A Norwegian delegation from the Arctic Parliamentary Cooperation will visit Augsburg University on February 26. The group consists of 5-6 members from the parliament, representing the Labour Party, the Conservative and Progressive Party, Socialist Left Party, and the Center Party. The cooperation was established (in 2009) due to the increasing interest in Arctic issues, both within the Arctic countries themselves and from countries outside the region. Among the most important areas of cooperation include the fields of energy, climate change and the environment, maritime transport, health and education.
In addition to providing information about the Arctic Cooperation, this group will share knowledge and expertise on Norwegian, European and world politics, the role of NATO and the United Nations, and they will address the benefits of bi-partisan collaborations.
The lecture including a dialogue with students, faculty and staff will be held:
Date: February 26, 2025
Time: 1:50 pm – 3:00 pm
Location: OGC 100
