Sustainable Development of the Arctic
The Nordic countries have teamed up with Canada and the USA to fund research projects on the sustainable development of the Arctic.
The main aim of the call is to support research collaboration among participating countries in the Arctic region to bring forward new knowledge on how to ensure the sustainable development of the Arctic. The objective is to jointly fund interdisciplinary research projects of the highest international quality, with potential for impact and societal relevance, and with clear added value from multilateral collaboration. The aim is also to further indigenous perspectives and Artic added value.
