has evolved into the most important annual gathering of the Arctic research organization.

The Business and Community Meetings includes annual meetings of the participating organizations:

In addition, other organizations and projects regularly hold workshops and project meetings at ASSW.

In odd number years, the ASSW also includes a Science Symposium. These symposia create a platform for exchanging knowledge, cross fertilization and collaboration and attract scientists, students, policy makers and other professionals from all over the world.

In even number years the ASSW includes the Arctic Observing Summit (AOS), a high-level, biennial summit that aims to provide community-driven, science-based guidance for the design, implementation, coordination and long-term operation of Arctic observing systems.
