Narsaq International Research Station is an independent non-profit research platform with a focus on cultural and scientific research in South Greenland. The Research Station is located in a region of outstanding natural beauty and cultural heritage that is central for understanding some of the most urgent challenges the world is facing today.

Narsaq is a geographic region where many of the most important decisions currently facing Greenland are at their most visible and urgent. These are long-term decisions about sustainable development, independence, mining, environmental protection, democracy, infrastructure, cultural heritage, climate change and Greenland’s geopolitical role in the world. This confluence of globally important questions is the motivation for establishing Narsaq International Research Station.

The Research Station provides a platform for researchers, artists and organisations to learn from Greenland and its importance to the rest of the world.

The Research Station supports research across the sciences, humanities and the arts in collaboration with Greenlandic, Nordic, and international universities and cultural organisations.

The Research Station aims to contribute to the conservation and awareness of the invaluable natural and cultural heritage of the Narsaq region.

The research station will ensure that research taking place in South Greenland will benefit the local population.
