Francesca Stoppani is the new intern at the UArctic International Secretariat based at the University of Lapland in Rovaniemi, Finland. She will be a part of the office for ten months ending her internship in June 2022.


It has now been twenty years since UArctic was officially launched. Over the course of that time, UArctic has grown from a handful of institutions to a vast circumpolar network of over 200 members including universities, research centres and indigenous peoples’ organizations.

We welcome proposals for sessions to be held during the UArctic Congress hosted by Lomonosov Moscow State University on October 4 – 7, 2022, Moscow, Russia. Sessions can be comprised of oral and/or poster presentations, as well as panel or round table discussions. The deadline for session proposals is November 15, 2021.

The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) is pleased to release the August 2021 issue of Witness Community Highlights—an online publication that highlights Arctic research efforts and other timely items of interest to their readers.
