13-15 May 2008 the official kick-off meetings were held. The aim of the meetings was to gather the N4C team and give an introduction to the northern part of Sweden and the Sámi peoples economic and cultural conditions. The reason for making an official work shop of the meeting was to present the team to official representatives for the two municipalities in Sweden (Gällivare and Jokkmokk) and to get press and other media coverage of the project.
The international team was officially welcomed by Professor Ewa Gunnarsson, LTU. Professor Gunnarsson emphasized the importance for a small university in the far north to be part of an international consortium.
