Truly transdisciplinary approaches are needed to tackle the complex problems that the Arctic is
facing at the moment. Collaboration between Indigenous rights holders and researchers through
co-creative research approaches can result in high-quality research outcomes, but crucially also
address colonial legacies and power imbalances, enhance mutual trust, and respect the rights of
Indigenous Peoples. However, to be successful, collaborative research projects have specific
requirements regarding research designs, timeframes, and dissemination of results, which often do
not fit into the frameworks of academic calendars and funding guidelines. Funding agencies in
particular play an important role in enabling (or disabling) meaningful collaboration between
Indigenous rights holders and researchers. There is an urgent need to re-think existing
funding-structures. This article will propose a new paradigm for the financing of Arctic research,
which centres around the inclusion of Indigenous partners, researchers, and institutions from the
initial planning stages of funding programmes to the final stages of research projects. These
findings and recommendations have been contextualized based on critical reflections of the
co-authors, a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners, who have practiced their own
collaborative work process, the challenges encountered, and lessons learned.
