Organisation profile

The Centre for Arctic Studies at Roskilde University (CAS) focuses on developing a practice-oriented, interdisciplinary and engaged research that can play a key role in addressing challenges in the modern Greenlandic society as well as in other parts of the Arctic region. The centre prioritises synergies between research and educational development, as an extension of the ongoing collaboration on study structures and problem-oriented project work. CAS gathers and promotes RUC's research on Arctic conditions internally and profiles RUC externally. We do this by continuously developing relationships across the university and with relevant partners in the Arctic.

This is done by:

  • developing and visualising the research that is already taking place on the Arctic
  • supporting interdisciplinary research activities through network meetings, etc.
  • planning relevant conferences
  • develop bachelor's courses on the Arctic at RUC
