The theme of this year’s conference will be "Strengthening Sustainable Communities".

The Arctic Council, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary, will be represented by a number of Senior Arctic Officials who will provide the regional perspective on the EU Arctic Policy, giving valuable feedback to EU policy makers who have expressed their intention to consult widely with Arctic stakeholders.
