Saepmie - NTNU Fellesskap
NTNU Fellesskap - Team Saepmie

Team Saepmie har som mål å etablere et inkluderende og tverrfaglig forskernettverk for samiske tema ved NTNU. Vi ønsker å stimulere til tverrfaglige initiativ og felles forskersøknader som svar for manglende representasjon av samiske tema. Vi vil arrangere seminar, workshops og ulike nettverksaktiviteter for å styrke NTNUs rolle i forsoningen og bidra til å oppfylle de forventninger det samiske samfunnet har til forskning og utdanning ved NTNU.
Vi inviterer til medlemskap i Team Saepmie. Det finnes to måter å delta på, og deltagelsen kan endres etter hvert:
- Aktivt teammedlem: Navn listes på nettsiden til Team Saepmie under TSO Fellesskap. Vi forventer deltagelse i arrangement og en kort beskrivelse av dine forskningsinteresser i vårt Teams-rom
- Interessent: Du blir med i Teams-rommet men ikke listet på nettsiden. Du kan laste opp en bekrivelse av dine forskningsinteresser om du vil.
Ta kontakt om du er interessert i å delta i nettverket eller lære mer om hva vi gjør.
