Land use, indigenous rights, and the application of national and international law were key issues discussed at a Nordic seminar at Luleå University of Technology.
The Nordic Network of Researchers in Sami and Indigenous Peoples Law (NORSIL) has now launched its first activity within the newly funded project period 2025–2027.From 19–20 November 2025, the network gathered at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, for a two-day seminar focusing on the theme “Transnational Comparison and Learning – Current Cases, Legal Reforms, Strategies/Policies, and Research Findings”.
During the seminar, participants explored key issues related to land use, indigenous rights, and the application of national and international law across Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The event marked the starting point for renewed collaboration, knowledge exchange, and comparative legal perspectives within the Nordic region.The continuation of NORSIL for 2025–2027 is funded by the Nordic Joint Committee for Agriculture and Food Research (NKJ) through the Nordic Reindeer Committee, enabling strengthened cooperation among researchers to benefit reindeer husbandry in the Nordic region.
A representative from our Secretariat participated in the seminar, contributing to discussions and engaging with the network’s ongoing and future work.
