It’s the time of the year when we eagerly await the results from the year’s (many) research proposals.

After receiving rejection after rejection, a permeating gloom was slowly taking its toll: not really a recipe for a wonderful Christmas!

But then some good news finally arrived yesterday!

Earlier this year an application for establishing a Nordic Centre of Excellence was submitted to Nordforsk.

The project, Reindeer Husbandry in a Globalizing North – resilience, adaptations and pathways for Actions (ReiGN), was one of four applications that got funded.

So the gloom has lifted and all is well!

I’ll be writing more about this project and all the collaborators later on, but for now you can read more about the work-package I’m leading up here.
