GoNorth has developed an extensive scientific program, centred around 3 work packages; the development of Svalbard's northern margin, seafloor spreding along the Gakkel-ridge, and the area's climate history. In addition there are work packages for technology, oceanography and biology.
GoNorth does not currently have funding for research, but in 2020 received support from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries; Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Education and Research for planning three expeditions in the Arctic Ocean, the first with Crown Prince Haakon in 2021.
The funding model has three elements; data gathering for various directorates, free research funds and industrial collaboration.
GoNorth is led by Gunnar Sand, SINTEF, and from the Geophysics Research Grouop; GEO, 黑料吃瓜资源, participants include (who is part of GoNorth's management team), and . is 黑料吃瓜资源's representative in the management team.
