CO-CREATING ARCTIC RESEARCH TOGETHER WITH INDIGENOUS RIGHTSHOLDERS
Workshop at Arctic Science Summit Week 2021
23 March 2021, online 18-21h GMT (19-22h CET)

This International Arctic Science Committee (IASC)-funded workshop in collaboration with EU PolarNet, organised by Saami Council and a researchers from a broad variety of disciplines will discuss experiences of the development of co-creating research projects, with a special focus on the Indigenous perspectives. What are their experiences in the co-creation process of the development of research projects? How can this process be improved and who needs to be involved in this (Indigenous communities and organizations, research organizations, funding agencies, etc.)? Or do we need a paradigm change, e.g., develop a way how the science community together with funders could be partners with the indigenous communities in order to support these communities in developing their own research needs?
