The first annual Arctic Frontiers conference will take place in Tromso,
Norway, on 21-26 January 2007 and will be hosted by the University of
Tromso. This conference will provide an up-to-date view of the state of
the arctic environment and developing economic and political trends at
the beginning of the International Polar Year period in 2007.

During part one of the conference, invited keynote speakers will provide
a review of the current status of arctic science; introduce current
social, economic, and political issues; and identify challenges facing
these disciplines in the coming years.

Part two will be a scientific conference focusing on arctic marine
ecosystems and the potential impacts of environmental change on their
structure and functions. Findings will be presented from three
international research programmes focused on the European Arctic. These
talks will be supplemented by invited and submitted presentations that
will extend these findings across the pan-arctic region.
