To reaffirm the solidity of diplomatic relations between Italy and Norway, the SIOI and the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Italy, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and the High North Center for Business and Governance of the Nord University of Bodø, have decided to organize the third edition of the International Symposium: "Arctic Connections – Sustainable Development in the Arctic: how do we succeed?", that will take place in English and hybrid format on 26 and 27 October 2021. 

The event will be attended by institutional and academic personalities and international experts to stimulate a reflection on the importance of new energy technologies, business development in the Arctic, bi-multilateral cooperation for the application of the European Green Deal and economic and political factors that could influence the future scenarios of the Arctic Region.

Could the Arctic be a pioneer in the energy transition? This is the question that the Arctic States and Observers are called to answer through a debate focused on green energy, international cooperation, and the future of the Arctic Region. To answer this and other questions, we have with us here today Marianne Krey-Jacobsen, Counsellor to the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Rome, Bård Borch Michalsen, Vice-Rector at The Arctic University of Norway, and Trine Jonassen, News Editor of High North News, High North Center for Business and Governance.

Speakers: Niccolò Delporto, Giulia Secci
