The Government of the Northwest Territories and the University of Alberta have signed a research agreement that will run until March 31, 2035. The partnership is focused on research related to the future of the North, including AI, climate change, and social transformation. It establishes a framework that will ensure research activities are either Indigenous-led or co-developed with local communities. It will also bring new educational opportunities for Northern youth, such as expanded access to scholarships, remote learning programs, and on-the land training. NWT staff may be appointed as UAlberta adjunct faculty if they participate in graduate supervision, providing them with access to the university’s resources.
