Since 1991, the NUNAMED conferences have been arranged approximately every third year in Nuuk with 200-250 participants, mainly from Greenland and Denmark. In 2003 NUNAMED was organized as part of the ICCH12 congress with participants from the whole Arctic area and from the Scandinavian countries. Since 2003 the number of participants coming from other countries than Greenland and Denmark has increased.
The aims of the NUNAMED conferences are: To present current research results related to health in Greenland. To debate current research questions related to health in Greenland across the health disciplines. To improve collaboration on health research in Greenland between the health disciplines and between health districts.
