The Russian Federation recently assumed leadership of the Arctic Council, which it will chair from 2021 to 2023. The Arctic agenda is enormous and world interest in the region is great, so Russia will be engaged with issues ranging from natural resource management, trade, and commerce to climate change, ecology, and sustainable development. The impact of climate change on natural development and human activity in the Arctic region is of critical and global scale importance, and is worthy of international cooperative effort to address. Yet, the attention this issue receives is affected by competition between states and multinational corporations, with negative outcomes reflected upon indigenous culture, languages, and quality of life across the region. In this context, U.S. Embassy Moscow, the Fulbright Program in Russia, and Institute of International Education in Moscow will organize a two-day international Seminar focusing on ecological, social, economic, and political development in the Arctic with the intention of furthering international collaborative research for improving quality of life and furthering international cooperation, while supporting a sustainable ecological environment in the region. The main aim of the Fulbright International Arctic Seminar will be to share research and provide a forum for discussion to enhance international scientific and educational projects and to consolidate research in the Arctic countries. Within this Seminar, we intend to establish new scientific contacts and strengthen existing cooperation in the field of the Arctic development
