Sharing dinner 9 April 2026

For our first sharing-dinner we have chosen the topic Research with Indigenous Peoples. Over the last decades we have seen an increase in decolonial practices in research and policies - at least in many parts of the Arctic - but at the same time we see that the rights and futures of many indigenous Peoples are under threat.

Aim of the sharing dinner

• Getting an overview of researchers within the university of Groningen that work with Indigenous communities and what their research is about
• Exploring possibilities for cooperation/joint grant proposals on certain themes for example SDGs and Indigenous Peoples or working with different knowledge systems

• Exploring possibilities for joint educational programmes for example a university broad minor on Indigenous affairs or a Summer school, Life Long Learning content

Set up of the sharing dinner

In an informal setting (no power point presentations), we will share food and food for thought. At the end of the meeting we can establish whether and how to continue cooperation(s).
