Nordic Arctic Co-operation Programme

For over twenty years the Nordic Council of Ministers Arctic Co-operation Programme has contributed to enhancing knowledge about the Arctic region. The Nordic Arctic Co-operation Programme 2018-2021 was focused on four overall areas: People, Planet and Prosperity as well as Partnerships as a cross-cutting theme. It was administered by Nordregio. From 2022, this programme will be the responsibility of NAPA in Greenland.


Call for 2022 is now open

The call for the Nordic Arctic Cooperation Programme 2022 is now open. The administration of the programme has however been moved to another Nordic institution and therefore Nordregio will no longer receive and review new or continued applications. This task will from 2022 be the responsibility of NAPA in Greenland. Two- or three-year projects that were approved in earlier periods of the Nordic Arctic Cooperation Programme and are still ongoing, will therefore have to apply for their continued funding through NAPA.

Nordregio will however continue to administrate and follow up on project activities that were approved in previous periods. All project reporting from programme periods prior to the upcoming 2022 period – including financial statements, progress, and final reports – shall therefore be handed in to Nordregio as in previous years. For projects that are entering their second or third year in 2022, this means that project activities prior to that must be reported to Nordregio while activities that take place in the upcoming project years will be reported to NAPA.

Formally, the only change that is taking place is that the administration of the programme. Besides that, the same rules apply, and these changes should not affect ongoing projects in any further way.
