UPCOMING Science Diploamcy Side Event at the Arctic Futures Symposium: 4 Dec 2024

Recent and ongoing global developments and geopolitical changes have made the Arctic a key region for science and diplomacy. Our Alliance partner the University of Bergen together with Arctic Frontiers ask: How can science diplomacy and ocean governance in and for the Arctic contribute to the green transition in a sustainable way?

This panel discussion is part of the Arctic Frontiers Abroad event “License to Operate: Sustainable Ocean Development and the Green Transition”, which is an official side event at the Arctic Futures Symposium in Brussels 2-4 December. There are three panels at the side event, which takes place Wednesday 4 December 09:00am-02:00pm (of which the final hour is a networking lunch).

The event is co-organised by Arctic Frontiers and the University of Bergen.
