Community development and democratisation

Society development and democratisation rely on inclusion of the entire population through education, work, involvement and a feeling of belonging. UiT will demonstrate its global engagement through e.g. collaboration with institutions of research and education in the South. UiT will develop cutting-edge knowledge on:

• The competence requirements of the welfare state, and high-quality vocational studies
• Societal and cultural changes stemming from globalisation and from technological, demographic, social, legal, and economic development
• The basis for collaboration and potential conflicts in the High North
• The promotion of culture and identity through research, dissemination and art
• Gender equality in the context of regional, national and global development
