Barents Arctic Network of Graduate  Schools

The Barents Arctic Network of Graduate Schools (BANG) brings together Ph.D. students and experienced senior scientists specialised in problematics of the Barents region, and representing various disciplines.

The main themes of BANG are

  • international cross-border transitional cooperation;
  • rapid social, economic, and cultural transforms;
  • resource development conflicts; and
  • environmental challenges.

BANG organises multidisciplinary scientific excursions in 2008 and 2010.  All the  activities  of the participating graduate schools are open for the Ph.D. students of the network  partners . BANG creates new continuous cooperation between multidisciplinary graduate schools and scientific institutes in the Barents region.

BANG was initiated by the Arctic Graduate School    ARKTIS, and it is coordinated by the Arctic Centre , University of Lapland.  NordForsk  is funding BANG for 2007-2010.
