Dr. Bjorn Gunnarsson, rector at RES, was among the lecturers at the 6th International Summer School in Karelia 2009 in Russia.
The 6th International Summer School in Karelia 2009 (ISSK’09) took place in Petrozavodsk, Republic of Karelia in Russia, April 17 - 22 2009. As in prior years Dr. Bjorn Gunnarsson, rector at RES, was among the lecturers. The theme of the ISSK’09 was “Environmental Politics in the Eurasian North” and took place in the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences at the Petrozavodsk State University (PetruSU). Dr. Gunnarsson lectures were on “Climate Change Impacts on Energy Resources in Northern and Arctic Environments”.
ISSK’09 was a one week intensive course studying environmental politics of the Eurasian North in a comprehensive but interdisciplinary manner. By bringing together Nordic and Russian experts, students were provided with an overview of environmental politics and governance in the North.
Students actively participated during the lectures and workshops with experts to increase their understanding of various environmental policy issues in the North. Additionally, students had an opportunity to participate in a full-day excursion within Karelia.
ISSK is a great meeting-point for Russian and Nordic university students with focus on European, Russian and Northern studies. Since the initial Summer School in 2003 the ISSK’s goal has been to bring together 30 - 40 master’s degree students for one week at Petrozavodsk State University in Petrozavodsk, Russia, to further increase their knowledge of Nordic-Russian policies and cooperation, and promote dialog and discussion. Among the many prior study themes of ISSK are: Geopolitics; Security; Eurasia; Northern Cooperation; and Energy.
The Organizing Committee for the ISSK consists of representatives of all the partner institutions involved in the program. Dr. Lassi Heininen, University of Lapland, is the Director of ISSK.
The ISSK’09 was organized by Petrozavodsk State University (Russia); Aleksanteri Institute at the University of Helsinki, University of Joensuu, University of Lapland, and University of Tampere (all in Finland); and RES | the School for Renewable Energy Science (Iceland).
