Nordic Arctic Co-operation Programme has changed name to Nordic Arctic Programme. 

The guiding principle for Nordic Arctic Programme is resilience, and strong civil communities in the Arctic. It takes resilience to maintain and secure citizens, stability, growth, and prosperity in the Arctic. 

Nordic Arctic Programme is oriented toward external applicants, individuals as well as organizations, and it supports locally rooted co-operation in the Nordic and the Arctic. 

Objectives: 

The purpose of this program is to contribute to the Vision of the Nordic Council of Ministers. 

The vision is to be the most sustainable and integrated region in 2030. 

Nordic Arctic Programmes main goal is: 

• To directly contribute to the development of attractive and socially viable local communities in the Arctic across generations 

• To support the development of local business opportunities and sustainable economic growth in the Arctic 

• To directly contribute to promote green transitions and sustainable circular economy of the region 

Nordic and Arctic collaborations 

To secure that a project is well anchored both in the Arctic and in the Nordic, projects must include partners from at least three Nordic countries (Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Faroe Islands, or Åland). This may be supplemented by participants from one or more non-Nordic countries, e.g. the USA or Canada, as long as the leading partner is from one of the Nordic countries. 

Apply for up to 500.000 DKK per year 

In the Nordic Arctic Programme you can apply for up to 500.000 DKK per year for a period of maximum 3 years. This makes it possible to establish longterm collaborations and network.
