UArctic Congress 2026
Faroe Islands 26-29 May 2026
Healthy Humans and Oceans in the Arctic
The biannual UArctic Congress takes place in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands from May 26 to 29, 2026. The event is hosted by the University of the Faroe Islands (Setur), in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Industry and Trade and the Faroe Marine Research Institute.
The 2026 Congress themes align with the Kingdom of Denmark’s Arctic Council Chairship priorities. As a unique element, the event also integrates the Ocean Connectivity Conference, planned to be held in the Faroe Islands in 2026, to boost collaboration in this field.
The themes are:
- Sustainable Economic Development and International Cooperation
- Oceans
- Climate Change in the Arctic
- Biodiversity
- Indigenous Peoples and Northern Communities
The UArctic Congress 2026 is the fifth Congress organized to date.
