The second round of stakeholder consultations contributing to the work on the EU Arctic Impact Assessment (EUAIA) report will take place in Tromsø on 22 January 2014.
Stakeholders are the crucial source of information and knowledge in the EUAIA and play a key role in identifying recommendations for the EU policy-makers. Consultations are to enhance experts’ understanding of both the current developments in the Arctic and the role the European Union plays or could play in shaping these developments or addressing their impacts.

During the general meeting experts will give an overview of the project and present issues of importance. Workshops will address specific trends and developments in the Arctic. The workshops in Tromsø will focus on climate change, oil and gas exploitation, Arctic shipping and fisheries. The main outputs from the workshops are:
> Critical factors for EU decision-making in the Arctic
> Assessment by stakeholders of information collected in factsheets
> Ideas towards recommendations for the EU policy-making
The consultations will be based on factsheets prepared by the project team.
Until mid-February 2014, stakeholders are also invited to fill out an online questionnaire at http://arcticinfo.eu/en/online-questionnaire.
