In the morning plenary session, the conference will introduce the important novelties expected for the new Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme 2014-2020. A stronger focus on results and impacts, a different intervention approach looking for projects that will make a change and cooperation themes based on EU2020 strategy, and the Arctic Dimension are some of the new aspects that have been developed so far.

The conference will kick-off a period of consultation of the priorities under development. A facilitated workshop in the afternoon of the 19th will ask stakeholders to test if the priorities, objectives, actions, and indicators are workable. After the conference, consultations will take place in the programme area and online.
