GoNorth har utviklet et omfattende vitenskapelig program, sentrert rundt 3 geovitenskapelige arbeidspakker; utviklingen av Svalbards nord-margin, havbunnsspredningsprosessene langs Gakkel-ryggen og omr氓dets klimahistorie. I tillegg er der arbeidspakker for teknologi, oseanografi og biologi.
GoNorth har forel酶pig ikke midler til forskning, men fikk i 2020 st酶tte fra 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 Kronprins Haakon in 2021.
The funding model has three elements; data gathering for various directorates, free research funds and industrial collaboration.
