The annual Arctic Futures Symposium and its growing number of side events, including the highly popular Arctic Shorts film evening, is happening this week.
Arctic Shorts back for 5th edition
Thanks to the financial support of the Government of Canada and the assistance of the Arctic Futures Symposium partners, the Arctic Shorts film evening will return for its 5th edition the evening of Monday, November 27th at BOZAR Centre for fine Arts in the centre of Brussels.
This year’s programme will feature nine shorts films this year made by filmmakers hailing from different parts of the Arctic. The evening will start with introductory speeches given by Gizem Eras (Agriculture, Fisheries and Environment Counsellor, Mission of Canada to the EU) and Clara Ganslandt (EU Special Envoy for Arctic Matters).
A few seats are still left. Tickets are free, but your seat must be reserved via the BOZAR website. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the programme starts at 7:30 pm.
For more information please consult the events page on the Arctic Futures Symposium website.
Arctic Futures Symposium draws much interest for 14th edition
Registrations have now closed for the 14th edition of the Arctic Futures Symposium, which will take place this year at Town Hall Europe near the European Parliament in Brussels’ EU Quarter. It will feature more than 40 expert speakers from all across the Arctic and the EU Institutions, discussing topics such as Arctic cooperation in the current geopolitical climate, security, creating healthy Arctic communities, youth initiatives, critical raw materials, the Green transition, and energy solutions.
More than 150 Arctic stakeholders including policymakers from the local to national and EU Level, indigenous leaders, entrepreneurs, representatives from industry, academics, and experts are expected to attend.
Interest in the Arctic remains high, and this is reflected in the number of registrations for the conference and its side events.
In addition to Arctic Shorts, the symposium will also feature an “Arctic Evening” cocktail and networking event hosted by the Mission of Norway to the EU on November 28th, and a cocktail and presentation of the results of the EU-financed JUSTNORTH Horizon project hosted by the Embassy of Monaco to Belgium and the EU on November 29th.
Due to high interest, registrations for this year’s symposium have now closed. For those who have not registered, it is still possible to watch the entire symposium online on the IPF YouTube Channel.
More information, including the programme, a full list of speakers, and communication materials can be found on the Arctic Futures Symposium website.
