NordForsk awards funding to networks focusing on indigenous peoples in the Nordic region. The overall goal is to contribute to the sustainable and ethically sound development of communities and areas where indigenous peoples have interests.
199 projects have applied for funding in the first round of NordForsk's Arctic call. 36 of them, representing 18 per cent of the applications, have now been invited to the second round. The application portal is open and ready to receive the new applications.
The Nordic countries have teamed up with Canada and the USA to launch a NordForsk call on the sustainable development of the Arctic. The call is two-stage, and the deadline for pre-proposals is 4 June 2024.
One of the ways to implement ethical conduct of Arctic research involving Indigenous peoples, is to involve them in the whole research process. Even when this means that the research takes longer time, and possibly also a change of topic.
