Utviklingsarbeid

Employing a decolonial approach inspired by critical museology and Indigenous studies, LIT aims to initiate a visual restitution/rematriation process fostering attention to Sámi people’s experiences during colonial encounters, and to illuminate individual life-stories of women and children photographed by Italian anthropologists Mantegazza and Sommier between 1879 and 1886. It wishes to generate dialogical knowledge of unpublished visual/written materials, enabling Sámi communities of interest to gain access to these scholars’ photographs. In complex socio-historical Indigenous/settler contexts such as Sápmi (the Sámi homeland), Sámi people’s control over their own heritage has proved essential to processes of cultural and ethnopolitical self-determination. Part of the Sámi visual heritage consists of photographs taken - often through mild violence and coercion - by academics engaged in physical anthropological practices involving Sámi individuals of all ages and genders. The resulting academic and divulgative publications circulated in Europe for decades, shaping and reinforcing stereotypes of Sámi peoples and cultures. Photos taken in colonial encounters by late-19th/early-20th century scholars to visualize Sámi people’s supposed biological-cultural inferiority (until a few decades ago inaccessible to the Sámi) have become important means of decolonization and empowerment through art and activism. The visual restitution of such photographs is of the utmost importance not only from a cultural heritage perspective but is also considered by Sámi institutions and individuals as an urgent necessity. LIT proposes an innovative approach based on the co-construction of knowledge and with a gender dimension. I shall reconstruct life stories of women and children photographed by Italian ethnologists, locating their descendants and returning their photographs to their communities. LIT would benefit my career, making me a leading researcher in Sami Studies and museology.

Locating Intergenerational Ties, rematriating late-19th-century unpublished photographs of Sámi Women and Children

I det globale nord fremstilles ofte ressursutvinning som "grønne" og klimavennlige prosjekter, mens de faktisk opprettholder de koloniale forhold mellom stater og urfolk. Et eksempel er "grønn gruvedrift" i Sápmi, der metaller for litium-ion-batterier utvinnes. Industriinteressene bruker klimaendring som argument og posisjonerer seg selv som forkjempere for det grønne skiftet. Dette er bakgrunnen for forskningsprosjektet GREENGROWTH, som skal analysere betydningen av "grønne" prosjekter for samisk politikk og handlingsrom. De samiske områdene står overfor to store utfordringer: et økende behov for mineraler og energi for å opprettholde livsstil og industriell vekst, og et stadig økende behov for å håndtere klimaendringer. Vi skal belyse hvordan samiske aktører og interesser kommer til orde og får innflytelse i debatten om miljøvern, "grønn" industri og urfolkspolitikk, historisk og i dag. Vi undersøker hvordan nærings- og økonomiske og samiske interessenter (stakeholders) plasserer seg i debatten om grønn vekst. Prosjektet tar for seg politikk og kommersialisering av naturen, og ser på hvordan klimaendringer påvirker samiske aktører og interesser i det offentlige rommet. Den offentlige debatten om samiske spørsmål er fragmentert, og en av prosjektets arbeidspakker utforsker hvordan samiske interessenter representeres gjennom nyhets- og sosiale medier. Prosjektet belyser samisk motstand mot fornybare prosjekter og utfordrer stereotypier ved å se på samenes dobbeltrolle som både ofre for arealbeslag og økologisk bevisste aktører. GREENGROWTH undersøker gruveindustriens historie, styring og rolle i opprettholdelsen av koloniale diskurser og strukturer, og tar for seg både historiske og samtidige aspekter ved samiske medier og debatten om det grønne skiftet. Prosjektet søker å forstå de komplekse virkningene på urfolkssamfunn og bidrar til en dypere analyse av spenningsforholdene mellom samiske interesser, grønn industri og miljøvernere.

GREENGROWTH will study and compare the positions the Sámi actors and stakeholders occupy and are attributed in the public debate on the Green transition and Green mining. How are the stakeholder groups formed and how are the Sámi stakes and interests weighted by other actors in the debate? The debate studied is concerned with growth-driven Green projects, of which the Green transition is the most recent example. The Sámi actors are analysed as interest-, rights- and stakeholders by utilizing stakeholder theory, settler colonial theorizing, discourse analysis and frame analysis. GREENGROWTH focuses on Sámi framings and responses in this debate. The interdisciplinary, international, multicultural and multilingual research group consists of senior and mid-career scholars with expertise on Sámi and Indigenous issues representing communication sciences, economic history and environmental history. The project will contribute to a deeper understanding of the Sámi political space under swift transformation in conditions of Green transition and the encroachments of resource extraction. Work package 1 is project administration; Work Package 2 will study the key Sámi organizations, the Sámi Parliaments in Finland and Norway, the frames articulated in their social media accounts, and the Sámi news media’s role and framings in the public debate on Green growth. WP3 will analyse the longer history of cooperation between the Sámi and the environmentalist movement, and the effects on the Sámi of being immersed in environmental discourses, with a special focus on the ideologies and projects of Green growth and nature conservation in Finland and in Norway. WP4will study the conduct of mining companies and financial imperialism in the Nordic north by charting the history of the transformation in mining adopting an environmental ideological foundation. WP5 draws together and concludes on the central findings of GREENGROWTH.

GREENGROWTH - Green growth and Sami Stakeholders. Public debate on Green resource extraction in Sápmi

I en verden der klimaendringer er en betydelig bekymring, blir begrepet biokulturell arv en kilde til håp. Denne tilnærmingen erkjenner den nære forbindelsen mellom menneskelige kulturer og den naturlige verden, og gir verdifull informasjon om å overvinne utfordringene på en raskt skiftende planet.
Arktis-regionen påvirkes spesielt av klimaendringer og opplever alarmerende nivåer av oppvarming. Innenfor dette isete landskapet ligger travle bysentre som Fairbanks, Nome, Kirkenes og Tromsø, der virkningene av klimaendringer blir akutt følt. Men mot bakgrunnen av disse problemene, gir den rike mangfoldet av biokulturell arv en reserve av motstandskraft.
Biokulturell arv er basert på tradisjonell økologisk kunnskap (TEK) som er overlevert fra generasjon til generasjon av urbefolkningssamfunn. Denne kunnskapen inkluderer en rikdom av visdom, fra sporing av dyremigrasjoner til å forutsi værmønstre, og gir uvurderlige retningslinjer for tilpasning i møte med miljøsjokk.
Forskere, kunstnere, aktivister og samfunnsmedlemmer samarbeider for å utnytte kraften i biokulturell arv. Gjennom etnografisk feltarbeid, kunstnerisk uttrykk og samfunnsengasjement kombinerer de tradisjonell visdom og moderne vitenskap for å skape innovative løsninger basert på lokal kunnskap.
Prosjektet har som mål å styrke lokale samfunns stemmer og utvikle partnerskap mellom forskere, beslutningstakere og grasrotorganisasjoner. Dette vil være en katalysator for meningsfylt endring både lokalt og globalt.
Avslutningsvis gir biokulturell arv en tidløs visdom som kan hjelpe oss med å oppnå motstandskraft mot klimaendringer. Ved å ære og bevare denne uvurderlige arven, kan vi legge veien for en mer bærekraftig fremtid for kommende generasjoner.

The project focuses on the relationship between climate change and biocultural heritage, a holistic concept that emphasizes the interdependence of natural and cultural elements. The primary objective of the project is to understand how traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and Indigenous knowledge, and human-environment relationships that form the core of biocultural heritage can contribute to climate change adaptation in urban areas and surrounding landscapes. TEK and biocultural heritage have been critical resources for climate adaptation for future Arctic residents. However, climate change processes threaten cultural and biological diversity, underscoring the urgency for adaptation and mitigation measures, especially in the Arctic, which is changing four times faster than the rest of the world. The project will focus on case studies of Arctic cities, including Fairbanks and Nome in the USA and Kirkenes and Tromsø in Norway, and their associated subsistence landscapes that transform even faster. The project team, consisting of social and natural scientists, artists, and activists, will use quantitative and qualitative methods of climate science, remote sensing, human geography, and social anthropology to explore the potential of traditional knowledge and local land use practices as holistic and culturally sensitive tools for climate adaptation. By integrating scientific data with Indigenous long-term observations and artistic explorations, the team hopes to create publicly accessible, co-produced, and place-specific arts and science products. The project's results will be published in academic articles, disseminated via online media, and presented in art and science exhibitions. The main research question of the project is, "How can biocultural heritage integrated into urban and natural landscapes contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts?"

Biocultural Heritage in Arctic Cities: Resource for Climate Adaptation?

Mye av litteraturen om urfolks representasjon handler urfolks egne organisasjoner eller organer. I prosjektet IMPART forsker vi derimot på hvordan urfolk søker å påvirke politikken gjennom majoritetsfolkets politiske partier: Vi ser på hvordan samer er – eller ikke er – inkludert i Norge og Sverige sine riksdekkende politiske partier.

Norge og Sverige regnes gjerne som to ganske like land, men i dette tilfellet finner vi altså ganske store forskjeller. Hva består de av? Hvorfor har ulikheter mellom de to landene oppstått når det kommer til samers inklusjon i politiske partier? Og hva kan forklare ulikhetene mellom ulike partier i samme land? Hvordan påvirker de ulike forholdene mellom partier og samiske aktivister i Norge og Sverige, forholdet mellom sameting og stat? 

Når IMPARTs forskere søker forklaringer på dette kartlegger vi politiske strukturer i samtidspolitikken via intervjuer og dokumentstudier, vi ser på den historiske utviklinga av forholdet mellom samene og de ulike partiene og landene, og vi ser hen til internasjonal forskning på urfolksrepresentasjon og partipolitikk.

IMPART ser også spesifikt på hvordan urfolks inklusjon eller mangel på sådan forholder seg til ulike partiers politikk hva angår «det grønne skiftet». Vår samtids politiske debatt preges av store konflikter rundt interessemotsetninga mellom på den ene siden urfolks tradisjonsnæringer og naturvern - på den andre siden industriutbygging som er innretta mot å produsere mer klimavennlig energi. Har partier med sterk inklusjon av urfolk en «grønt skifte»-politikk som i større grad tar hensyn til partiets urfolk sine standpunkter? Eller er urfolksinklusjonen symbolsk, og har ingen effekt på politikken? IMPART studerer ulike partier i begge land for å komme til bunns i dette.

IMPART studies Indigenous interest representation through majority-based political parties, with a specific focus on how this phenomenon affects parties' policies regarding disputes between "green" industry development vs. protection of natural resources that are fundamental for traditional Indigenous economic activities.

How do Indigenous political activists attempt, and to what extent are they successful in, influencing the majority-based parties that control the state when it comes to "green shift" policy? Why do some parties create Indigenous representation mechanisms, while others do not? What different models and practices have been created for Indigenous interest representation in parties, and what political outcomes do these differences have?

IMPART compares two of the states that have partitioned Sápmi and the Sámi people: Norway and Sweden. These two states have similar models for Indigenous representation - elected Indigenous assemblies, Sámediggis. Yet, when it comes to the relationship between the Indigenous people and the majority-based parties, Norway and Sweden display prominent differences. Such differences are also displayed between different parties within the same country. Hence, the two cases provide interesting ground for comparative research.

The project draws on and contributes to, two bodies of academic literature: 1) Indigenous representation, and 2)
party organizations. It takes existing theory on Indigenous representation, and on the representation of traditionally marginalized social groups in political parties, and seeks to further develop theory through structured comparison of parties and countries.

IMPART has a three-part structure that involves: (1) Data collection; (2) Analysis of the Sámi representation structures and practices of Norwegian and Swedish parties, and their origins; (3) Analysis of consequences for parties' "green shift" policies and state-Sámediggi relations regarding the "green shift".

dialoguing@rts – Advancing Cultural Literacy for Social Inclusion through Dialogical Arts Education

d@rts is a catalyst for increasing social cohesion and inclusion, using embodied performing arts activities to develop cognitive and affective cultural literacy. We recognise that the performing arts encompass mass-market consumer goods, as well as non-linguistic, embodied and social activities, providing massive opportunities for inclusive participation.
Our target groups comprise actors of all ages and social positions, especially in the school system and in community arts initiatives. We will empower these groups to be artistically active, dialogically related and culturally literate, giving them tools and motivation to improve their own situations and those of others within the overall frame of a cohesive European society, informed by global perspectives.
Using the post-colonial insight that culture is necessarily heterogeneous, d@rts has four related objectives:
1. Understand how performing arts activities relate to cultural literacy in official discourse and documents across partner countries
2. Use this understanding to build dialogues and co-create physical and digital actions with heterogeneous groups within our target audience
3. Develop assessment tools for these actions, enabling measurable growth in cultural literacy
4. Use our findings in recommendations for cultural and educational policies that build long-term social cohesion and inclusion
Based on these objectives, the overall outputs comprise:
1. Documentary, survey and participatory research findings
2. Performative DIALOGART actions for cultural literacy
3. Policy and practice recommendations to increase social cohesion via cultural literacy actions inspired by the performing arts
d@rts imagines new futures and creates hope and social cohesion through performing arts education. By creating participatory spaces and facilitating dialogues, we empower voices seldom heard. d@rts thus advances cultural literacy, and enhances social cohesion and resilience, to build an inclusive future for Europe.

Den vedvarende smitteoverføringen av prioner som gir skrantesjuke (CWD) fortsetter å true overlevelsen til hjorteviltpopulasjoner i Nord-Amerika, og deres usikre zoonotiske potensiale vekker bekymring for folkehelsen.
Siden det første tilfellet av CWD hos norsk villrein og elg i 2016, er sykdommen funnet i flere norske regioner og nordiske land. Samarbeidet vårt med nøkkelpartnere i dette prosjektet har ledet til identifiseringen av flere CWD-stammer hos norsk rein, elg og hjort. Av spesiell betydning er disse stammene ikke relatert til de som for tiden finnes i Nord-Amerika. Disse funnene har klare implikasjoner for den fremtidige forvaltningen av disse europeiske skrantesjuke prioner hos hjortedyr.
Med konsortiets brede og komplementære kompetanse og ekspertise, vil dette ambisiøse prosjektet kombinere dyreforsøk i reinsdyr- og gnageremodeller, i tillegg til in vitro-eksperimenter med de nyeste og sensitive teknologiene (RT-QuIC, PMCA) og en potensiell feltanvendbar test, Minnesota-QuiC-testen (MN-QuiC).
Potensialet til CWD-stammer for spredning blant hjortevilt og for å infisere nye dyrearter, inkludert mennesker, avhenger i hovedsak av to hovedfaktorer: nivået av EKSPONERING for CWD-smitte og mottageligheten til de EKSPONERTE ARTENE for de forskjellige CWD-stammene. EmergingCWD tar sikte på å adressere begge sider av dette problemet. Det vil gi en ny forståelse av hvordan de fremvoksende CWD-prionene identifisert i Norge kan spre seg både innenfor og mellom vertsarter.
Siden prioner er forskjellige fra de fleste kjente smittestoffer som virus og bakterier, er kunnskapsmangelen om smitteevne og overføringsmekanismer fortsatt stor. Gitt de mulige dramatiske konsekvensene av prionrelatert sykdom, vil dette prosjektet representere et avgjørende innspill for å tette dette kunnskapsgapet av relevans for både Norge og det internasjonale vitenskapsmiljøet.

The inexorable contagious transmission of chronic wasting disease (CWD) prions continues to threaten the survival of cervid populations in North America, and their uncertain zoonotic potential raises concerns for public health. 
Since the first case of CWD in Norwegian reindeer and moose in 2016, the disease is found in several Norwegian regions and Nordic countries. Our recent collaborations with key partners in this proposal have identified multiple CWD strains in Norwegian reindeer, moose and red deer. Of particular importance, these strains are unrelated to those currently sustaining the North American epidemic. These findings have clear implications for the future management of these emerging European prions. 
With the strong and complementary skills and expertise of the consortium and the unprecedented resources it represents, this ambitious project will combine live animal experiments in reindeer and mice models, in addition to in vitro experiments with the most recent and sensitive technologies (RT-QuIC, PMCA) and a potential field-deployable test,  the Minnesota-QuiC test (MN-QuiC).
The potential of CWD strains for spreading among cervids and for infecting new animal species, including humans, essentially depends on two main factors: the level of EXPOSURE to CWD infectivity and the intrinsic SUSCEPTIBILITY of the EXPOSED SPECIES to the different CWD strains. EmergingCWD aims at addressing both sides of this issue. It will provide a new understanding of how the emerging CWD prions identified in Norway can spread both within and between host species. 
Being different from most known infectious agents like viruses and bacteria, knowledge about prions, their infectiousness, and their transmission mechanisms continues to lag behind. Given the possible dramatic consequences of prion-related disease, this project will represent a decisive input to close this knowledge gap of relevance to both Norway and the international scientific community.

Chronic wasting disease  prions from Norwegian cervids: Assessing the pathogenesis, shedding, spillover and zoonotic potential

Over hele verden forsvinner urfolksspråk. Ettervirkningene av hard assimilasjonspolitikk har ført til at mange urfolksspråk er i ferd med å bli borte. Nå ønsker mange å ta tilbake disse språkene, ikke bare I Sápmi, men også andre steder i verden. Det ser ut til at kjennskap til og bruk av urfolksspråk bidrar til kulturell, sosial og individuell resiliens, og i dette prosjektet undersøker vi hvilke faktorer som styrker resiliens hos språkinnlærere og språkbrukere og som kan fremme eller hindre bruk av urfolksspråk. 

Skolesystemet er ofte en sentral arena for revitalisering av urfolksspråk, men vi trenger å vite mer om hva som skjer etter fullført skolegang. Målet for prosjektet er derfor å undersøke hvorfor og på hvilke måter noen går fra å lære et språk i skolesystemet til å bli aktive språkbrukere. Vi tar utgangspunkt i samiske forhold og sammenligner dette med tre andre kontekster for å identifisere og undersøke viktige livshendelser som kan føre til denne overgangen. Det å ta tilbake sitt språk kan være en motsetningsfylt prosess, så vi skal også undersøke hvordan språkbrukerne forsøker å løse slike motsetninger og se på hvordan samspillet mellom ulike sosiale faktorer påvirker språklig resiliens. En mer inngående forståelse av overgangen fra språkinnlærer til språkbruker kan bidra med ny kunnskap til skolebaserte revitaliseringsprosjekt og har også overføringsverdi til språklæring i andre sammenhenger.

Across the world Indigenous and minority languages are disappearing at a rapid rate. Long-reaching effects of harsh assimilation policies, as well as effects of internalized stigma and shame among individuals, have led to significant language endangerment in many parts of the world. As a response to this loss there is a process of revitalisation and reclamation of languages in a range of geographical and cultural contexts. Indigenous language use itself seems to contribute to cultural, community and individual resilience, and in this project, we explore what supports the resilience of language learners and speakers. Through a comparative analysis of Sápmi and 3 additional cases, we will identify factors that promote or hinder use of Indigenous languages and investigate how individuals transition from learners to speakers. Using multimodal and participatory narrative research methods, we will explore how individuals experience this process, and drawing on nexus analysis approaches we will examine how environmental factors across scales impact this transition.  When reclaiming an Indigenous minority language, speakers find themselves in a space of tensions and possibilities as they may feel empowered while also facing internalized hurts from the past; hence, Indigenous language learning and Indigenous multilingualism are characterized by challenges that second and foreign language speakers do not face, and which have not been sufficiently addressed in language acquisition scholarship. There is a need for more knowledge about such complexities of language reclamation processes, how learners and communities may be resilient in the face of these challenges and how they attempt to resolve these inherent tensions. A deeper understanding of the transition from learner to speaker will shed light on language learning in general (including second language acquisition and multilingualism) and has the potential to inform school-based revitalisation programmes and policies.

Indigenous language resilience: From learners to speakers

Dette prosjektet utforsker varekjedene til tre ikoniske kulturarv artefakter i Arktis: reinsdyrgevir, det koniske teltet (lavvu) og elfenben fra mammut og hvalross. Vi vil spore muntlige historier og nye markedsmessige og sosiale koblinger med disse gjenstandene på tvers av flere steder i Sápmi, Canada og Grønland, og knytte dem til historiske leveveier for pastorale- og jegeresamfunn, og deres transformasjon over tid. De siste årene har hver gjenstand fått en ny mening innenfor kulturarv- og reiselivsnæringene: 1) reinsdyrgevir som tradisjonell kinesisk medisin; 2) det koniske teltet som et turistobjekt; 3) og produkter av elfenben som suvenirer De formidler dermed en bredere historie om arktisk kulturarv og forholdet mellom urfolksprodusenter, forbrukere og markedet. Våre mål er å forske på transformasjonen av gjenstandene og hvordan de blir til kulturobjekter, og deres bevegelse på tvers av nasjonale og internasjonale varekjeder.

This is a project to explore the commodity chains of three iconic heritage artefacts in the Arctic: reindeer
antler, the conical tent, and mammoth and walrus ivory. The project will trace the oral histories and new
market and social entanglements of these artefacts across several sites in Sápmi, Canada, and Greenland,
linking them to historical pastoralist and hunting lifeways and their transformation over time. In recent years,
each artefact has taken a new form within the heritage and tourism industries: 1) reindeer antler as Traditional
Chinese Medicine; 2) the conical tent as a fixed tourism dwelling; 3) and ivory as souvenir carvings. They thus
tell a wider story of Arctic heritage and the relationship between indigenous producers, consumers, and the
market. Our objectives are to research the transformation of the artefacts into heritage objects and their
movement across national and international commodity chains. We will follow their material and symbolic
journeys through historical and emergent networks of harvesting, production, commercialisation, and
consumption. We will use ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and zooarchaeological analysis to
investigate ancient and contemporary trade. We hypothesise a gap between the commercialisation of the
artefacts and their non-utilitarian value in terms of skills, communities of practice, and experience-based
knowledge. We anticipate this to feed into debates about tradition, ecological sustainability, and cultural loss,
as well as renewed calls for cultural protection, revitalisation, and legislation. The project will thus tackle
questions surrounding the ethics of heritage and ethnic tourism, the viability and sustainability of craft
production, so-called ‘heritage-isation’ of indigenous culture, and the cultural politics of heritage in the
context of the Arctic. We will publish several works including interdisciplinary publications, an edited volume,
and organise three museum exhibitions.

ArcHeritage: Commodification, Identity, and Revitalisation in the Anthropocene

Fjellet og tundraen er eksponert for raske klimaendringer, som er en alvorlig trussel for det biologiske mangfoldet i EU. Økende fragmentering av tundrabiomet, endring i samspillet mellom artene og invasjon av skolevende arter er noen av effektene. Menneskelig aktiviteter og utbygging i fjellet forsterker både fragmenteringen og modifiseringen av artssammensetningen i de alpine og arktiske tundraøkosystemene i Norge, Sverige og Finland. 

Mange fjell- og tundraarter forekommer derfor i stadig mer oppsplittede bestander. Dette gjør dem  mer sårbare for utryddelse, som for eksempel fjellreven på fastlandet. Fjellreven er klassifisert som en flaggskipart for klimaendringer av IUCN og er en prioritert art i EUs habitatdirektiv. På 2000-tallet var fjellreven på randen av utryddelse i Fennoskandia, da var det trolig bare 50 voksne individer. Som svar på omfattende bevaringstiltak har bestanden kommet seg og den teller nå ca 500 individer. 

Forekomst av sammenhengende fjell- og tundralandskap er viktig for å sikre levedyktige bestander av de karakteristiske fjellartene i framtiden. Prosjektet ARCTIC FOX EUROPE skal identifisere områder der fjell og tundra er forventet å bestå, og vurdere effektene av ulike forvaltningstiltak som kan bidra til å øke levedyktigheten til fjellreven spesielt. Kartprojeksjoner skal forutsi hvordan utformingen av tundrabiomet vil endre seg som følge av framtidig klimaendringer og videre legge til menneskelig aktivitet og arealbruk for å vurdere de samlede effektene, samt vurdere betydningen av forekomster av større rovdyr og tetthet i lokale reinbestander. 

Forvaltningsorganer og ulike interessenter er invitert til å involvere seg i prosjektet for å identifisere og utforske nye og alternative forvaltningsløsninger, med tanke på å finne de mest effektive tiltakene som kan bidra til å sikre fjellreven en framtid i Fennoskandia, gitt de fremtidige endringene fjell- og tundraarter står ovenfor.

Within the European Union, the Fennoscandian Arctic-alpine tundra is the biome exposed to the fastest climate change - causing a severe threat to tundra biodiversity through fragmentation, changes in the trophic dynamics and invasion of boreal species. Furthermore, human activities  and land use increasingly impact the tundra in Fennoscandia. Many tundra species therefore occur in a fragmented distribution across habitat patches (metapopulation structure), rendering them more vulnerable with an elevated extinction risk. To maintain contact between habitat fragments, dispersal is a key process for securing viable populations for the future. 

The Arctic fox is classified as a climate change flagship species by the IUCN and is a priority species according to the EC Habitat Directive. The Fennoscandian Arctic fox was on the verge of extinction around the year 2000, with only 50 adult individuals remaining in a highly fragmented distribution. In response to efficient conservation actions, the population has however recovered to ca 500 individuals. 

ARCTIC FOX EUROPE will develop a metapopulation model to identify priority areas and management actions that increase viability of the Arctic fox metapopulation under scenarios of climate change and other human pressures. The model will be informed with data including Arctic fox population dynamics (demography, dispersal and genetics), trophic dynamics, and conservation actions over the last two decades in Fennoscandia. GIS projections will be used to forecast how the spatial structure of the tundra will change under future climate change. Management agencies and stakeholders in Norway, Sweden and Finland will be involved in ARCTIC FOX EUROPE to develop a Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) framework.

EU’s ambitious targets in their “Waste management”-Directive set pressure on municipalities to reduce amount of household waste through improved waste management. “Pay-as-you-throw” schemes for charging waste producers based on the actual amount of generated waste, are suggested as incentives to achieve implementation. Therefore it is imperative that it exists systems in the market that can register the amount of waste in small household waste bins. 
Most municipalities have no systems for monitoring waste filling level in small household waste bins. The technology used by a few municipalities, is weighing the waste when hooked on the garbage truck, but the method is unreliable, costly and cause a lot of hassle.  
Monitoring the fill levels of small waste bins in real-time with a filling level sensor offers a less expensive and reliable solution compared to weighing to optimize collection routes, reduce fuel consumption and minimize emissions. The high cost of filling level sensors for use in large waste containers has been a hindrance for developing low-cost sensors and systems for small waste bins that are affordable for municipalities with limited budgets. This results in continuation of manual waste collection schedules, resulting in wasted resources and inefficient operations.
The SmartWasteTag project aims at developing an affordable, ruggedized and low energy consuming VCSL TOF laser sensor for mounting inside small waste bins lids. A Bluetooth gateway installed on the garbage truck register signals from the sensor in the bins when emptied and further sends signals to larger IT systems in the cloud that register filling level. The project involves developing the sensor, the Bluetooth gateway with connected 5G/GPS module and the SW module for communicating with municipalities’ existing IT systems. A realistic sensor price of €30 and the ultimate opportunity of equipping 100 Mn small waste bins in EU with sensors, will form a market opportunity of €3 Bn.

Accelerating the transition towards decarbonization is essential to tackle global warming. Electric vehicles (EVs) have an enormous influence in the electricity and transport sectors, but high penetration of these technologies will challenge power grids due to the increase in electricity demand by EV’s. Many technologies contribute to grid flexibility – e.g. electrical energy storage (EES).
Energy suppliers and users experience increased costs of €65Bn pa. due to unstable grid. Current Eco’s SpotMe IT solutions monitor and control the intersection points between electrical grid and variable loads. As a palpable result of SpotMe, a transportable rapid charging system with ESS will supply quick charging units to EV users while energy suppliers will benefit from Grid Peak Shift and Reduced Grid Strain. 
Otaski Energy Solutions has developed the INtuitIV Digital Lamppost (IDL) - a smart lamppost capable of hosting streetlights, EV chargers and sensors. Retrofitting street lampposts with V2G/X charging technology has been shown to lead to rapid deployment of EV chargers. However, existing technologies for lamppost V2G/X charging technologies fall short in terms of complexity and sub-optimal energy management. 
We will design and develop a V2X bi-directional MIMO DC/DC Converter (HW) and expand the existing V2G/X business models. We will also develop novel software for controlling the converter. Combined this will give a SW and HW solution that increases grid reliability, resilience and stability. The initial application will be on smart lampposts/street lighting network to deliver variable load adjustment such as slow-to-fast EV charge, energy storage and load management. 
Our estimates show 600,000 lamp post sales leading to an anticipated turnover over 5 years of € 1,8 Bn (20% growth pa), incl. additional revenues in maintenance and asset management. Market reports shows a market potential for the combined solution in the smart energy market of 65 Bn € annually.

Development of an innovative Bi-Directional MIMO DC/DC Converter for Smart Lampposts, EV Charging and V2G/X Infrastructures

Agriculture is the sector most affected by the climate change and is extremely vulnerable. Higher temperatures reduce crop yields which will threaten global food security. Climate-smart agriculture will help to ensure food security and boost productivity. Focus on developing innovations will decrease the environmental impact on farming, and the key will be good management practices. 
Our project secures that monitoring farmers’ soils will enable them to take correct measures for maximizing yields. However, a study (2021) shows that only 4% of the surveyed farmers have equipment to evaluate essential soil parameters. Cost is apparently not the most important obstacle, but rather access to solutions that are easy to use and with practical data collection, processing and data transfer. Over 80% of the farmers want to purchase monitoring equipment that would enable optimizing their cultivation technology. 
An extensive SoA study shows that the current market cannot offer solutions that meet farmers’ expectations and neither any complete systems where farmers can get full overview over their soil quality and also get unique advice for corrective measures.   
The SenSoilQ project aims at developing a novel and durable easy-to-use Soil Monitoring System enabling farmers to monitor and improve their soil quality.  The system will consist of a hardware (HW) and software (SW) part. The HW part consists of two earth rods and a “Smart Sensor Hub” (SSH) that will contain air monitoring sensors and a GNSS positioning module. One earth rod developed by this project will have sensors for monitoring CO2, CH4 and NO3 in soil on 3 different depths. Another commercially provided earth rod will monitor soil humidity, temperature and pH.  The earth rods will through the SSH unit send data to SoilEssentials advanced KORE platform where they will be treated and result in concrete reports and action plans that are presented to farmers’ mobile devices through 7Sense’s existing SW system.

A Novel Soil Monitoring System securing Soil Quality for farmers utilizing advanced sensors

The global construction industry experience large costs due to material handling problems. More than 90% of all large construction projects overspend budgets; mainly due to logistic failures. 
Our project concerns logistics issues with prefabricated concrete elements and include manufacture, storage, transportation and mounting.  Today Logistic Systems are used with manual reading of labels attached outside concrete elements; both paper labels with text or bar-codes and RFID tags. This involves low reliability; also due to that attached labels often are lost.  
Automated logistic systems are today enabled through powerful IT systems, and they give large benefits as real-time access to data, reduction of mistakes and improved customer service.   
No-one have today implemented an automated system based on RFID ID Tags embedded and protected inside concrete elements to follow the elements seamlessly through the logistic process from production to mounting. It neither exists any system where unique production information of each building element is stored inside ensuring that unique production details for each element is available for investigations if any failures later happen. 
The PreFabTag project aims at developing a passive UHF Tag for embedment into precast concrete elements. The Tag communicate through a reader with an automated logistic system to secure efficient supply of concrete elements to projects. The Tag contain an innovative designed antenna to enable sufficient signal strength to penetrate the concrete and be registered at a RFID reader placed more than 2 meters from the concrete surface when the Tag is embedded minimum 5 cm under the concrete surface. The project involves both developing the UHF Tag, the system to read the tags and an interface that feed signals into a logistic system to be used by all co-operating project partners. PreFabTags will also be loaded with production information and stay with the element for its full lifetime.

A reliable, innovative UHF ID Tag & Logistics System securing efficient supply of concrete elements

Today many serious companies in the fish farming industry equip fish in their fish cages with a tag for counting & control and also for improved fish health. The method involves injecting a Tag into the fish and monitor the fish population with RFID technology. Each Tag contains an antenna and a chip surrounded by a sealing material -usually glass in oblong shape. 
The monitoring technology is mostly based on a LF (low frequency) technology from 1984 and in lack of alternatives it is still used. Many tenth of million fish tags are sold every year globally, and the monitoring is also used for control of wild fish in rivers and the ocean. Also pets as cats and dogs are marked for recognition through information kept in the tags. The LF technology is however sensitive to EMD (Electro Magnetic Disturbance) from various equipment that operates on the same frequency (125 kHz) influencing the reading accuracy and this problem also is relevant for reading Tags in pets. LF also has low security due to lack of collision avoidance properties that not guarantee registration of all unique tags. 
The SmartXTag project aims at developing an innovative UHF based technology that utilize the PC C1G2 UHF standard also for use under water. The project involves developing a new UHF tag and the necessary communicating monitoring system and demonstrate it to the sector. The new tag and system will enable collision avoidance securing registration of all unique tags, give increased read range and flexibility to enable supervising large fish cages with many antennas. The fish farming industry has been restrictive to allow massive use of glass tags in fish for food safety reason (broken glass contaminating the fish meat), so use of another tag encapsulating material is welcomed.
The fish tags will be designed for mass production and enable reduction of the tag prices significantly. This will speed up market introduction significantly.

IDEAS has for several years been involved in developing ASICs and other components for embedment and integration in thermal imaging products and equipment as sensors.  Infrared imaging cameras and sensors are today used across a wide spectre of industrial sectors and applications such as automotive, thermography, security, surveillance, industry and many other sectors.  

In 2017 more than 800 000 units of infrared cameras based on microbolometers were sold (90% in the civil sector).  The applications vary - especially regarding the resolution and related costs. Even though low-resolution detectors have had a steep sales growth the last years with applications in Smart Buildings and Internet of Things (IoT), these sensors will be exposed to high price erosion of >5% annually due to high competition. High resolution sensors (VGA) have civilian use in e.g. the security, surveillance, high-end thermography and automotive sectors have however lower price erosion.  
The SPEKTIR project aims at integrating IDEAS’ CMOS part of a microbolometer array with FhG IMS’ microbolometer creating a compact, low cost microbolometer with 12 µm pixel pitch, and also to complete the process with FhG IMS’ wafer scale vacuum packaging. The project will also be focused around pilot manufacturing, demonstrations and systems validations. This will result in in a MEMS based miniaturized Image Sensor ready for integration into camera cores and OEM modules. Applications will be in the thermography, automotive and security/surveillance market. 
According to a new market research report on the "Thermal Imaging Market” the market is expected to be worth $ 4.0 Bn by 2023 with 1,5 Mn unites sold. The market growth has been steep with a high CAGR (14%) for uncooled technologies. Reduction in the price of thermal imaging products, the increasing adoption of thermal imaging in perimeter security and penetration in machine vision applications are driving the growth of this market.

Hundreds of millions of patients get annually Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) globally (WHO, 2009), leading to high mortality and financial losses for health systems and countries. Global cost data are far higher than $100 Bn. Healthcare workers’ (HCWs’) hands are the most common vehicle to cause HAI. Low compliance with hand hygiene standards amongst HCW (38,7%, WHO) lead to transmission of pathogens and HAI.  
Occupational Hand Eczema (OHE) is mainly caused by hand hygiene procedures leading to sickness absence and reduced QoL for HCWs. The most prevalent type is “Irritant Contact Eczema” (ICE) often found on HCW’s hands (prevalence up to 55%) and which origins from e.g. alcohol in ABHR (Alcohol-Based Hand Rub) which is the prevalent product (98%) in hospitals/healthcare institutions and that risk for getting OHE and reduced QoL.

Offshore wind power has the last decade experienced growth from a marginal industry to a major renewable energy source with today 3,600 offshore wind turbines installed across 81 offshore wind-farm sites in Europe. Falling capital costs (CAPEX) increase focus on the long term operational and maintenance (O&M) costs. Many turbines operate outside their original warranty period putting the maintenance costs on the wind farm operator rather than the turbine manufacturer. 
Turbine blades represent a large proportion (22% of the overall turbine cost. Today there is no means of direct inspection of the internal structure of turbine blades. The worldwide failure rate for all wind turbine blades is annually ca. 0.5% accounting for 3,800 annual failures. Lack of inspection data hinder the effectiveness of analytics.
The RADBLAD 3 project address O&M costs of offshore wind turbines and demonstrate the large impact of robotics to in-field wind turbine blade inspection. A robotic platform will be developed and demonstrated for enabling the process of blade structural inspection. The robot will climb the tower with an extendable arm with the X-Ray Radiography system to inspect the turbine blades.  This will enable imaging of the internal structure of the blade to investigate damage and defects. Trials will demonstrate the robotic platform in realistic conditions, and will introduce a new, complementary flow of data and analysis to current methodology. 

TECHNI AS is a Norwegian leading R&D consultancy with 36 employees with special focus on mechatronics, control and automation. Their strategy involves robotics in maintenance operations as well as enabling improvements in monitoring, collecting data and use data simulation and machine learning.  
The RadBlad project will include WPs involving data collection and analysis system, the portable X-ray imaging system HW and SW, manufacture and integration of enhanced system components and performance assessment of the RADBLAD system.

Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a multifactorial, chronical eye disease that cause ocular surface inflammation and impact activities as reading, computer use and driving. The World Health Organization (WHO) has addressed eye health issues (2018), and acknowledged DED as a condition that have painful symptoms with substantial effect on general and health-related quality of life (QoL). The prevalence of DED in Europe (up to 30%) escalate with the ageing population and new lifestyles. Female gender and older age increase the risk. DED is a cost for patients, the health care system and society. In Europe costs to society is €78 Bn a year. Horizon 2020 recognizes DED as a priority for funding, and European Dry Eye Network (EDEN) was funded through a Marie-Curie action (2014). There is today no cure for DED.   
Biozep AS is an innovative Norwegian biopharmaceutical company developing safe and effective drugs for patients with chronic eye diseases; such as DED. They have identified a lead compound, BIZ-101, based on its effects documented by convincing in vitro data. Their first prototype product, “BioZurface” contains BIZ-101 outperforms one of the global leading products Ikervis® in an animal model of DED and also has faster onset action. 
Biozep’s approach is to carry out preclinical and Phase I/IIa studies and work with pharmaceutical partners to navigate the regulatory process through to market approval. Clinical studies will start in 2020 followed by market launch in 2025 by their target customers - pharmaceutical companies in the field of ophthalmology.
The DryEyeCure project will include WPs as Optimization of Product Formulation, Production of API, Production of IMP, Non Clinical Safety Studies and Preparations & Phase 1 Clinical Trial. 
The ophthalmic drug market is currently $27 Bn (CAGR 5.5%) and the DED market alone is forecasted to reach $ 6.2 Bn by 2030. The preliminary sales estimates is min. €970 Mn sale of BioZurface in 2030.
