Nordic-Russian: Feasibility Study for Co-production between Researchers and Local Indigenous Communities

APARRI Working Group Grants: You may apply for up to $7000

Deadline: 17 October 2019

NordForsk has issued a call under the Nordic-Russian Cooperation Programme in Higher Education and Research and encourages research projects with partners in Greenland to apply for funding with an additional fund.

The programme promotes multifaceted contacts in the fields of education and research in the interest of sustainable social and economic development in Russia and the Nordic countries. The programme will fund Nordic-Russian cooperation between educational institutions and research organisations in order to improve the direct links between the institutions and organisations involved, and thereby initiate long-term partnerships.

The objective of the call is to enhance the modes of interaction between research groups and local indigenous communities when designing research projects.

The expected outcome is to provide a feasibility study on how to use scientific, traditional and local knowledge to support traditional local livelihoods in meeting climate and social changes: e.g. handicrafts, berry and mushroom gathering, fisheries, hunting, and reindeer herding and their relation to modern livelihoods in the Arctic.

Funding Information

The maximum amount of Nordic funding that may be sought is NOK 1 million and the maximum amount of Nordic funding for proposals including partners in Greenland is NOK 1.5 million.
