All members are represented in the UArctic Assembly, which oversees the development and direction of our organization. Meetings of the Assembly (previously known as Meetings of the Council) also serve as a forum of consultation, networking and cooperation between all members.
The Assembly meets once per year, with meetings hosted by UArctic member(s).
The next Assembly meeting will be held from June 6-9, 2025 in Inari, Finland. The meeting and conference will be hosted by the Sámi Education Institute.
The UArctic Congress is a biennial event that brings together a science conference and key UArctic meetings into a single gathering. With the aim to foster contacts and enhance networking, the UArctic Congress brings together institutional leaders, Indigenous representatives, academics, scientists, and students from around the Circumpolar North and beyond. Together with partners, policy makers, and other actors, the Congress strives to take the Arctic agenda forward by creating and strengthening collaborations that produce new findings and solutions for the future of the Arctic region.
The UArctic Congress 2026 takes place from May 26-29, 2026 in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, hosted by the University of the Faroe Islands (Setur).
In addition to high-level plenary and parallel sessions, the Congress also includes the UArctic Assembly and Rectors meetings, as well as networking and social events. It is therefore an excellent platform for all UArctic members to engage with each other, establish new connections, and promote cooperation in circumpolar research and higher education.
