Greenland
Greenland is an ideal training ground for students to experience the convergence of science, policy and indigenous issues of the North. Thanks to the Dickey Center for International Understanding and its Institute of Arctic Studies, Dartmouth has academic, research, and cultural ties with Greenlandic institutions and Inuit leaders who support the field training of IGERT students.
Two important collaborators with the Dartmouth IGERT are the University of Greenland (locally called Ilisimatusarfik) and the Inuit Circumpolar Council. The University of Greenland is an important academic partner, helping IGERT students understand the scientific, social, and political issues of the North. The university is located in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on the west coast. The Inuit Circumpolar Council Greenland is a non-governmental organization that represents 150,000 Inuit people worldwide. The President of ICC-Greenland, Aqqaluk Lynge, has been a Dartmouth Dickey Center Fellow and an invaluable advisor to the IGERT program.
