We warmly welcome you to the NSPA Forum 2026, taking place in Tornio, Lapland, Finland, on 29–30 October 2026.
The annual NSPA Forum brings together policymakers, officials and stakeholders from the 14 regions of the Northern Sparsely Populated Areas (NSPA) network to discuss common interests and EU policies of relevance to the European Arctic.
The NSPA in the European Arctic is an area in the core of growing geopolitical interests and holds resources for Europe’s ability to secure its strategic autonomy in today’s challenging world. Northernmost Europe is of overall increasing importance for the EU’s security policy, green transition and global competitiveness.
