The Árdna Award
UiT and The Centre for Sami Studies award a price for the best master’s thesis of the year on Indigenous issues. The Árdna Award is given to the candidate who, during the running academic year, has written the best master’s thesis on issues related to Indigenous peoples and Indigenous peoples’ situation. The prize comes with NOK 10 000.
The award will contribute to promoting interest in and visibility of Sami and indigenous issues in master’s programmes at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. The award is presented to the student who, during an academic year, has written the best master's thesis on a topic related to Indigenous peoples, submitted at any of UiT's master's programmes. The award should serve as an inspiration and contribute to the candidates' further professional development in the field.
Departments and units at UiT are hereby invited to nominate candidates for the price. Read the announcement here.
Nominations of up to one page should be sent on e-mail to postmottak@sami.uit.no by 15 July 2020.
