Since 2012, Emerging Leaders has been an early-career Arctic mentoring program for leaders from 18 to 35 years old. The program brings together 30 young leaders from the academic, business, public and NGO sectors to learn about the Arctic in a thrilling journey through Northern Norway.
The program will include a 7-day trip through the Norwegian high North landscape centered around this year's theme. Along the way, the participants will meet with local representatives of different sectors and engage in timely discussions of current visions, trends and challenges in the Arctic.
Starting in Bodø, the trip will continue through Andøya and finish in Tromsø, where the group will attend the last day of the Arctic Frontiers 2025: Beyond Borders Conference and the Arctic Council Youth Conference. The Arctic Council is the organization through which UArctic was created.
The Emerging Leaders program will run January 23-30, 2025.
