Educational Cooperation in the Arctic Region: Research Experience
Abstract
The Arctic, as a transboundary region, implies different forms and directions of international cooperation. However, the growing international tension, increased international competition, and sometimes confrontation in the Arctic, leads to a blocking of interactions. The author of the article, adhering to the principles of respect, trust and cooperation, tries to analyze common interests in the least politicized areas. One of these areas is science and education. The article presents a comparative analysis of the priority areas of the Arctic strategies of the countries of the Arctic Council, on the basis of which the author identifies common interests in scientific and educational Arctic projects. The main actors of these projects are the university and the authorities. By comparing the strategic priorities for the development of the Arctic zone of Russia, the development strategy of the Arkhangelsk region and the development strategy of the Northern Arctic Federal University, the involvement of universities in solving regional problems and in international educational cooperation is revealed.
