The OHM-I « Nunavik » is the 8th Observatory Network OHM. It is part of Labex « Device Interdisciplinary Research on Men-Media Interaction » (DRIIHM) that drives the whole device.

The Ecology and Environment Institute of the CNRS (INEE) and the Nordic Studies Centre (CEN, Quebec) jointly established the Observatory Men-Media International (OHM-I) in Nunavik, which works on all the territory of Nunavik (northern part of Quebec).

The studied structural fact is established by climate, ecological, social and cultural of the Arctic and the will of the resident communities to master their development and take over the management of their resources and their territories.

The founding event consists of the cumulative impacts of global change (climate, economic, social), and in particular, the launch in 2011 of a vast Northern Economic Development program.
