International Graduate School on the Emergence of Innovative Blue Economies in the Arctic

Climate change has many impacts in the Arctic, especially for coastal communities who have a close connection to the marine environment and depend on it for their food security, access, and abundance of culturally important resources, etc. This changing environment creates an uncertain future but could also allow new relevant economic development opportunities for Northern communities.

Taking place first in Kuujjuaq and then onboard the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen, this international graduate school focuses on the emergence of innovative blue economies in the Arctic, addresses both the challenges and the opportunities Northern communities are facing. This experiential training will offer participants the opportunity to interact with renowned researchers in a trans-sectoral perspective that combines a wide range of disciplines of both social and natural sciences (anthropology, sociology, economics, geography, arctic marine biology and ecology, marine physics, and biochemistry). This will also incorporate the knowledge and perspectives of Indigenous Peoples, as well as organizations, governments and businesses involved in the region, as their way of observing and understanding the environment is essential in defining the challenges to be met, as well as relevant and appropriate strategies and actions.

This School is a joint initiative of the WAGE Circumpolar Partnership and the Sentinel North program at Université Laval.
