The Læra Institute intends to deliver the following resources and activities over its first few years of operation:

• Circumpolar Studies curriculum criteria: Detailed specification of content for a full Circumpolar Studies programme, including course syllabi and pedagogical best practice.
• Circumpolar Studies exemplar courses: An ‘off-the-shelf’ suite of Circumpolar Studies courses meeting the curriculum criteria above for UArctic members unable to develop Circumpolar Studies programmes independently.
• UArctic pedagogical standards: The curriculum criteria and exemplar courses described above will together provide common UArctic pedagogical standards for Circumpolar Studies program development.
• Faculty Workshop: A biannual workshop for faculty of UArctic members, to provide the opportunity to share Circumpolar Studies innovations, resources and best-practice, and to disseminate pedagogical research.
• Undergraduate symposium: A biannual conference for undergraduate students of UArctic members taking Circumpolar Studies courses.
• Website: A website featuring links for faculty and students to existing and newly developed Circumpolar Studies courses and programs, as well as to the Læra Institute’s curriculum criteria, exemplar courses and teaching resources.

The Læra Institute is very grateful to UiT The Arctic University of Norway, and the Norwegian Ministry for Education and Research, for initial funding for this work.
