Huge thanks to my UiT-colleague and friend Torjer Olsen, leading the panel on Indigenous Rights in Research.

β€œCARE & FAIR: Opposing or Aligning Concerns?β€œ, Else Grete Broderstad continues on pondering research ethics, from SΓ‘mi perspective. One has to consider carefully, how to implement FAIR but also CARE esp. when dealing with indigenous cultures. #Munin2025 #ResearchEthics #VulnerableCommunities
