to foster a scientific community within the N.W.T. which recognizes and uses the traditional knowledge of northern aboriginal peoples.
to make available scientific knowledge which is of value to the people of the N. W. T.
to support or do research which will contribute to the social, cultural and economic prosperity of the people of the N. W. T.
to licence and coordinate research in accordance with the Scientists Act.
to provide sound and humane advice on scientific matters to the Legislative Assembly and the general public.
to encourage young people to take an active interest in science.
