The Greenland Center for Health Research was inaugurated at a meeting in Nuuk of the Danish-Greenlandic Society for Circumpolar Health in October 2008. The aim of the Institute is to enhance cooperation between researchers from other countries and health professionals in Greenland, to further research cooperation within Greenland, and to facilitate the interaction of researchers from other countries with the Greenland community at large. The Center is active in teaching at all levels from classroom teaching of nursing students to supervision of PhD Students. In a longer perspective, the Center will work for the establishment of a data archive and archive of specimens collected in Greenland. The Center works to forge partnerships and networks between research institutes, independent scholars and students as well as health professionals in Greenland.
