The themes of the Congress will follow those of Norway’s Arctic Council chairmanship program in partnership with the Norwegian Ministry for Foregin Affairs.

ICASS XI will include a meeting of the IASSA General Assembly, high-level plenary  and parallel sessions, as well as networking and social events. Bringing these events together in Bodø - a 2024 European Cultural Capital - will be a showcase of Arctic cooperation, and provide excellent opportunities to meet and exchange without extra travel.
