Joint UK-Canada call offers rare opportunity to work with Inuit communities hit by climate change
Top tips
- Co-creation is a watchword for this scheme; applicants must be open to being led by Inuit partners where appropriate.
- Impact—on Inuit communities and UK-Canadian understanding of environmental change—will be a key assessment criterion.
- Applicants should demonstrate an openness to working with new partners.
- Make sure the project is integrated rather than a series of stand-alone sections.
