    Arctic Yearbook is now launched

    Lassi Heininen and Heather Exner-Pirot present the Arctic Yearbook 2013 during the Arctic Circle.

    On Saturday, 12th of October 2013, The Arctic Yearbook 2013 has been spectacularly launched during the Arctic Circle.

    The Yearbook, which is this year devoted to how the Arctic of Regions meets the Globalized Arctic, examines the nature of this historic crossroads from different angles.

    It thus contributes in significant ways to the most important transformation the Arctic has ever encountered, demonstrating how science and scholarly dialogue are, and must be, guiding principles of Arctic cooperation and introduce our new partners to an important tradition, the foundation of successful Arctic cooperation.

    The Arctic Yearbook has been the outcome of international cooperation between Northern Research Forum and University of the Arctic.

    The Arctic Yearbook is available under limited copyright protection agreement. The publication is available for download, distribution or photocopy.

    The Arctic Services marketing initiative was launched in Akureyri, Iceland on Friday. It is a “cooperative platform between companies and institutions in the north of Iceland to promote the region´s infrastructure and service capabilities, in view of the growing mining and exploration activities in the arctic region and the increased demand for professional services at our latitude.”

    The main objective of Arctic Services is “to promote the high service level and infrastructure available for those involved in exploration, oil search and mining in the Arctic region.”

    Over 30 partners cooperate in the project. They range from the local port and hospital, aviation, banking, wholesalers, contractors, food suppliers, partners from the metal industry, shipping industry and consultancy on Arctic issues in Arctic Portal.

    The Minister for Industries and Innovation, Mr. Steingrímur J. Sigfússon, addressed the reception and launched the programme formally.

    He welcomed the initiative and promised support for the project.
