Commission for Scientific Investigations in Greenland information


The Commission for Scientific Investigations in Greenland (Danish: Kommissionen for Videnskabelige undersøgelser i Grønland - KVUG - Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaanni Ilisimatusarneq Pillugu Isumalioqatigiissitamut) is a Danish-Greenlandic commission coordinating research in Greenland, which has existed since 1878. It serves an advisory function to both the Danish Minister for Science and the Greenland home rule. The commission consists of active researchers from the disciplines of humanities, social science and technical and natural science with equal representation of the two countries and the chair alternating between them. The commission funds research projects, particularly in order to initialize new research. The commission published the journal Meddelelser om Grønland - since 1975 issued as three separate monograph series:

  • MoG Geoscience
  • MoG Bioscience
  • MoG Man & Society
