In the beginning of your research career? Become an Arctic Six Fellow!
As an Arctic Six Fellow you will have the opportunity to develop your network within Arctic research and higher education to build a foundation for a career within The Arctic Six. The overarching aim of the programme is to secure external funding to the Arctic Six universities, and in this way, help meet the goals of finding research-based solutions to joint problems facing our societies in the Fennoscandian Arctic.
There are two different categories of Arctic Six Fellows:
- Junior Arctic Six Fellow: PhD student who is at least two years into their PhD research, and registered to an Arctic Six University.
- Senior Arctic Six Fellow: postdoctoral graduate who is 1–4 years into their research career, and employed or affiliated to an Arctic Six University.
The grant differs depending on which Arctic Six university you belong to.
To be accepted as an Arctic Six Fellow, you should belong to one of the universities within The Arctic Six. The project that you apply with should already be a part of your academic work or build on that academic work. The project should aim at advancing and spreading knowledge, developing education, and creating innovations for the advancement of sustainability in this Arctic region.
