8. Priority 1.
Economic and social
development

9. Low Volume Road Management
• The roads in the Barents region are of low volume, when compared
internationally. This is so especially on the project region of Barents
Low Volume Road Management – in Northwest Russia and
Lapland. It is challenging to combine some features like low number
of road users, of whom a considerably big proportion is heavy
vehicles, and long distances, with the requirement of good traffic
connections and economical road maintenance.
• The project will develop road maintenance on low volume roads. The
project will develop methods based on new innovating techniques
adapted to local conditions. The goal is to develop more cost-effective
methods and harmonize the principles and technologies of road
maintenance.

10. KITENPI
• The background of KITENPI project (KOLARCTIC IT Education,
Networking, Partnership and Innovation) is that the Nordic
countries experience low levels of student admission to ICT
education. On the other hand, a recent survey revealed that in 2-3
years the ICT industry in the region will need to employ 400 ICT
professionals. KITENPI will create a common pool of jobs and highly-
trained ICT professionals, facilitate innovation that increase industry
involvement in education and research, and search Infrastructure
improvements with an extended all-KOLARCTIC open IP network,
and ICT tools that make distance education and collaboration easy.

11. NEDA ORDYM
• NEDA ORDYM – project is being carried out in Lapland, Nenets
district and Komi republic. The latter, Komi, is not part of the Kolarctic
ENPI CBC programme region, the project has found other financing
for the Komi part of the project.
• The project will create, develop and market culture and package tour
services on ethnically, ethically and ecologically sustainable basis
from the regions’ indigenous peoples’ own perspective. It will develop
and test the product and organise tourism training in the Sámi region,
in Nenets district and Komi republic. The project is continuing from
the fairly good results of Argis-Njapoi-Raidu project financed by
Interreg III A North during the previous programme period.

12. BART
• BART is the acronym of the project name Public-private Partnership
in Barents Tourism. The administrations on the Barents region have
for years now worked on drawing up sector-specific development
strategies for the region.
• BART works with implementing the strategy for the tourism sector.
BART is a one-year project that prepares for ambitious activities in
the future.
• The project includes a large group of administrational and educational
institutions working with tourism on the whole programme region.

13. BCBU+
• BCBU+ (Barents Cross Border University) – project will develop
international, multidisciplinary educational programmes in master
degree education and integrate university masters degrees on the
programme region. This will be done in the fields of social work,
health and wellbeing, environmental engineering and information
systems.
• Numerous educational institutions from the whole programme region
are included in the project region.

14. Barents Logistics 2
• The project Barents Logistics 2 has been initiated as a response to
the growing needs of business and public organizations to advance
logistics knowledge, competencies and skills due to increasing
economic activity in energy production (oil and gas), mining, basic
industries, services, etc.
• The main goal of the project is to develop logistics competencies. It
will deepen educational co-operation between the universities and
educational institutions together with public and business
organizations in the Barents Region.
• The project is continuing the work done in the Interreg III A project
Barents Logistics.

15. Development and cultivation of local plant
resources in the Barents region
• Development and cultivation of local plant resources in the
Barents region wants to increase the utilization of the already
existing natural resources in the region.
• The project will focus on some species on the region and develop
their production for food and health purposes. Some of these species
are less studied (bilberry, angelica), and the project will have to focus
on studying the possibilities and characters of these species. The
project will also start seed production of some other species (timothy,
meadow fescue).

16. Priority 2.
Common challenges

17. Kolarctic Salmon
• The project Trilateral co-operation on our common resource, the
Atlantic Salmon in the Barents region, has got a shorter name,
Kolarctic Salmon.
• It aims at merging modern science with traditional salmon fishing
knowledge to create a future sustainable, long-term and knowledge-
based salmon management of the common Atlantic salmon stocks in
the Barents region.
• The project is being carried out on a large region that includes regions
from Nordland in the west of the programme region to Petchora
region in the northeast of the programme region.
• The project is, for a big part, a research project, that utilises the most
advanced tools of DNA analysis.
• Examples of outcomes are a gene map of the salmon stocks of
Barents region, knowledge about the development of different salmon
stocks and about how the different stocks migrate.

18. CEEPRA
• CEEPRA is the acronym of Collaboration Network on EuroArctic
Environmental Radiation Protection and Research. The central
radiation research institutions of Northern Europe co-operate in the
project. The aim of the project is a better preparedness for a nuclear
accident and risk of radiation on the area.
• The project will research the long-term impact of a nuclear accident
on the population, marine and terrestrial environment, reindeer
husbandry, nature product industries, tourism and other industries on
the area.
• The project will also map the present state of the environment by
investigating environmental samples from Lapland, Finnmark, Kola
Peninsula and the Barents Sea. The results will give information
about the transportation of radioactive substances and the
accumulation of them in the food chains in the Arctic.

19. CETIA
• Coastal environment, technology and innovation in the arctic -
CETIA aims to contribute to develop new approaches to monitor the
coastal environment.
• The project will seek e.g. new methods of investigating effects caused
by pollutants, of environmental monitoring also more generally, and
new technologies of bio-remediation.
• CETIA will produce a series of scientific reports and publications,
guidelines and recommendations for managers, and programs for
academic training.

20. Priority 3.
People to people cooperation
and identity building

21. The Northern Cross-Border Cultural Experts
• The Northern Cross-Border Cultural Experts – project aims at
increasing the interest towards the culture, language and educational
system of Russia.
• The project is organizing and carrying out student and teacher
exchange between Murmansk region and Lapland in the fields of
culture, education and business life. Russian students and teachers
also can get to know the working opportunities, the business life and
the education opportunities in Lapland.

22. Barents Cultural Co-production Network
• Barents Cultural Co-production Network – wants to enhance all
kinds of cultural co-operation, that has – according to many experts –
declined during a few last years.
• The project collects managers of cultural organizations, producers of
regional cultural institutions and project leaders into common forums.
The project lasts for one year, during which, in these forums, a
common road map will be drawn up about future cultural co-
production activities.

23. Kolarctic Sports and Recreational Activities
• Kolarctic Sports and Recreational Activities has as an overall
objective to increase the number of participants in sports and
recreational activities in Kemijärvi, Salla, Kandalaksha, Polarnye Zori
and Kirovsk areas.
• By e.g. increasing the usage, also the cross-border usage of sports,
recreational activity and tourism services in the areas and by its other
activities, the project will help the area gain a brand as a sports
activity area with many high quality services for sports & wellbeing.
• There will be more demand and motivation to develop these facilities
further, and this will create an upward spiral of development.

24. Mitä ENPI – ohjelman jälkeen?
• Euroopan Komission ulkorajaohjelmien asetusluonnokset
julkaistu joulukuussa 2011
• ENPI – ohjelmien jälkeen tulee ENI- ohjelmat
• Suomen ohjelmien rakenne ja määrä vielä avoimia
• Mitä Venäjä haluaa? Alueet/ keskushallinto?
• Mikä taho ohjelmia hallinnoi?
• Hallinto helpottuu – PRAG poistuu osittain
• Hallintomalli lähemmäs EAY –ohjelmien hallintoa
