Open call - the Arctic Research School

In autumn 2022, the Arctic Graduate School with a focus on Sustainable Development started, an initiative to create an environment that promotes interdisciplinary research by supervisors and doctoral students from a wide range of disciplines at Umeå University meeting. Call number two is now open.

On January 11, 2023, Linda Lundmark, Head of the Arctic Graduate School, will hold a lunch seminar in English where she will present, in detail, the graduate school, and ideas on how it can benefit researchers and already admitted doctoral students across the University. She will present the process, conditions and concept of the Arctic Graduate School, describing the opportunities and benefits it offers to doctoral students and supervisors, and how it ultimately intends to benefit Arctic research at Umeå University.
