Arctic Security Conference 2025: Managing Fragmentation and Polarization

Building on the foundations of last year’s event, the Arctic Security Conference will be held for a second time in 2025. The ASC aims to facilitate in-depth discussions about the underlying drivers and logic shaping Arctic politics, by specifically concentrating on a single issue – security.
This year’s conference will take place at “Den arktiske hovedscenen” (The Arctic Main Stage) at SALT in Oslo, with open and closed events on September 17 and the main program on September 18, all aimed at fostering an informed debate on northern security policy and sharing research.
