The Aurora Research Institute is responsible for licensing and coordinating research in accordance with the NWT Scientists Act. We also promote communication between researchers and the people of the land, in which they work. Increasing public awareness of the importance of science, technology and indigenous knowledge is a key goal.

Aurora Research Institute is located in Inuvik and Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada. For contact information please see Contact Us.

We are currently working on 30 years of data that involves all research done in the NWT to date. This will serve as a back-end datasource for dynamic and interactive graphs, maps and search capabilities. We hope to have this deployed by early June 2005.
