The project aims at joint development of ‘The Barents Journal’ – an easy available international academic journal – as a tool for delivering current research results concerning the people and the region, as well as socio-economic, political, environmental developments, and thus providing information outside and within the programme area. The keynote idea of the project is to share and distribute topical research results and broaden understanding of the Barents region in the global, social, political and economic contexts.
