The project Exploring Public Space in Rural Transformation is supported by The joint committee for Nordic research councils in the humanities and social sciences (NOS-HS) and conducted by researchers from the University of Copenhagen (DK), Chalmers University of Technology (SE), The Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NO), and UiT The Arctic University of Norway (NO).
The involved researchers follow the fundamental principles of research integrity: reliability in ensuring the quality of research; honesty in developing, undertaking, reviewing, reporting, and communicating research in a transparent, fair, full, and unbiased way; respect for colleagues, participants, society, ecosystems, cultural heritage, and the environment; accountability for the research from conception to publication, and for its management and organization. We provide transparency about how to access or use our data and materials. We handle research subjects, be they human, cultural, environmental, or physical, with respect and care, and in accordance with legal and ethical provisions. We have due regard for the health, safety, and welfare of the community, collaborators, and others connected with our research.
