What it is

Ready for an unforgettable experience? The Arctic Digital Nomads Grant gives you the chance to spend 1‒3 months working, creating, or simply living in one of our breathtaking communities: Geiranger, Norddal & Eidsdal (Norway); Þingeyri (Iceland); or Vágur (Faroe Islands). Accommodation and a workspace are fully covered.

Who it's for

Whether you’re a digital nomad, an artist, someone curious about remote life—or even considering a permanent move—this is for you.

We value people who want to connect: with nature, with other nomads, and with the local community. We especially welcome those who bring their skills and ideas to contribute.

What’s included

1–3 months of adventure: Office space and accommodation are fully covered, so you can focus on your work and experience.
A network of fellow explorers: Connect with other grantees in your cohort, share experiences, and build lasting community ties.
Engagement with local life: From hiking, skiing, and soaking in hot springs to enjoying local food and culture, you’ll dive deep into the everyday life of your chosen destination.
Organised trips and experiences: Join activities arranged by our local hosts to explore hidden gems and connect with the region.
A non-touristic perspective: Gain an authentic look into everyday life in remote Arctic communities, far from mass tourism.

We expect every participant to give something back to the community, in a way that fits their own skills, passions, and interests.

This can be as simple or as creative as you’d like—what matters is that you contribute in your own way.

Examples from past participants include:

Sharing your story on our socials
Teaching: share your (cooking, yoga, AI,..) skills
Helping locals with computer issues
Providing practical support at local events
Building an art installation for a festival
Providing new insights on one of our projects
Helping out as a handyman with small tasks

Do what you enjoy—your contribution will make a difference and enrich the community experience for everyone.
