A group of enganged UiB students bring to Arctic Frontiers their approach to work with some of the most important issues of our time:
- Geopolitics
- Climate change and resource management
- People in extreme environments
The students will introduce the challenge they were given, the process of defining problems and find new solutions, based on existing knowledge. Then we will engage a panel of expert science-to-decision-makers communicators to explore their experiences, and what works and maybe what doesn’t.
