Organizers announce a call for presentation abstracts for the 2017
Arctic Energy Summit. This summit will convene 18-20 September 2017 in
Helsinki, Finland.

The 4th biennial 2017 Arctic Energy Summit is a multidisciplinary event
expected to draw several hundred industry officials, scientists,
academics, policy makers, energy professionals, and community leaders
together to collaborate and share best practices as they relate to a
comprehensive array of Arctic energy issues. The 2017 Arctic Energy
Summit builds on the Sustainable Development Working Group's legacy
efforts to address energy as a fundamental element of the sustainable
development of the Arctic, and occurs during Finland's Chairmanship of
the Arctic Council (2017-2019).

The three-day summit will focus on a diverse set of topics including:

  • Oil and gas;
  • Geothermal, solar, wind, hydro, and tidal energy;
  • Utilities;
  • Microgrids;
  • Energy policy and regulation;
  • Community impacts;
  • Energy finance and investment;
  • Climate change; and
  • Energy security.

Hosted by Alaska's Institute of the North, in collaboration with the
Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy, the Arctic Energy Summit
will highlight the Arctic as a leader in renewable energy development
and integration and exporter of world-class knowledge and expertise.

Organizers invite subject matter experts to submit expressions of
interest in speaking at the Arctic Energy Summit. The organizing
committee welcomes abstracts for technical presentations, workshops, or
moderated panel discussions. Organizers are especially interested in
presentations that discuss collaborations between academia, industry,
and government; building on what is known and learning from experience;
and evaluating differences and working toward common approaches.

Potential speaking topics include:

  • Small community energy solutions,
  • Oil and gas,
  • Renewable energy,
  • Regulation and financing, and
  • Community impact.

Deadline for expressions of interest: 31 January 2017.
