Analysis & reports
This is the home for Sport Office’s own analyses, studies and fact sheets about Greenlandic sport. Each publication will have a brief summary and a PDF to read and download.
Our first publications are in development
No Sport Office analyses have been published here yet. New publications will be added when complete and ready for release.
Readers must be able to assess the evidence
Our publications must show what their conclusions are based on. Each publication will identify its sources, method, author, date, funding and relevant interests. We distinguish documented findings, assessments and proposals.
Commissioned client analysis is published only by specific agreement. Information from client projects does not automatically become content on the public knowledge portal.
