UK-Arctic Council Working Groups – Research and Engagement Scheme 2024/25 – call for applications closes on 1st March 2024.
The call is now open for researchers based in the United Kingdom to apply for funding to support practical research and engagement with the work of the Arctic Council’s Working Groups, and the priorities and initiatives of the Norwegian Chairship 2023-25. The Arctic Council is the leading intergovernmental forum promoting cooperation in the Arctic.
The aims of the scheme are to:
- support the active and effective resumption of work of projects across the six Arctic Council Working Groups and beyond.
- provide valuable opportunities for UK-based researchers to share and expand their expertise, for mutual benefit; and
- support the UK’s role as a committed and active Observer to the Arctic Council addressing priorities of joint benefit.
The scheme is being delivered in active partnership with the NERC Arctic Office and the UK Science Innovation Network. All the details of the call, including eligibility and application process can be found here. Deadline for applications is Friday 1st March 2024.
