Summer course in Arctic studies
The International Summer School at the University of Oslo Norway has launched a new interdisciplinary course in Arctic Studies.
The course combines Natural Sciences, Law and Social Sciences to explore the environmental, legal, and political changes in the Arctic region. Participants will learn about current issues involving the Arctic's changing environment and how this impacts the legal framework provided by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The course also explores how this may generate new opportunities, risks, and governance challenges for Arctic states, companies and non-Arctic stakeholders.
Scholarships Available:
A limited number of participants will be eligible for financial support to attend this six week course from 21 June - 1 August 2014.
Apply now!
Request an application by 10 March 2014 to see if you qualify for financial support.
