The Arctic Five partner universities are pleased to announce the appointment of fifteen Chairs to the alliance – all of whom are highly ranked scholars from across the human, social, natural and technical sciences.
As part of the Arctic Five’s flagship Chairs & Fellows programme, this inaugural group of chairs represents a new collaboration format for the Arctic Five, where each chair has defined their research focus and plans, while framing the scope of collaboration, including potential linkages with educational activities.

“These appointments will help build a strong foundation for the Arctic Five alliance, and the collective efforts of our Chairs offer great potential for the stimulation and growth of cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary research and education.“
