About Arctic Hub

Based in Nuuk, Greenland, Arctic Hub serves as a central point of contact for Greenland’s local and international research community. Established in 2021 through a partnership between the Greenlandic and Danish governments, we focus on building bridges between people, institutions, and countries engaged in Greenlandic research. Moreover, we contribute to ensuring that knowledge from research reaches the public.

What does that look like in practice? Here are just a few examples:

Book A Meeting: Supporting researchers from outside Greenland with tailored guidance.

Arctic Hub Connect: Hosting workshops to foster collaboration within Greenlandic research.

Paasisavut: Organizing a research communication competition for PhD students working in Greenland.

Research communication: Producing articles and videos to make Greenlandic research accessible to the public.

How-To Guides: Providing practical, hands-on resources for researchers.

And that’s just the beginning — there’s so much more to explore with Arctic Hub! So follow our newsletter, LinkedIn, or Facebook if you want to stay updated on our events, publications and news on arctic research.

Greenland is not just a backdrop for research, but an active participant

The world is changing and the changes aren’t restricted to the weather; they propel everything from international politics, local infrastructure plans, cultural products, the way we travel, the way we eat, and, on the whole, the way we live together. A changing world calls for new answers.

When it comes to climate change, Greenland takes center stage, and it holds many of the answers we’re looking for. This explains why researchers from all over the world find their way here. The knowledge gained in Greenland is valuable and has the potential to drive society forward – both locally and globally.

For that reason, it is important to have a comprehensive unit in place that can ensure that the knowledge gained in Greenland is guaranteed the greatest possible outreach and impact, and that Greenland is not just a backdrop for research, but an active participant. Arctic Hub is that unit.

We connect people within Greenlandic research

Arctic Hub is founded on the basic understanding that knowledge is most valuable if it is shared and activated. We see it as our main task to help create new networks and workflows that can help knowledge travel around more easily – both in Greenland, the Danish Realm and internationally.

We do this by creating overview and dissemination. Overview is a prerequisite for being able to put the right people, institutions and organizations together. Dissemination leads the knowledge from the research community into society. Taken together, these two parts make the whole that summarizes our efforts in one sentence:

Arctic Hub makes research accessible.

The research conducted in Greenland is the beating heart of everything we do in Arctic Hub.
