On the last day of January 2022, the possibility to submit an expression of interest for the Arctic Graduate School with a focus on Sustainable Development ended. The school is a brand-new initiative at the Arctic Centre at Umeå university, Arcum, and will open its doors for the first time this autumn.
A total of 25 applications were received from all four faculties with a total of 15 departments and units applying. In the next couple of weeks, a reference group will evaluate the applications, and the Steering Committee of Arcum will on March 7 decide which 12 are selected.
The graduate school has had a quick development with the announcement of the set-up at the end of November last year, and doctoral students in place by the first of September this year.
