Collaboration is at the heart of Várdduo´s agenda, both in order to pave way for anchored research, and to ensure our research activities are of relevance and reaches out to communities, organisations and institutions operating in Sápmi.
National and international collaborations Várdduo has recent and ongoing collaboration with different partners, such as the Sámi Parliament and the Sámi Education Centre in Jokkmokk, with the Swedish Forest Agency, Ministry of Agriculture, the Swedish Health Institute and Sámi Education Institute in Inari.
In an academic sense, many of our researchers are involved in international collaborations and transdisciplinary, transnational research projects.
Open seminars, an award and a stipendium As part of Várdduo´s collaborative efforts, we encourage scientific studies of relevance to Sápmi. As an active measure in such regard, we annually distribute Várdduo´s Scientific Award and Várdduo´s Student Stipend together with Sametinget. We strive to arrange open seminars and other joint activities, linking civic society and institutions with the academy, to the extent possible.
