Team Saepmie aims to establish an inclusive and interdisciplinary research network for Sámi topics at NTNU. We want to encourage interdisciplinary initiatives and joint research applications in response to the lack of representation of Sámi topics. We will organize seminars, workshops, and various networking activities to strengthen NTNU’s role in reconciliation and contribute to meeting the expectations the Sámi community has for research and education at NTNU.

We invite you to become a member of Team Saepmie. There are two ways to participate, and your level of involvement can be changed later:

1. Active team member: Your name will be listed on the Team Saepmie website under TSO Community. We expect participation in events and a short description of your research interests in our Teams space. 
2. Interested: You will join the Teams space but will not be listed on the website. You may upload a description of your research interests if you wish.

Our first event will be a workshop on September 29, 2025. We will be visited by Torjer Olsen, head of the Centre for Sámi Studies at UiT. He has over 20 years of experience in Sámi research and will share insights on research, collaboration, and the university’s role in reconciliation processes.

Please get in touch if you are interested in joining the network or learning more about what we do.
