Interested in joining a Thematic Network?
The Thematic Networks are a framework for development of UArctic education and research to develop solutions to meet the challenges in the Arctic. Alongside these, the UArctic Institutes are self-governing units devoted to research, monitoring and education throughout the Arctic.
If your work aligns with an existing Thematic Network, feel free to reach out directly using the contact listed: Thematic Networks and Institutes. When you get in touch, briefly introduce your research, interests, and how you could contribute. Thematic Networks are independently run and decide whether to accept new members, so a collaborative and proactive approach is encouraged.
