It includes the northern areas of Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Rus- sia, Canada and the United States of America. The Arctic is important for the climate and biodiver- sity on our earth. It is at the same time the place where ethnic minorities live. During the last years policy and economy has focused increasingly on the region in order to secure the worldwide supply with natural resources. In consequence of the climate change and global warming new maritime routes has opened for navigation. As a result previously inaccessable deposits of fossil fuels can be exploited. Therefore the TU Bergakademie Freiberg will organise an interdisciplinary conference on econom- ical and political developments and the geological potential of the Arctic on 9 and 10 June 2016. We expect the participation of top-class scientists, politicians, diplomats and company representa- tives of Arctic states and Germany. TU Bergakademie is the oldest mining university worldwide and has a long-standing experience in investigation and education in mining-related topics such as exploration and exploitation as well as mining law, economics and geostrategic issues. The Arctic Conference in June 2016 is the starting point of a series of conferences and workshops on arctic-related topics which will be organised by TU Bergakademie Freiberg in the future.
