The Sámi Education Institute, located in the heart of the Sámi area, is a unique organisation with its functions centred in the municipality of Inari, Finland. The purpose of the Sámi Education Institute is to provide education mainly for the needs of the Sámi Area, to maintain and develop Sámi culture and nature-based occupations. The Sámi Education Institute can also conduct research and provide services, which support or are closely linked with the education.

The Sámi Education Institute is involved in large-scale international cooperation, which has a particular focus in promoting and developing projects involved in the traditional livelihoods of indigenous peoples of the Circumpolar North. Co-operation including the studies, education, culture, traditional livelihoods and research covers the Sámi area, but extends beyond it, into the world of indigenous peoples of the North. The Education Institute manages among others, the international "BEBO" -organization which promotes the languages and cultures of reindeer herding peoples in the Arctic.
