About the Calotte Academy

The Calotte Academy is an annual, international travelling symposium for a dialogue among members of the research community and (post)graduate students, and a wide range of other experts and northern stakeholders, such as policy-makers, community leaders and civil servants.

The Calotte Academy is structured so that there will be includes both academic and public sessions with expert presentations, and presentations by (post)graduate students in each location. This is implemented so that an international group of researchers, other experts and (post)graduate students from Europe, North America and Russia travel together in the sites of the Academy which are located in North Finland, North Norway and the Murmansk Region in Russia. For more detailed information see for example, the Final Report of the Calotte Academy 2010.

In the 2011 Academy this will be implemented so that an international group of researchers, other experts and doctoral students from Europe, North America and Russia have their presentations in sessions in the three sites of the Academy in Finland, Norway and Russia.
