Description
One-day seminar on Canadas and Europes Northern Dimension
A joint initiative by the Canadian Circumpolar Institute and the Thule Institute
Monday 19th May, 2008, University of Oulu, Finland
The seminar is the first in a proposed series and is organised in collaboration with the Thule Institute, University of Oulu; Canadian Circumpolar Institute, University of Alberta; and the Embassy of Canada in Finland.
The aim of the seminar is to bring together policy-makers and researchers to explore common perspectives and future challenges of Europes and Canadas northern regions. With common concerns over circumpolar issues, international security and environmental protection, both Canada and the Nordic states display a strong sense of shared values and outlook.
The programme will open with an overview of Canada’s Northern Strategy, followed by a discussion on Circumpolar and Arctic cooperation in the European context. The discussion will be led by key policy-makers and officials from Canada, Finland and the EU.
Prominent researchers from Canada and Europe will explore a number of important Northern concerns that include sovereignty and national security issues and circumpolar cooperation; opportunities and challenges of resource development in the North; health issues and challenges facing Northern communities in the Nordic states; and the northern dimension of commercial and economic ties between Canada and Europe.
