Join Project Arctic: A Simulation of Climate-Induced Conflict in the Arctic Region

CIVICA, in collaboration with PolSim, DAAD, and BMFTR, invites students to take part in Project Arctic, an interactive simulation exploring the links between climate change, geopolitics and conflict in the Arctic region.

The workshop combines a theoretical introduction to Arctic geopolitics with a crisis-management simulation, giving participants the opportunity to represent key regional stakeholders, engage in negotiations and develop policy responses to a simulated crisis.

Participants will develop their negotiation, debating, critical-thinking and strategic skills, while gaining a deeper understanding of Arctic policy and geopolitical dynamics. Working individually and in teams, participants will prepare and present a policy brief from the perspective of their assigned stakeholder.

All participants who complete the workshop received a certificate, with awards presented for Best Individual Speaker, Best Policy Brief and Best Teamwork.

Date of event: 14 November. Times TBA
Format: Online
Audience: Master’s and final-year Bachelor’s students from CIVICA universities
Application deadline: 20 October 2026
