Session Abstract:
Nordic Centres of Excellence are established to strengthen cooperation between outstanding researchers, research groups and research institutions within areas of priority for the Nordic countries. NCoEs add value to research performed in the countries and increase the international impact of Nordic research. The NCoEs are multi-site research environment with a common research agenda, joint management and budget, and joint communication and outreach activities.
Within the NordForsk Arctic Programme four NCoEs were funded in 2016 and their final reports are submitted during 2021. The four NCoEs have performed research within the fields of resource extraction and sustainable communities, reindeer husbandry in a globalizing North, Arctic climate predictions and pathways to resilient communities and climate change effects and infectious diseases.
This event will present the outcome of each of the four NCoEs.
