Utilization of natural resources over the border of Finland and Russia - perspectives of natural and social sciences

The research days focus on natural resources both in Finland and Russia.  Animals, rivers, vegetation types as well as mineral deposits run in both sides of the border, but the management and policies often change at border. What we can learn from the differences and similarities? What are impacts of the policies in both sides of the borders? How use of resources changes when crossing the border?  By raising these questions, we aim to inspire discussion on use and value of natural resources and challenge to find new perspectives on researching natural resources.

We welcome you to discuss on sustainable use of natural resources!
