The Arctic University of Norway (Tromso) and the Murmansk Arctic State University received funding from the Barents Secretariat to create the Barents Regional Network on Higher Education.

The project aims to unite universities and create new forms of cooperation between them. As the Arctic climate and people’s everyday life are changing, it becomes crucial to create an expert network on Barents cooperation.

Another goal of the project is to create «best practices» in the fields of university teaching, exchange programmes, organisation of joint seminars, and other prospective joint projects, such as the organisation of international conferences and researches on the Barents Euro-Arctic Region.

Project partners: the Petrozavodsk State University, a branch of the Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg, and Lulea University of Technology.

The first event will be held in Kirkenes in the autumn 2020 and will include participation of the students and lecturers from MASU.
