Arctic Technology Centre, Artek, was formally established in late summer 2000 to teach and provide in-service training for Greenlandic and Danish students and businessmen in Arctic technology. Artek also runs courses and seminars about Arctic conditions and contributes to research into Arctic technology. As a forerunner to the centre, various courses have been held about Arctic conditions over the last couple of years.
The Arctic Technology Centre is a collaboration between Sanaartornermik Ilinniarfik (the Building and Construction School) in Sisimiut and the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby.
In financial terms, Arctic Technology Centre is considered a DTU department with all the ensuing potential sources of revenue dependent on the number of students. The funding comes from the Greenland Government and from private foundations.
