Research and Development

Since the early 1990s a broad cooperation has taken place between Norwegian and Russian research and educational institutions.
The Norwegian government annually allocate substantial funding as well for enhancing Norwegian knowledge about the giant neighbor.
Research cooperation regarding fisheries, oil & gas exploration, transport and logistics, safety and environmental issues in the Russian and Norwegian High North are constantly developed.
Russian students are today the largest foreign student group in Norway, and at Norwegian universities both in the Norwegian High North and in the South of Norway you can meet Russian employees, students and hear the Russian language spoken.
However, what can we expect in the future in a troublesome political climate? Will there be continued R &D cooperation, or are the heydays history? And what measures are the authorities in Norway initiating towards an increased number of Norwegian student to Russia. And are Russian universities climbing up on the international rankings? What are Russian authorities doing and what are the plans. Join the session and be updated.
