Presentations by KarRC RAS President O.N. Bakhmet and Kolmas Karelia Director General A.B. Artemiev included proposals on how to promote multifarious cooperation between KarRC RAS and the Ruskeala Mining Park based on the agreement signed late in October last year. This Agreement envisages research into the park’s surface, underground and underwater spaces. During the discussions, the parties have preliminarily agreed that in autumn 2020 already Karelian Research Centre will come up with suggestions on a number of long-term multidisciplinary research areas dealing with climate effects on the stability of underground spaces, hydrological characteristics of the reservoir in the canyon, as well as propose the material to be exhibited in the park’s newly created cultural and information centre.
The parties have agreed to jointly apply for grants and competitions, to prepare joint scholarly and popular publications. One of the joint activities will be the international project “European Underground Laboratories” (EUL), starting next year, financed by the EU Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme with co-financing from the Russian Federation and Norway. The project is an extension of the international project BSUIN to be implemented under the specific objective 1.1. Research and innovation infrastructures. Apart from Russian partners – KarRC RAS, Kolmas Karelia company (Ruskeala Mining Park), V.G. Khlopin Radium Institute (St. Petersburg), the project partnership includes organizations from Finland, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

Scientists performing integrated monitoring of Ladoga Skerries NP ecosystems
A multidisciplinary expedition to the Ladoga Skerries National Park was performed by specialists from several subdivisions of KarRC RAS. The focus was on the park’s plants and animals. Scientists map the forest cover and its dynamics, identify rare species, and evaluate human impact on the natural ecosystems. The results can be used when planning economic and recreational activities in the protected area.

Aapa mires – a potential joint research interest for scientists from Karelia, Khabarovsk, China
Head of the Mire Ecosystems Laboratory at the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS Stanislav Kutenkov took part in the International Symposium on Conservation and Sustainable Development of Peatland Resources in the Chinese city of Changchun. The laboratory implements studies far beyond Karelia, including the Russian Far East, so there is potential for collaboration with Chinese scientists on comparative mire studies.
