ReCO plans further workshops in cooperation with the new established High North Academy at UiT, different faculties and the Communication Department, as well as international networks such as the University of the Arctic (UArctic), the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and Fram High North Research Centre for Climate and the Environment (Fram Centre). We apply for funding from all possible sources - locally, nationally and internationally.

ReCO Media Lab
ReCO organised funding to buy a second set of editing and camera equipment in the course of 2011. A temporary editing room in Naturfagbygget is sponsored by the Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics. Since ReCO is expanding, we aim to move to a bigger and more central place at UiT Campus. We need also more equipment in order to arrange workshops. The ReCO Board is promoting and discussing the idea of a Media Lab with the UiT management and the faculties.
ReCO Networking
We have had several meetings in fall 2011 where we invited speakers to present their film or outreach projects. More ReCO meetings are in planning.
