The report shows that since the previous analysis, published in 2016, Arctic research has grown by approximately 22%. The study shows a strong continuous interest in the region across research disciplines. Indeed, interest has never faded, and with current geopolitical developments and the global ambition for a green transition of our socio-economic system, the role the Arctic in this transition is perhaps more relevant than ever.
"This report is an important contribution to Arctic research globally as well as a testimony to the strengthen collaboration between Umeå university and UArctic." "It is encouraging to observe the growth of Arctic Science within the fields of Social Sciences and Health over the long trend from 2005 even if the proportion of global science in each field seem to have stabilized," says Lars Kullerud, president of UArctic.
