Focus on Thematic Networks
Thematic Networks are at the forefront of UArctic's activties, focussing collaboration in key areas among our partners and producing high quality contributions to scientific research, public outreach, and educational development. The hosts of the recent Thematic Networks meeting, the University of Akureyri, have produced a series of short video reports about UArctic's Thematic Networks in collaboration with Arctic Portal.
One aspect of UArctic is it´s Thematic Networks. That increases
cooperation between the member institutions on specific topics. Among
the topics are Arctic Coastal and Marine Issues, Arctic Medicine, Energy
in New Time, Global Change, Northern Agriculture, Northern Tourism and
others.
Each network has a leader and these leaders meet regularly to discuss what they have done, what they want to do and to get ideas and thoughts from their collegues.
The last meeting was in AKureyri, Iceland, late in January of 2012. Arctic Portal was there and captured videos of the meetings. Here are interviews with various people around the meeting.
