Development of an Environmental Platform for
the Northern
Calotte and Northwest Russia (BEP)
Project Website: http://barenvir.project.luth.se
The Barents Euro Arctic Region and especially the Northwest
Russia is extremely rich in natural resources but its ecosystem
is fragile. To find the balance between today and the future,
we need to cope with the existing environmental problems, and
provide information about the environmental situation for future
investors or companies wanting to make business with Russia.
A single body is not able to implement such a large scale program
in this northern area. But Luleå University of Technology, the
University of Oulu, the Polytechnic of Rovaniemi, Arkhangelsk
and Murmansk State Technical Universities and Kola Science Centre
operating as a strong cross-border co-operation network are
presently developing a platform of environmental knowledge to
aid sustainable development and socio-economic problems in North
West Russia.
In this environmental platform, a network of experts and a common
research program will be established, and the knowledge about
Russia increased. An interactive database of existing research
and collected data will be developed thus facilitating the designing
of new projects. Sustainable services to companies, industries,
future investors and authorities will be set up.
