The overall aim of ReiGN is to understand how climate change and other processes in the Arctic will affect reindeer husbandry in Fennoscandia and how reindeer husbandry can adapt to these drivers.

The ARCPATH project aims at improving Arctic climate predictions, increasing understanding regarding how changes in climate interact with many factors relating to local communities, and supplying this knowledge as potential pathways to action.

REXSAC studies extractive resource industries in the Arctic as cultural, social, economic, and ecological phenomena.

Prolongation of work careers and increasing participation in work are set as national goals in the Nordic countries. Work environment is known to play an important role in return to work after long-term sickness absence and may affect the timing of retirement transition.

Linking the detailed information of the spatio-temporal distribution of air pollution levels and the chemical composition of the atmospheric particles with register data for mortality and morbidity, we have a unique opportunity in the Nordic countries to gain new understanding of the various health impacts from different kinds of air pollution from different kind of sources.
