Researchers, educators, and Arctic stakeholders convened in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, on May 13–14 for the “Arctic Science in Action” workshop, cohosted by the University of the Faroe Islands’ Research & Enterprise Unit and AAU Arctic at Aalborg University. Held at Fróðskaparsetur Føroya, the event focused on promoting new modes of collaborative Arctic research and education, drawing on local experience to inform regional and international strategies.
Over two days of presentations, breakout sessions, and networking, participants explored topics including:
The green transition, Arctic infrastructure, sustainable construction, and climate adaptation
Interdisciplinary logistics, data sharing, and research governance
A standout feature was the “One Arctic Health” session, led by Dr. Gert Mulvad (University of Greenland) and Christina Viskum Larsen (Centre for Public Health in Greenland/University of Southern Denmark), which included a presentation by the ArcSolution team highlighting how health, environment, and social factors intersect in Arctic research.
The “Arctic Science in Action” workshop exemplified a growing trend toward interdisciplinary, community-informed Arctic research, grounded in capacity building and innovative logistics.
