A new portal to the Barents region has been launched at:
http://www.barentsinfo.org

The portal contains general information about the region, photos, maps,
news, and articles giving an overview of different topics and links that
are arranged thematically.

One aim of the portal is to provide a forum where people, projects, and
organizations can share knowledge and pass on relevant Barents
information.

Barents Information Service is a Finnish, Norwegian, Russian, and
Swedish cooperation project to build a portal for the Barents region and
also increase general knowledge of the Barents region
internationally. The project is funded by the European Union Kolartic
Interreg program.

The project partners include:
Finland - Arctic Centre, Arts Council of Lapland
Norway - Barents Secretariat, Maximite, Norut IT
Russia - Murmansk State Technical University
