ICARP Follow-up from side-meeting and discussion on research priorities

This session will first summarize shortly the process for fourth International Conference of Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) and the Arctic research priorities identified in online UArctic survey, Thematic Networks leadership team and in pre-meeting held at this Assembly meeting. The UArctic community engagement to ICARP IV is open to all UArctic members and therefore this session gives an opportunity particularly for those who missed pre-meeting, to contribute by sharing one’s personal or institutional challenges and issues which should be researched and solved. Those that are needed for the people in the Arctic to keep Arctic as homeland. All this will feed into a report of UArctic community engagement which will be handed to ICARP process and thus it will be taken further into Arctic research planning.

Concepts and definitions of “Indigenous” and “northern” institutions in UArctic – small northern college

How to increase the mobility of northern indigenous students and staff within north2north 

The north2north mobility program was originally created to enhance the mobility of northern indigenous students. Twenty years after the creation of north2north, we can see that the number of northern indigenous students who take part in north2north is still low. We would like to discuss what can be done to involve a greater number of northern indigenous students in mobility activities. We would also like to discuss if increasing the mobility of northern indigenous staff could help to increase the mobility of indigenous students.
