The Rovaniemi Arctic Spirit Conference will take place from May 5–7, 2025, and we are now accepting proposals for sessions to be included in the diverse program.

This year’s conference theme is “Elements of Arctic Security,”
which explores security in the Arctic from multiple perspectives. Security in the
Arctic encompasses issues related to human, environmental, and climate security, as
well as traditional state security. Recent geopolitical shifts only emphasize the
need for a holistic understanding of these interconnected dimensions in the Arctic
region.

The first day of the conference at the Korundi
House of Culture will feature keynote speeches and panel discussions. On the second
day, at the Arktikum House, there will be a range of scientific and thematic
sessions. Session proposals may include oral presentations and lectures, panel
discussions, or round table discussions, and they may address various aspects of
Arctic security. Sessions are expected to be 90 minutes long, with time allocated
for questions and audience engagement. The primary language of the Rovaniemi Arctic
Spirit Conference is English.

Session proposals are
welcome until January 24, 2025.

Please see the full call
for sessions and detailed guidelines in this document.
