The 6th NRF Open Assembly will be held in Norway in the fall of 2011. Overarching Theme of the 6th Open Assembly is "Our Ice Dependent World". Due to unforeseen complications, which emerged during the preparations of the 6th NRF Open Assembly, the Northern Research Forum will be delaying the event until the fall of 2011, most probably September 2011. The rescheduled dates will be ready and posted in September of 2010.The overall objective and themes as well as the location of the 6th NRF Open Assembly will remain unchanged. For further information, please contact the NRF secretariat at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it The overall objective of the Open Assembly in Norway is to address the impact of dwindling ice - terrestrial as well as ocean bound - on the complex interface of nature and society in all climatic zones of the world. In light of the man-made part of global warming, the natural phenomena of ice is gradually becoming a concept of global politics - a common heritage of humankind - affecting societal life in quite dramatic ways on a global scale. This turn in the interrelationship and working of the society/nature interface is the focus of the Assembly. Tentative themes of the Norway 6ht Open Assembly: * The interface of nature, society, culture and livelihood on ice: Global implications * Humanity, Communities, Minds, Perceptions and Knowledge on Ice * International law, "Soft Laws" and Governance on ice: Economic, Cultural and Political Implications * Geopolitics and International Security on Ice * Can We Imagine a World Without Ice? Economic, Political, Social and Political Consequences. Additional information will be added later on the NRF website.
