Arctic Hub Connect 2026
Mar 5, 2026

Researcher in Greenland? Let’s connect on March 5th, 2026!

 

Arctic Hub Connect is an interactive, online workshop bringing together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders working with and in Greenland. Building on the strong experiences from previous years, Arctic Hub Connect 2026 continues to create space for dialogue, reflection, and new connections across disciplines, institutions, and countries.

 

The event is designed to support responsible, relevant, and inclusive research in Greenland by strengthening networks and encouraging open exchange between people with different expertise, roles, and experiences.

 

At Arctic Hub, we would love to get a better understanding and overview of the research activities in Greenland. We invite you to share your plans for your research in Greenland in 2026 and learn about other ongoing projects in the area you’re planning to visit.

 

Date: Thursday, March 5 – 10:00-13.00 am (UTC-2/West Greenlandic Time).

 

Participation: The online meeting will be held on Zoom by invitation. The workshop language is English. To improve the experience for both you and your fellow attendees, we encourage you to participate actively and with video. 🙂

 

Aim: 
1) Establish an overview of research activities in Greenland across research disciplines
2) Share overview with a broad range of stakeholders, e.g. citizens, public administration, business organizations
3) Enhance the quality of research through coordination, collaboration, and knowledge exchange
4) Reduce research fatigue in Greenland.

 

More information about the program, speakers, and registration will be shared closer to the event.
