1. Arctic Competition – are you ready for third edition?
The third Arctic competition is now open and the EDU-ARCTIC consortium invites students and their teachers from schools across Europe and outside to enter the competition.
Your task is to construct a proposal for a research project or an innovation project relevant to the Arctic. Teams: teacher + one or two students from many countries will compete. The lucky winners of the competition will win a six-day-long Arctic expedition to Svanhovd in Northern Norway, or to the Faroe Islands. It’s a great opportunity to take part in actual research conducted at these locations!
Remember – the deadline of sending summaries is 23rd January, 11:00 am UTC.
