The Arctic Five Chairs
The Arctic Five Chairs is the primary format for research collaboration within the Arctic Five, built from scholars with the will and capacity to build alliances within research and education between the Arctic Five universities, forming new collaborations or strengthening existing ones.
The objective is, firstly, to generate collaborations in research and education within the Arctic Five through a bottom-up approach; and secondly, to formulate broader fields of collaboration. The overarching aim is to improve the success of Arctic Five universities in securing external funding, and in this way, help meet our goal in finding research-based solutions to joint problems facing our northern societies.
Prospective Arctic Five Chairs are established scholars at an Arctic Five university, with either recent or ongoing research and/or educational collaborations with other Arctic Five partner universities, or who plans to establish such partnerships. Becoming an Arctic Five Chair will enable scholars to build these collaborations, whilst providing support for developing joint projects, as well as assistance with applying for larger funding calls. Applicants from all disciplines or fields of study are welcome to apply.
The position as Arctic Five Chairs is held for two years with the possibility of prolongation for one year. An Arctic Five Chair is granted 20 percent of his or her working hours and a budget of 10 000 EUR per year for travels and workshops related to the position. An Arctic Five Chair is obliged to follow the project plan in his or her application and to contribute to activities related to The Arctic Five within his or her home university.
