Young

We have six different events under our Arctic Frontiers Young program where we invite young actors to the Arctic scene. These are: Arctic Frontiers PhD workshop with lectures about proposal writing as well as cultural events. The workshop is multidisciplinary and thus suitable for students from all scientific fields, Science for Schools which we arrange in collaboration with the Science Centre of Northern Norway and the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists. Here we invite all 10^th grade students in Tromsø to participate in a science project. Following lectures by scientists the students work on chosen project that is presented in a poster session during the conference; Science for Politics is an event aimed at increasing the knowledge about environmental, social and political aspects in the Arctic among young arctic politicians through a combination of lectures by senior politicians and scientists and working groups; Arctic Career Seminar is arranged in collaboration with UiT The Arctic University of Norway and introduces students to northern career opportunities.
