Abstract
In the context of circumpolar international cooperation within the framework of the Joint Innovative Research Agenda, for the development of a systems approach, it is important to use the resources of existing platforms for multi-level mutually beneficial cooperation. The Council of Barents/Euro-Arctic Region and the University of the Arctic are unique examples of interaction and cooperation between the regions of the Arctic states. The Northern Dimension policy is also an important platform for such cooperation between Russia, the European Union, Iceland and Norway. Cross-border cooperation is integral to international relations, which stimulates the sustainable development of regions, creates growth points for innovative projects, and is focused on the evolution of international economic relationship. Universities and research institutes, as holders of expertise, and centers for studying good world practices and transferring excellence, occupy leading positions in the development of advanced ecosystems and the use of complex technologies, the training of highly qualified personnel for the Arctic, the creating of end-to-end digital technologies, the transforming of priority sectors of the states’ economies, and in the social sphere. This article discusses international project activities as one of the most effective tools contributing to the development of these issues. The authors provide examples of successful practices aimed at solving common challenges in the Arctic region, and conclude that “Arctic fever”, and the intensification of Arctic scientific partnerships through programs to support the introduction of technologies and innovations and the advancement of scientific stations in the Arctic, directly affect the development of local territories, give impetus to economic progress, and create new models of cooperation.
Highlights
Arctic Scientific Cooperation, signed at the Fairbanks Ministerial meeting on 11 May 2017.This has been ratified by all eight Arctic countries (USA, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia)
The attention being paid to international projects is due to their key characteristics, such as their focus on a specific result achieved over a certain period of time using attracted grant funding, as well as partnership and cooperation, innovation, and interculturality
Based on the results of the research carried out in collaboration with foreign scientists, eight scientific articles were prepared and published. This program became one of 15 projects selected for participation in the international exhibition “Innovations across Borders”, demonstrating the potential of international projects and their contributions to business development in the Barents Region (Oulu, 21–25 September 2020), along with the EU cross-border cooperation programs “Kolarctic” and “Karelia”, and the Russian programs “Interreg. Baltic Sea
Summary
Arctic Scientific Cooperation, signed at the Fairbanks Ministerial meeting on 11 May 2017. According to the priorities of the Strategy for Developing the Russian Arctic Zone until 2035, the Joint Innovative Research Agenda considers the following measures as trends in international cooperation in science, innovations and technologies, aiming at increasing activities for conducting fundamental and applied scientific research in the interests of Arctic development:. International projects are recognized as one of the most effective forms of strengthening international (Arctic) scientific cooperation, and are a tool for integration into the global space They hold significant potential for the development of new, and the support of existing, technologies that will help in the development of regions through a network of multi-level cooperation (international, cross-country, national, regional, municipal levels) as well as multi-actor cooperation (scientific community, business, government, nonprofit organizations, etc.). Among the priorities of the Russian Chairmanship is promoting international scientific cooperation [4]
