Luleå University of Technology is pleased to announce the appointment of three Chairs to The Arctic Five network: Christina Allard, Agatino Rizzo and Karolina Parding.
The Arctic Five is a partnership between Luleå University of
Technology, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Umeå University, the
University of Lapland and the University of Oulu, whom together aim to
lead the way on key Arctic issues. The mission of the alliance is to
advance and share knowledge, develop education, and create innovations
for the advancement of our region and a sustainable Arctic.
As part
of the Arctic Five’s flagship Chairs & Fellows programme, the
Chairs initiative represents a group of scholars with the will and
capacity to form original research and education alliances. Thus today,
the Arctic Five institutions have collectively appointed 15 Arctic Five
Chairs – all of whom are highly ranked scholars from across the human,
social, natural and technical sciences.
Agatino Rizzo, Professor in Architecture, whose
research interest include urban sustainability, smart urbanism, Arctic

The Arctic Five Chair will be an invaluable opportunity to get access
to a prestigious network of scholars, institutions, and networks that
will enable me to develop further my studies in urban sustainability in
the Arctic region, says Agatino Rizzo.
