[NordForsk] - Call for full proposals under the Nordic joint call “Sustainable Development of the Arctic"

Background The Arctic region has for several years undergone rapid changes with far-reaching and profound consequences on many areas and continues to do so. A key driver for this is the climate change, which is happening faster in the Arctic region than in the rest of the world, with a temperature rise that is three to four times higher than the global average. The climate change has a direct and significant impact on the ecosystems, the local communities, and the traditional ways of living. The declining Arctic Sea ice has moreover opened new transport routes, new and wider opportunities for resource extraction and generally resulted in an increased international interest in the region. Other drivers of change, sometimes reinforced by the climate change, are technology development, migration, tourism, demographic changes, and changes in the geopolitical situation. International relations, strategies and security issues involving both Arctic and non-Arctic states are of high importance, as is how cooperation may develop in the Arctic region and across the national borders. Aims of the call The 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 sustainable development of the Arctic. The objective of the call is to jointly fund interdisciplinary research projects of highest international quality, with potential for impact and societal relevance, and with clear added value from multilateral collaboration. The call has no thematic priorities, but three keywords can inspire the applicants when developing their research ideas into proposals: Security, Natural Resources and/or Societal Changes.
