Umeå University is part of a unique collaboration together with four Arctic universities in Sweden, Finland and Norway with the aim to lead the way in Arctic issues. This alliance has a signed agreement on a "Joint Arctic Agenda", where the goal is to advance and share knowledge, education, research and innovations to develop a more sustainable Arctic. Together, the universities form The Arctic Five.
The Arctic Five is a collaboration between the five Arctic universities in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Each university has representatives in the Rector's council, Executive Team, Student's Team, and Communications Team. The Arctic Five Chairs and Fellows programmes have representatives from each university.
