Awarded Funding for the Thematic Network:

In April, 2016 the first ever workshop on Arctic Migration was organized by the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland, in Rovaniemi, Finland. The workshop was followed by a second meeting in September, 2016. The workshop was held by Nordregio, in Stockholm, Sweden. The aim of these workshops was to establish a new research group for the Arctic Centre, as well as to enhance cross-border cooperation by creating a UArctic Thematic Network of Arctic Migration. Both events have been founded in order to support the establishment of the new Thematic Network.
