You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.202.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:04, 17 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''University of the Arctic''' ('''UArctic''') is an international cooperative network based in the [[Circumpolar Arctic]] region, consisting of [[universities]], [[colleges]], and other organizations with an interest in promoting education and research in the [[Arctic]] region.

UArctic was launched on June 12, 2001, endorsed by the [[Arctic Council]] and in conjunction with the tenth anniversary of the [[Rovaniemi Process]] and the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.uarctic.org/singleArticle.aspx?m=75&amid=80 | title=Milestones in UArctic History | publisher=University of the Arctic | access-date=January 8, 2012 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016084349/http://www.uarctic.org/singleArticle.aspx?m=75&amid=80 | archive-date=October 16, 2013 ))</ref>

Most UArctic members are higher education institutions, but other members include circumpolar indigenous organizations and research institutions.

==Organization, governance, and administration==
The University of the Arctic is governed by a structure in which the member institutions are represented through various mechanisms. It has evolved steadily since the organization's founding in 2001, with the latest addition being the Rectors' Forum (2006).

===Council and Toyon===
The foundation of the structure is the annual ''UArctic Council'', which consists of representatives from all member institutions. It holds powers roughly corresponding to the [[parliament]] of a [[parliamentary democracy]]. Between Council meetings, the executive committee, ''Toyon'', deals with relevant issues. Toyon consists of the chair, the Vice-secretary and the Chairs of all standing committees. All these positions are elected by the council.

===Board of Governors===
The "[[government]]" of UArctic is the ''Board of Governors'', which is also elected by the council. At the Board meetings, the President and leader of the International Secretariat also participate.  The Board works with the Council and Administration on relevant issues, and may delegate specific tasks.

===President===
The President of UArctic is the organization's chief executive officer and is responsible for overall administration and the development and delivery of its programs. S/he is accountable to the Board for the overall management of the university and elected by the council. The President participates ex officio in meetings of the council, Toyon and the Board, and may form committees or other subsidiary bodies to carry out the programs and activities of the university.

===International Secretariat===
The Secretariat has the primary responsibility for coordinating internal and external information, examples of which are the monthly UArctic newsletter, Shared Voices, the website and news services. The Secretariat provides support for the rest of the UArctic structure.

===Rectors' Forum===
The Rectors' Forum brings together university and college presidents, rectors, provosts, chancellors and vice-presidents around specific themes. The Forum is reserved for institutional leadership and is not intended as a representative forum for members—the Council of UArctic serves that function—but rather it allows member institutions' top leaders meet to debate the activity of the organization.

===Funding===
The member organizations contribute resources to the University of the Arctic. Some of the countries with participating organizations, including Canada, Finland and Norway, provide funds for the university and its different programs, though the Federal Government of Canada decided in 2011 to cut its funding by 75 percent.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.uarctic.org/genprl07_LFhJ6.pdf.file | title=Kansainvälinen Arktinen yliopisto juhlii avajaisia 12. kesäkuuta | publisher=University of the Arctic | date=June 6, 2006 | format=PDF | language=fi | trans-title=The International University of the Arctic celebrates its launch June 12 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016084435/http://www.uarctic.org/genprl07_LFhJ6.pdf.file | archive-date=October 16, 2013 ))</ref><ref>((cite news | title=Feds cut funding to University of the Arctic | url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/story/2011/10/18/north-uarctic-cuts.html | newspaper=[[CBC News]] | location=Canada | date=October 18, 2011 ))</ref>  A small membership fee is also collected from member organizations.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.uarctic.org/SingleArticle.aspx?m=770&amid=8554 | title=UArctic Membership Fee | publisher=University of the Arctic | access-date=January 8, 2012 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210091230/http://www.uarctic.org/SingleArticle.aspx?m=770&amid=8554 | archive-date=February 10, 2012 ))</ref>

==Programs==

===Bachelor of Circumpolar Studies===
The Circumpolar Studies program allows students attending University of the Arctic member institutions to learn about the North, with courses held in the classroom, online, outdoors, and around the world.

The Circumpolar Studies program gives students the opportunity to learn about the lands, peoples, and issues of the circumpolar world and prepares them for advanced study or professional employment in fields such as sustainable resource management, self-government, Arctic engineering, and northern tourism. Special emphasis is given to matters concerning Indigenous people of the Circumpolar North.

The Circumpolar Studies program consists of two required components: The BCS Core and an Advanced Emphasis.

The BCS Core consists of one lower-level introductory course and six upper-level advanced courses in three interdisciplinary fields of study. Advanced Emphases are programs of study, roughly equivalent to a semester of schooling, that focus on the advanced research of an area, issue, or problem of particular relevance to the North and for its people.

===north2north===
The north2north student exchange program provides opportunities for students from UArctic member institutions to experience different northern regions firsthand, and to share experiences face-to-face by allowing students to study at other UArctic institutions.

As a north2north participant, students travel to another circumpolar institution for a period of 3–12 months. This time period is dependent on the needs of the student, as well as the structures of their home and host institutions. Students have the advantage of taking courses that may not be available at their home institution and the courses taken during the exchange year are credited towards their degree. Successful applicants will receive a mobility grant to facilitate their stay at the host institution.

===Field School===

The UArctic Field School incorporates a selection of short, thematically focused courses that provide training for young researchers at member institutions in relevant fields. The Field School provides specialized onsite study of northern issues, organized by northern institutions. The UArctic Field School catalog is an online database of field excursion courses in which students from UArctic member institutions can participate.

==Calotte Academy==

The Calotte Academy is a school of dialogue and a network that concretises every year in the form of a traveling symposium through the Arctic.
