The Læra Institute holds regular symposia for students studying the Circumpolar world at UArctic member institutions.  We especially aim to serve UArctic undergraduate students, who tend to lack the same opportunities as graduate students have to take part in academic gatherings.  Our symposia give them the opportunity to share their experiences of learning about the Circumpolar World, and to offer feedback on Circumpolar Studies programmes and teaching to faculty.  They also offer students the chance to showcase their own research, and to take part in interactive experiential learning events such as Model Arctic Council.

Whilst the Covid-19 pandemic delayed our plans, we are now pleased to launch our first student symposium (follow link for further information and to register):

• 20, 22 & 24 November 2023 — Being Circumpolar (online)

The Læra Institute has also taken part in student symposia sponsored by other Circumpolar institutions, including:

• 28 September 2021 — Northern Forum Student Symposium on Circumpolar Research (online)
