The Norwegian Institute for Cultural Research (NIKU) is working on a research programme on World War II heritage, with a special focus on the northern and Arctic areas.

NIKU's High North department is based in Tromsø. We conduct research and deliver impact assessments on cultural heritage sites and landscapes, communities and indigenous populations in the High North.
Our research projects are related to cultural heritage monitoring, registration and documentation of traditional knowledge and cultural heritage.
We contribute with research that is relevant to cultural heritage management and social development.
We develop and use GIS-based methods for documentation and presentation of indigenous traditional knowledge and landscape use.
The office has extensive experience as a supplier of expert advice to private and public actors.
The Northern Area Department is located in the FRAM – Northern Area Center for Climate and Environmental Research Office, an association of 19 institutions that conduct interdisciplinary research collaboration.
