About NUNAMED

Since 1991, NUNAMED conferences took place approximately every three years, and have been held with 200-250 participants, mainly from Greenland and Denmark. In 2003, NUNAMED was held as part of ICCH12, with participants from all over the Arctic region and from the Scandinavian countries. Since 2003, the number of participants from countries outside Greenland and Denmark has been increasing. 

The purposes of the NUNAMED congresses are:

  • To present current Greenlandic medical research results,

  • To put current Greenlandic medical research issues up for debate in an interdisciplinary forum in Greenland,

  • To promote collaboration on health research in Greenland between professional groups and between health districts.

In connection with NUNAMED 2022, a PhD course will be held on September 27-29, 2022. 

A pre-competition "Præ-Nunamed" is planned for April 2022, for younger Greenlandic researchers living in Denmark. The three best presentations are awarded with grants for participation in NUNAMED 2022.
