Forum and network for Northern Governance and Development

Building capacity for sustainable social and economic development in the Circumpolar North is the main objective for both the forum and the network coordinated by Finnmark University College (FiUC).

New course and study programmes on both undergraduate and graduate level, reflecting the need for knowledge and competence in the region, are among the most positive results of the regional research and development work initiated through and by the network.

This is achieved mainly through close and continuous cooperation with development agents and partners in both the public and private sector in the region in joint development projects, but also cooperation in research and education.

The combination of these three elements is not only the ‘trade mark' of the Forum and Network for Northern Governance and Development, but also a criterion for success in building capacity for sustainable development in the North.
