We would like to invite you to be part of our study to investigate perspectives on the current development of economic activities in the Arctic e.g. fish farming, forestry, mining, tourism, and indigenous people’s activities such as reindeer herding, fishing and, hunting. This study is part of the Arctichubs project (see: https://projects.luke.fi/arctichubs/ ) being implemented in 6 different European Arctic countries such as Finland, Norway, Faroe Island, Iceland, Greenland and Sweden.

To participate, you’ll need to complete an online survey where you’ll rank and sort statements based on your own subjective perception from completely agree (+4) to completely disagree (-4). There are no correct and wrong answers. YOUR POINT OF VIEW about the current development of economic activities in the Arctic is the most important. The study will determine opinion types which will make viewpoints across different parts of the Arctic and industries comparable.

The survey will take 30-45 minutes to complete. Your responses will be kept in strict confidentiality and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679.
