The University of New England has been named a partner in the Northern Periphery and the Arctic Programme (NPA) COVID-19 Response CORE Project, a first-of-its-kind collaboration with the intent of collating information learned from thematic projects within the NPA’s newly formed COVID-19 Response Group, of which UNE NORTH: The Institute for North Atlantic Studies is a part.
The COVID-19 CORE Project aims to increase understanding of the effects the novel coronavirus has had on NPA member regions; to support the response group’s thematic projects and to share and analyze data collected during their execution; and, ultimately, to create a report that will inform target groups, stakeholders, and, potentially, future NPA projects and the new NPA programme throughout 2021-2027.
