The UArctic Youth Thematic Network is dedicated to empowering youth by enhancing their participation in Arctic research and collaboration opportunities with other youth and researchers in the north.
Through providing opportunities for international collaboration, mentorship, and leadership development, the network offers students and researchers opportunities to exchange ideas, share resources, and engage in global conversations.
It amplifies youth voices by fostering participation in virtual and in-person summits, ensuring their contributions, perspectives and experiences help to shape the future of Arctic initiatives.
Additionally, the network serves as a hub for educational materials, funding opportunities, and professional connections, strengthening engagement between youth, institutions, and other UArctic networks.
