Information about report: International cooperation in the field of science and education

Cooperation in the field of Arctic research is now becoming increasingly relevant due to the fact that only a scientific understanding of the macroregion will allow it to be more effectively absorbed and not exhausted. A special emphasis on the development of scientific research and the provision of intellectual presence in the region is a fundamentally new attribute and key condition for the effectiveness of Arctic strategies as a new direction of the state policy of the Arctic countries. At the same time, the organization of scientific research should meet the difficulty and complexity of the tasks set for the development of the Arctic.

In 2017, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a draft agreement to strengthen international Arctic scientific cooperation. The purpose of the agreement is to strengthen cooperation in the field of scientific activities to improve the impact and effectiveness of the development of knowledge about the Arctic.

Issues for discussion:

• Development of international research and educational projects - increasing the mobility of students and researchers

• Expedition activity
• Cooperation in the field of climate change recommendations and its consequences
• Consolidation of resources of Arctic research communities
