Member Nations
The programme area covers parts of Sweden, Finland, Norway, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as well as all of the Faroes, Iceland, and Greenland. Much of the area sits north of the Arctic Circle, and includes some of the world's northernmost communities. The secretariat of the programme is located in Copenhagen
The Northern Periphery Programme provides the opportunity for organisations from the programme area to work together on joint projects concerning common issues and problems. As a result, this programme has compiled one of the most extensive stores of expertise related to living and working in the far North.
Unique minorities in this area include Inuit, Samis and Scottish and Irish Gaels.
