The Fifth Polar Law Symposium will be held in the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland (Rovaniemi, Finland) on 6th to 8th September 2012. The deadline for papers is 31st March.
The Symposium brings together internationally renowned scholars,
partaking in both Antarctic and Arctic research, from different parts of
the globe.
Previous symposia have proven to be extremely successful in
promoting both scholarship and understanding of polar issues. Their
outcomes were beneficial to scholars, students and academicians,
government agencies, policy makers, jurists and various stakeholders
alike. In 2012 we expect participation from the local authorities and Saami politicians.
The
abstract should contain no more than 200 words and should be sent to
Kamrul Hossain [khossain(at)ulapland.fi] by 31st March 2012.
Participants’ registration is from June 15th – August 15th, 2012.
Registrations are to be sent to Raija Kivilahti [raija.kivilahti(at)ulapland.fi].
