The structure and content of this year's Arctic Summer College emphasize
the diversity of disciplines and collaborative nature necessary to
understand and address the issues that will shape the future of the
Arctic. The sessions are divided into four thematic, two-week modules
during which leading scholars, researchers, and practitioners from
across the globe share insights and experiences from their current work
redefining the way the world works with and within the Arctic. In
addition, each module ends with a group presentation by this year's
Arctic Summer College fellows. More information about the presentations
and the selection of working groups will be available at the
introductory administrative session on Monday, July 2 at 18:00 CEST /
12:00 EDT / 8:00 AKDT.
8 Arctic Summer College sessions are hosted live online Wednesdays from
July 11 - August 29 at 18:00 CEST / 12:00 EDT / 8:00 AKDT. (The
introductory session takes place on Monday due to a US holiday.) A
closing session will be scheduled for the beginning of September.
The four thematic modules and their associated scheduled dates are as
follows:
* environmental sciences - July 11 and 18
* energy and resources - July 25 and August 1
* international governance - August 8 and 15
* social sciences - August 22 and 29
Applicants are asked to state their module preferences for the group
presentation on the application form. This year's participant fees are
tiered and based on a participant's ability to pay. The standard rate is
USD 300; the social rate is USD 200.
