Overview

Arctic Frontiers is a catalyst for decision-making and network building by mobilizing key voices in science, policy, business, and local Arctic communities to rapidly turn knowledge into action. This year’s theme, Turn of the Tide, underscores the ebb and flow of the world and the time for change, inviting participants to reflect on the rhythms of global change and their implications for the pan-Arctic region.

The Arctic Frontiers Administration has, since 2007, organized the annual Arctic Frontiers conference in Tromsø, which gathers scientists, businesses, policymakers and representatives of local and indigenous peoples for holistic discussions about the future of the Arctic region. Additionally, the organization hosts year-round activities, including Arctic Frontiers Abroad events, Arctic Frontiers Open events for the public and Arctic Frontiers Young events for the future generation of Arctic leaders between 5-35 years old.
