The conference will be held on 25–27 January 2023, Romsa/Tromsø, Norway
About
There is an increasing awareness of, and need for, ethical and responsible handling of Indigenous knowledge and data. The general FAIR Guiding Principles for Scientific Data Management and Stewardship were published in 2016 and seek to make research data more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
Connected to the global network, the GIDA-Sápmi network was founded in June 2021 with members from various universities, memory institutions, and archives in Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The objectives of GIDA-Sápmi include 1) to promote, adapt, and operationalise the CARE principles to the Nordic Sámi context; 2) to make the Nordic research community, memory and archival institutions aware of the Indigenous CARE principles; and 3) to advance the discussion on Sámi data governance principles.
