• Promote research projects and education on children (and young people) of the Arctic, especially indigenous children.
• Organize research training (Ph.D. and Post Doc levels) in research on children and youth in the Arctic.
• Promote collaboration between universities conducting research on (and with) children and youth in the Arctic.
• Disseminate scientific knowledge on children and youth in the Arctic. This will be achieved through teaching at universities and through the publication of a book (in English) in 2021 on the research and furthermore, through articles in international peer-reviewed journals.
• Organizing annual conferences of researchers doing research on child and youth well-being in the Arctic.

Plan for the next two years:

• To engage more universities in the Arctic in the network.
• To continue and strengthen the impact of the network on national policies securing the Rights of the Child for all children in the Arctic.
• To collaborate in solution- and resource-focused research in cooperation with local and indigenous children, families, and local communities in the Arctic.
• To cooperate in planning and conducting community-based participatory action research on/with children and young people in the Arctic – as this is part of increasing well-being and participation in a democratic society.
