The 6th Korea Arctic Academy Online CourseThe 6th Korea Arctic Academy Online Course About this course The Korea Arctic Academy, hosted by the Korean Ministry of Oceans & Fisheries and co-organized by the Korea Maritime Institute (KMI) and University of the Arctic (UArctic), is an initiative to facilitate exchanges between students from both the Arctic region and Korea in order to develop and share a common Arctic vision. It aims to spread knowledge on sustainable Arctic development and ocean management and promote understanding of the Arctic indigenous peoples. The Korea Maritime Institute serves as a Secretariat of the Academy. The program of the Korea Arctic Academy usually consists of lectures on Arctic issues (4 or 5 days) given by international or Korean experts and field trips (3 or 4 days) to Arctic related organizations, research institutions, and industrial sites in Korea.
Due to the extraordinary situation caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and after careful consultation with KMI and UArctic, we have made the regretful decision to call off the physical gathering of the Korea Arctic Academy in Busan and replace it by an online course. This online course will be available for a period of 8 weeks from September to October 2020.
We plan to organize next year’s Korea Arctic Academy in Busan again and have the privilege to announce that the best students who complete the course will be preselected to attend the 7th Korea Arctic Academy in 2021.
