Russian and Norwegian youth gather in Tromsø for research
Pupils and students from different schools in Murmansk gather this week in Tromsø to participate in a research camp organised by Tromsø kommune in association with the University of Tromsø.
The students and the pupils took part in a presentation by the faculty of computer science at the University seeing their technology wall and trying Segways. The youth were very enthusiastic and excited.
The research camp is the first activity in the project “young researchers in the Barents region”, a project lead by Kristoffer Svendsen at Tromsø kommune.
The aim of the project is to create a collaboration between pupils, teachers, students and teacher educators in Troms and Murmansk County through the concept of “young researchers”.
“Young researchers in the Barents region” is a project which is to facilitate research on each other, with each other and in community with each other. The main goal is a Barents Finale in Tromsø in January 2013 with participants from Norway, Russia, Finland and Sweden.
