Building on the momentum of the first Arctic Futures Symposium held in October 2010, the IPF organized the Arctic Futures Symposium 2011 in Brussels, Belgium October 12th – 14th in conjunction with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation in the Lippens Auditorium at the Royal Library of Belgium.
Once again, Arctic stakeholders including EU and foreign policymakers, scientists, representatives of industry, indigenous peoples and academics were brought together to discuss needs, address challenges, exchange ideas, and network. This year's symposium was a huge sucess, providing a forum to have well-informed debates on key issues facing those living and working in the Arctic such as transport and infrastructure, search and rescue, the future of Arctic research and monitoring, ecosystem stewardship, management of natural resource development, and indigenous affairs.
