Presentation of the Academy North Cooperation ACADEMY NORTH ABSTRACT 2001-06-04 ACADEMY NORTH – from support area towards a growth region Academy North is an organised crossboarder co-operation between 13 municipalities from 4 adjacent counties. Arjeplog, Arvidsjaur, Dorotea, Kramfors, Lycksele, Malå, Sollefteå, Sorsele, Storuman, Strömsund, Vilhelmina, Vindeln, Åsele have joined forces in order to initiate co-ordinate and implement higher education. The mission is to create an innovative learning environment for peripheral regions with specific needs. The objective is to promote access to higher education. We classify our actions as follow. 1. I Programmes to satisfy needs of basic service, that is legitimate demands for long-term survival. 2. Programmes for sustainable and innovative growth. There are a lot of combined factors that have motivated and facilitated the Academy North network. Let us exemplify with this quotation from a European essay on “Contemporary Challenges to European Spatial Planning” with ambitions to forecast “A Europe of Sustainable Regions”. “Little economic prospects remain for such regions. They may sell their remoteness for all kind of activities which are not welcome at central locations (e.g. nuclear power plants, bio- genetic experimental laboratories or industrial waste disposal facilities)”. We have also sometimes been labelled as “not yet totally depopulated areas”. This somewhat bleak view of our future prospects displayed by outsiders have “triggered” our efforts to show that even small areas have potentials. At the same time we are very much aware of that European structural funds support efforts focusing on regional development in peripheral regions. Present activities within Academy North are partly financed by objective 1. One basic assumption for the work that is done within Academy North is a strong belief in the growing importance of the local dimension. We identify strengths, not just in terms of skills and resources, but in intangibles such as inter-personal networks and a sense of community and identity that can be activated in support of development efforts. Our target is empowerment. A second assumption is that higher education is instrumental to economic growth and regional development. Modern growth theories tend to emphasise knowledge but also social capital, interaction and capacity to learn. In this respect we are working in harmony with “ Sweden’s Regional Growth Accords”. Our long-term objective is to be recognised as a “Centre of Excellence” when compared with other peripheral regions in Europe also focusing on competence development as an instrument for regional growth. .

  • Spillnings- Inventering Av Björn I Västerbottens Län 2014
    Spillnings- inventering av björn i Västerbottens län 2014 Spillningsinventering av björn i Västerbottens län 2014 Handläggande enhet: Naturvårdsenheten Text: Michael Schneider Omslagsbild: Två björnar i daglega. Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald, Tyskland. Foto: Michael Schneider Kartor och grafik: Michael Schneider Tryck: Taberg Media Group, Taberg, 2015 Upplaga: 150 exemplar. Rapporten finns även tillgänglig som PDF på Länsstyrelsens webb- plats ISSN: 0348-0291 2 Förord Länsstyrelsen har uppdraget att förvalta rovdjuren i länet. För en bra förvaltning krävs bra information om rovdjurens antal och utbredning. I Västerbotten tillgodoses det behovet bland annat genom regelbundna inventeringar av björnstammen med hjälp av DNA-analys av in- samlad spillning. Första gången skedde detta 2004, andra gången 2009 och hösten 2014 var det dags igen. Spillningsinventeringar är svåra att genomföra utan en tät samverkan mellan Länsstyrelsen, jägarna, björnforskarna och ett laboratorium som genomför analyserna. Metoderna utvecklas ständigt. Västerbotten är med i arbetet att driva utvecklingen framåt och att öka vår kunskap om björnarna, inte bara i länet, utan också långt utanför. Ett led i detta arbete har varit att använda en ny metodik vid DNA-analyserna. Denna metod, som grundar sig på skillnader mellan olika björnindivider med avseende på enstaka byggste- nar i arvsmassan, har visat sig fungera mycket väl. Metoden har en hög analysframgång, den är förhållandevis billig och den ger en mängd information om björnstammens storlek, utbred- ning och struktur och i förlängningen även dess dynamik. Denna rapport ska ge en samlad bild över det arbete som genomfördes i Västerbotten 2014 och de resultat som har erhållits. De som har samlat spillning ges här tillfälle att sätta de egna proverna in i ett större sammanhang och att reflektera över vad som var bra och vad som kan bli bättre.

It also contains SKB's collective evaluation of the results (Chapter 11). A status report was published in June 1994. The purpose of the status report was to give the municipality, its reference group and other interested groups in Storuman and in the region, a basis for discussion and opinions before the final report was written. Numerous viewpoints have been presented and have occasioned some supplemen- tary studies or adjustments and additions to the final report. The viewpoints of the reference group on the status report are compiled in an appendix to this final report. For SKB's part, this report represents the conclusion of the feasibility study. As is evident from the viewpoints of the reference group, there are important questions that have not been fully answered within the framework of the feasibility study. Answering some of these questions requires information that can only be provided by a site investigation. Other questions of a more general nature can be taken up if the final evaluation of the feasibility study results in a common interest to continue site investigations in Storuman.

Analyses of busi- ness clusters and the importance of regions as well as knowledge flows through both local and global networks stand central in our theoretical work as CSC works in a trans-disciplin- ary tradition involving theories from Strategy, Management, Economic Geography, Eco- nomic Sociology and Economic History. At CSC we both apply and develop our theoretical models to investigate the determinants of competitiveness and economic development from a bottom up, microeconomic perspective. More information on CSC is available on the internet (www.sse.edu/csc).

Students, Same, Kurds, locals, authors, researchers, Chinese people, ptarmigan hunters, bitingly cold snowy winters, and summer nights when it never gets dark. Welcome to Västerbotten, the county of contrasts and accessible nature. Reindeer husbandry involves seven Same villages, and about 53,000 reindeer. Timber houses of the future built today. Peak Competence Basic Industry Metal ores, the forest and hydroelectric power are the basis of modern Västerbotten. Copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold are mined in seven mines in the Skellefteå field, which is one of the richest in Europe. And we have green gold. With 14 percent of Sweden’s forests, we achieve a net export value of almost 100 billion Swedish kronor. Hydroelectric power from three large rivers is a major source of energy for the rest of Sweden. But, the most of important asset is a dynamic business sector, which uses the resources of nature efficiently and carefully.
