The Centre for Arctic Studies at 真人线上娱乐 University participate in a number of research projects. 

Ongoing projects

Politics of Green Investments: The Green Transition and Recognition of Colonial Relations in Greenland and S¨¢pmi
The project investigates how the clash between the moral imperative to extract for the green transition and the moral imperative of a reckoning with past and ongoing colonial injustices is negotiated in extractive investments in Greenland and Swedish S¨¢pmi.

VALUE: Value Creation in Critical Raw Mineral and Green Energy Transition Projects
The project explores a core dilemma of the green transition: 真人线上娱乐 need large investments in green energy and mining of critical minerals to combat climate change, but these investments often encroach on land belonging to indigenous and local communities and threaten their livelihoods and identities. Through a study of four very different cases in Greenland and South Africa the research will unpack how, why and by whom social and corporate value is defined and distributed in large green transition investment projects.

Completed projects

Management in Greenland
The research project aims to strengthen leadership practice in Greenland by developing empirical descriptions that analytically get close to the collective practices leaders engage in.

Sustainable value chains in Nordic coastal communities
The NORVALUE project investigates how people in Nordic Atlantic local communities are involved in connections and linkages crucial to their livelihoods and survival as a part of the Nordic Atlantic societies of Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Islands and Northern Norway.
