NARF
Nordic Arctic Research Forum is a research association established in 1990
for multidisciplinary research in contemporary arctic problems and issues.

Objectives
The objectives for NARF are the following:
* To promote and stimulate Nordic research co-operation, to increase the
participation of Nordic researchers in international arctic research and
to establish networks among researchers and other parties concerned with
arctic research.
* To promote and stimulate Nordic education and education programs for
students studying arctic problems.
* To increase public awareness in the Nordic countries of development in
the arctic world and of arctic research.
* To co-operate and communicate with the public and private sectors in the
Nordic countries, local and indigenous people, and with institutions and
organizations interested in arctic matters and development.
* The first symposium was held in the Copenhagen area in 1992.
Subsequent-year symposiums have been arranged in Northern Jutland
