Arctic Festival 2020–21

Date: 06.09.2021 - 31.12.2021 , Venue: Praha, Ústí nad Labem, Hradec Králové, České Budějovice, Dačice

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Arctic Festival 2020–21 was launched on 6 December 2020 at the Museum of the City of Ústí nad Labem without the participation of foreign partners (https://youtu.be/XNkATnAUp4c). The second part of the programme – with the participation of foreign guests – will take place from 6 September to 31 December 2021.

Thanks to the festival, the professional and lay public can become familiar with the results of Czech and Nordic scientists in Arctic research and get acquainted with joint Czech-Arctic cultural and scientific activities in Czechia and in the Arctic. In addition, the public can gain an awareness of the culture and history of the Arctic peoples and enjoy a unique culture from different parts of the far North. The Arctic Festival is a result of cooperation between Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem and the Norwegian Polar Institute in Tromsø with the financial support of the Fund for Bilateral Relations within the EEA and Norway Funds 2014–2021.
