  • Comment: Good work so far on this article. However, unfortunately, in order to prove notability, an article needs to references 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk about the subject of the Wikipedia article at length. Until these sources are found, it is incredibly unlikely that this article will be accepted. Hope that you can find those sources soon, good Jack 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 15:01, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Arctic Frontiers was established in 2006, and held its first conference in 2007 in Tromsø, Norway.[1] Since then, Arctic Frontiers has annually arranged the Arctic Frontiers conference in Tromsø.[2] [3]

The conference is a forum where people from all over the globe come together for dialogues regarding the Arctic.[4] With the aim of bringing science to policy, the Arctic Frontiers conference is a place where local and indigenous communities, policymakers, scientist, and businesses can meet for holistic discussions.[5] [6] [7] [8]The number of people attending is usually around 14-1500.[9] [10]

Every year the Arctic Frontiers conference has a new overarching theme, but the focus lays on the recurring subjects of geopolitics, climate change, ecosystems, security, and indigenous issues.[11] In 2027, the name of the conference is Information/disinformation. [12]

Throughout the rest of the year, Arctic Frontiers hosts other activities. The aim of these activities is the same as for the conference, mainly to foster dialogue between science, local knowledge policy, businesses, and local communities. Some of these events are the Arctic Frontiers Abroad events, Arctic Frontiers Open events for the public, and Arctic Frontiers Young events.[13] [14]
