The program suggested here will also provide the option of choosing between different courses.

The courses are run in close collaboration between Aarhus University, Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, University of Manitoba and University of Greenland  in cooperation with UArctic Thematic Network: Health and Wellbeing in the Arctic.
