There are two different sub-areas within the programme, Aurora and Sápmi. You must choose in which sub-area the project will be run. All priorities and all specific objectives are valid for both sub-areas. The difference between the sub-areas is best described by the assessment procedure because there are a few extra selection criteria for Sápmi projects. All Sápmi projects must be needs-based and have a goal of strengthening the Sami community. This means that it does not necessarily have to be Sami applicants, but there must be a Sami anchoring/need that has resulted in an application.
Below you can find a list of the regions covered by the Programme. Some of the regions are covered by both sub-areas while some are only covered by either Aurora or Sápmi.
