ARTEK Event Conference 16- 18 March 2010: "
Arctic Energy Supply - Which way will Greenland chose? - Production, Distribution, Management, Legislation"
Read the Call for papers & invitation here
Introduction
The cold climate and dark periods in the Arctic results in relatively high and growing energy demands. Most of the energy supply is based on imported oil. Fluctuating oil prices, dependency on unstable countries and the vulnerable Arctic environment mean that the existing systems are outdated and new solutions are needed.
The Arctic energy supply mainly involves relatively small, isolated systems with different sizes. Modification of these systems to comply with new sustainability requirements is a major challenge for the utility companies.
This conference will be concerned with possible solutions within the areas Production, Distribution, Management and Legislation.
We welcome contributions, papers and posters within the three main areas:
1. Future energy production in the Arctic
2. Distributions systems, management and security of supply
3. Local and national strategies
Dates:
20 December 2009: Deadline for paper proposal (max. 500 words). Send to
Mid-January 2010: Notification of acceptance or refusal
15 February 2010: Deadline for the submission of your final paper (4-10 pages in length). Please send to
1 March 2010: Distribution of final programme
16-18 March 2010: Conference in Sisimiut.
Authors will retain copyright, but accepted papers will be published in the conference book.
A conference publication will be available at the conference and distributed to all participants.
The conference will be held in mainly English. Translation from/to Greenlandic or Danish will be provided.

Previous ARTEK Events
ARTEK Event 2009, "Tourist Cottages and Climate Change"
In the days 11 - 13 August 2009 ARTEK held its last international event in Sisimiut entitled "Tourist Cottages, and climate Change". The conference focused on how Greenland can prevent and adapt to climate change. For example by developing an environmental and energy-friendly portable tourist cottage tailored to Arctic conditions; by use of biogas from the Greenland shark for local energy production or by maintenance of the sleding tracks, essential for the dogsleding tourism.
