May 26, 2026 – May 29, 2026
The UArctic Congress 2026 takes place from May 26 to 29, 2026 in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands.
The event is hosted by the University of the Faroe Islands (Setur), in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Industry and Trade, and the Faroe Marine Research Institute.
The 2026 Congress themes align with the Kingdom of Denmark’s Arctic Council Chairship priorities. As a unique element, the event also integrates the Ocean Conference, planned to be held in the Faroe Islands in 2026, to boost collaboration in this field.
The five themes are:
- Sustainable Economic Development and International Cooperation
- Oceans
- Climate Change in the Arctic
- Biodiversity
- Indigenous Peoples and Northern Communities
The UArctic Congress 2026 is the fifth Congress organized to date.
