The Arctic Technology Centre, commonly called Artek, was formally established in late summer 2000 to teach and provide in-service training for Greenlandic and Danish students and businessmen in Arctic technology. Artek also runs courses and seminars about Arctic conditions and contributes to research into Arctic technology. As a forerunner to the centre, various courses have been held about Arctic conditions over the last couple of years. 2000 (MM) was a leap year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In financial terms, Arctic Technology Centre is considered a DTU department with all the ensuing potential sources of revenue dependent on the number of students (the valueadded scheme). During the start-up phase, other grants will be made available by the Greenland Parliament and the Danish Ministry of Research and Education. The set-up phase – especially equipment and refurbishment expenses - will cost approximately DKK 14 million, DKK 6 million in Greenland and DKK 8 million at DTU. The funding will come from the Greenland Government and from private foundations.
The Arctic Council is a high-level intergovernmental forum that provides a mechanism to address the common concerns and challenges faced by the Arctic governments and the people of the Arctic.
