There is still time to submit nominations for the 2025 Frederik Paulsen Arctic Academic Action Award– the call closes on April 30. Please share this opportunity with your colleagues, networks, anyone you think might be interested!
About the Award
The Arctic Academic Action Award aims to further the development of new ideas that could contribute materially to preventing, mitigating, adapting, and reversing the effects of climate change in the Arctic. 100,000 euros of unrestricted funds are provided to the awardee to help facilitate the development of ideas and increase impact through outreach, engagement and communication.
Nominees should propose creative ideas that are action- and results-oriented and at an early stage of development. These ideas should nevertheless be grounded in academic research and scholarship, while also, where appropriate, giving due regard to the knowledge practices of Arctic residents, including Indigenous peoples. Nominations should describe an action that addresses the causes or impacts of climate change on the Arctic region. Ideas can be broad in scope, or geared toward local issues but could have results scalable to the entire Arctic region and potentially beyond. We are looking for bright new ideas from people/groups with a demonstrable drive to achieve change.
Nominations can come from individuals or small groups, including community groups and organizations. Both self-nominations and nominations from others on behalf of the idea are accepted. In addition to established experts, emerging and mid-career professionals, Indigenous knowledge holders, and teams with established relationships with Arctic and Indigenous peoples are encouraged to apply with ideas.
