Nord-Norge ut i Europa: Lunsjwebinar om Erasmus+

This breakout session is in Norwegian only.  Hvordan kan Nord-Norge utnytte mulighetene i Erasmus+? Hva er nytt i det nye programmet for perioden 2021-2027? og hvilke erfaringer har nordnorske aktører fra å utnytte mulighetene? Dette er noe av det vi vil snakke om under webinaret om Erasmus+ under High North Dialogue.

Vi ønsker å invitere dere til å ta lunsjen 20. april sammen med oss om den nye programperioden i Erasmus+. Nord-Norge har mange muligheter for internasjonalisering i Erasmus+, men for å lykkes må man starte allerede nå. De første utlysningene kom ut rett før påske, og har frist allerede nå i vår.

Hvordan kan vi utnytte potensialet bedre? Webinaret vil presentere den nye programperioden i Erasmus+, og hvilke muligheter som finnes både på for videregående utdanning og universitetene, men også for ansatte. Du vil få høre nordnorske erfaringer med Erasmus+, og få muligheten til å stille spørsmål til ekspertene.

3 Years of AlaskaNor: Arctic Maritime Transportation in a post-Covid-19 world

Venue: Online
Time: 16:30-17:30 CEST (UTC +2)
Type of event: Open (sign in via conference registration)
Chair: Andreas Raspotnik
Website: www.alaskanor.com
Alaska and North Norway share similar characteristics, particularly regarding the regions’ economic dependence on maritime industries and their potential for blue economy development. However, no knowledge has been shared or even attained yet concerning the opportunities for both regions to mutually tackle the manifold challenges of regionally developing their blue economy. Over the past three years, the AlaskaNor project has aimed to addresses this knowledge gap.

In this breakout session we will discuss AlaskaNor’s thoughts on Arctic maritime transportation in a post-Covid-19 world.

Program overview:

  • Introduction & Moderation: Andreas Raspotnik, AlaskaNor project manager
  • AlaskaNor and Arctic maritime transportation: Malte Humpert, The Arctic Institute – Center for Circumpolar Security Studies
  • Arctic maritime transportation in a post Covid-world, perspectives from Alaska and North Norway
    • Mead Treadwell, Former Alaska Lt. Governor
    • Kjell Stokvik, Center for High North Logistics

ARCTIC-2050: Mapping the Future of the Arctic

Arctic development has significantly intensified in the last few years. The volatile dynamics, complexity, and interdependence of the regional driving forces make the future Arctic landscape extremely uncertain and ambiguous. The Arctic-2050 roundtable aims to identify how institutional and innovation development can make the intensification of economic activity in the Arctic a key driver of the sustainable development of the region, including social and environmental perspectives.

Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO and the Nord University Business School developed four narratives for the Arctic until 2050 describing possible futures depending on the pace of innovations and quality of institutes. The roundtable opens up a multi-stakeholder dialogue to critically assess the scenarios, discuss threats and opportunities for the economy, cities, and communities, and sketch recommendations for the long-term
leadership agenda in business, policy, and the third sector.

Significance of Eurasian Arctic Transshipment Hubs for Arctic Shipping: Implications for Regional Planning

Transshipment hubs in the northern latitudes could add a new dimension to global trade and be a catalyst for increased regional and industrial development in the High North. Increased transshipment simplifies the transport network allowing it to deal with increased volume resulting in reduced shipping costs. Such hubs could provide cargo storage facilities and various port and industrial services for shipping in the Eurasian Arctic.

The seminar is organized by the Centre for High North Logistics, Nord University. The seminar will have two parts. During the first part CHNL will present work in progress connected to port infrastructure development in the Arctic. During the second part, the discussion will open out to the audience in order to provide feedback to current research progress.

The research results as well as the audience discussion will focus on the following aspects: What makes a port an important Arctic transshipment hub; and what is the socio-economic significance of Eurasian Arctic transshipment hubs for future development of shipping in the Arctic and in promoting regional and industrial development?
