Consultations in the local communities form a large part of ILLUQ activities. In summer 2024, we visited Inuvik, Tuktoyaktuk, and Aklavik as part of the ILLUQ project’s outreach and collaboration efforts.

Between June 16-20, 2024 ILLUQ presented its upcoming activities at the ICOP2024 in Whitehorse, Canada.

ILLUQ is Horizon Europe funded permafrost project that studies the impacts of permafrost thaw to the health (human, animal and environmental), pollution and ecosystem services.

A big part of our research takes place in the Arctic in expeditions. Our researchers visit local communties in Western Greenland, Svalbard and in the Canadian Arctic.

The ILLUQ kick-off meeting took place between 11-15 March 2024 in the magnificent setting of the French Alps in Aussois.
