UiT The Arctic University of Norway has established the Arctic Centre for Sustainable Energy (ARC). This is an interdisciplinary centre focusing on Arctic challenges and conditions within renewable energy and greenhouse gas management. The centre combines expertise in physics, humanities, chemistry, social sciences, applied mathematics, marine biology, computer science and electrical engineering.
On the ARC day, the center will be presented by lectures, posters and debates.

Fornybar energi og håndtering av klimagasser
UiT Norges arktiske universitet har etablert et tverrfaglig senter for Fornybar energi og håndtering av klimagasser. Kunnskap fra samfunnsfag, naturvitenskap og teknologi skal bidra til en grønn omstilling i samfunnet, lokalt og globalt. Sentret kombinere ekspertise innenfor fysikk, humaniora, kjemi, samfunnsfag, anvendt matematikk, marinebiologi og elektroteknikk, og har prosjekter og problemstillinger knyttet til fornybar energi og håndtering av klimagasser.
På ARC dagen skal senterets markeres ved foredrag og debatter.
