They also attended a panel discussion on emerging issues and innovations with Saami representatives, government officials, climate scientists and the senior Arctic official for Finland to the Arctic Council. From Helsinki, they then travelled to the Arctic city of Oulu where, among other activities, they participated in an “Innovation in business and the Arctic” session with entrepreneurs. The Fulbright Arctic program annually brings together a network of scholars, professionals and researchers from the U.S., Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia and Sweden for a series of three seminars and a Fulbright exchange.
