The Arctic Conference ‘High North Dialogue’ will Go Ahead as Planned | |
The international Arctic conference High North Dialogue will take place as planned in Bodø, Norway on 6-7 April, even though the Russian invasion of Ukraine leads to changes when it comes to Russian participants. “Institutional representatives from authorities, companies and education institutions in Russia may no longer be included in the program. The Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research is clear that cooperation with Russia in the area of education and research is to be almost exclusively on researcher-to-researcher level. We will, of course, adhere to this. However, we would have loved to include Russian perspectives on the Arctic”, says Director of the High North Center Frode Mellemvik. | |
