The Arctic’s unique geographic and political characteristics pose
questions for the international community, indigenous peoples,
and economic interests not easily answered through traditional
concepts. To that end, the Arctic Summer College has been
engaging leading professionals, students, scholars, and policy
makers from across the globe to exchange ideas and support
further investigation into the Arctic. A joint venture between
Ecologic Institute US and Ecologic Institute Berlin (Germany),
the College participates at the annual Arctic Circle Assembly in
Reykjavik, Iceland, and continues to be at the forefront of
international collaboration in this critical area of economic,
political, environmental, and humanitarian development.
