About the course
Go North! That is how the wind of change blows. The interest in the Arctic region is as intensive as the "go East" movement 25 years ago after the Soviet Union collapsed. And much more challenging, as this interest involves conflicting aims of national and international agents. Huge, rich, undeveloped, unique and fragile - the Arctic region has always been defined by change and uncertainty: the extent of sea ice, the unusually warm temperatures, new shipping routes opening up, oil exploration efforts. The Russian Arctic is a kind of terra incognita even for many people in Russia – too far, too cold and too big to be real. There are even more barriers to understanding the Russian Arctic for international communities.

Another challenge we are going to meet this summer is to break the boundaries between the disciplines, which have often compartmentalized knowledge about the Arctic. If mankind wants to play in the Arctic region, the only way to make decisions for a better future for us is to see the Arctic as a whole – with all its resources, nature, culture, climate, people, history of Earth and history of people.
Multidisciplinary approach for strategic perspectives
The Russian Arctic as a real thing. Wanted dead and alive: stones, ice, water, life.
Geology, ecosystems, climate, energy and other resources
The Russian Arctic as mankind's playground: how safe and sustainable are our games?
Economic, social and geopolitics decisions for the Russia and the world. The basis for discussion will be in present days of Russian Economy in the Arctic region, as well as social and cultural dimensions of human life in Arctic region: labor migrants, indigenous people, their culture and dependence on fragile Arctic environment.
