The extreme is here. Now.
Join a cross-disciplinary student workshop to solve the greatest issues of our time - inspired by the Arctic.
Main content
War, pandemic, climate change, resource scarcety and geopolitical tensions - we live in a time with much at stake. The extreme is not just in stories about a dystopian future. The extreme is here. Now. What do we know about what needs to be done, and which solutions could work? How can human beings cope with, adapt to, and influence the extreme environments in which they inhabit?
Can we solve the global challenges of today by looking to the Arctic - where people and societies always have faced the extreme?
UiB invites students from all disciplines to a joint workshop to work with some of the most important issues of our time:
- Geopolitics
- Climate change and resource management
- People in extreme environments
The workshop will use Systems mapping and Design Thinking to guide the students through a process of defining problems and find new solutions, based on existing knowledge.
The workshop is free and will take place at Makerspace Marineholmen in Bergen. . Sign up here to secure a spot.
