It aims to spread knowledge on sustainable Arctic development and ocean management and promote understanding of the Arctic indigenous peoples.
The Korea Maritime Institute serves as a Secretariat of the Academy. The program of the Korea Arctic Academy usually consists of lectures on Arctic issues (4 or 5 days) given by international or Korean experts and field trips (3 or 4 days) to Arctic related organizations, research institutions, and industrial sites in Korea.
Due to the extraordinary situation caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and after careful consultation with KMI and UArctic, we have made the regretful decision to call off the physical gathering of the Korea Arctic Academy in Busan and replace it by an online course. The 8th Korea Arctic Academy will begin on August 17 and end on August 30.
Please submit a CV (should include email address, study program, institution) and a motivation letter (approx. 600 words/1 page) in one file to isabelle.guissard@uit.no by 10 July 2022.
