Din Guide Till FISKE- PARADISET IMAGINE the POSSIBILITIES! Din guide till FISKE- PARADISET IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES! Arjeplog offers fishing possibilities for everyone, ranging from family friendly perch angling in lakes to Arctic char and brown trout fly-fishing in the alpine mountain waters. Fishing with trolling gear has increased in popularity in the last decade and yearly tournaments are scheduled in the larger lakes in the community; such as Hornavan, Uddjaur and Tjeggelvas. Since the municipality covers a large region the maps and their respective characteristic have been separated into seven sub-areas. In this folder, specific area descriptions and maps are presented to inform YOU, thevisitor, about the fishing possibilities in Arjeplog. As you can see, the presentation is quite descriptive since there are about 9000 lakes and more than 3 000 km of rivers and streams in the region. Site-specific and updated details about fishing possibilities can be obtained from the local tourist or travel agents, or by contacting professional fishing guides. Another great way to learn about the local fishing opportunities is to talk to some of the local fishing fanatics in the area. Arjeplog warmly welcomes you!

The strategy contains a number of changes to strengthen the rights of national minorities and to raise the level of ambitions for the implementation of the minority rights policy.

The Parliament adopted the bill on June 10, 2009.

On its peninsula in the north-west cor- ner of Europe, and with its northern boundary abutting on the Polar world, it forms a backwater to the main stream of Continental communications. The southern boundary of Sweden lies in the same latitude as the boundary between Scotland and England, and as Labrador and British Columbia in America; while its northern boundary lies in the same latitude as the northern half of Greenland and the Arctic archipelago of America.

  • Centre for Automotive Systems Technologies and Testing CASTT Annual Report 2 2009 Has Been CASTT’S Most Successful Year to Date
    The northernmost University of Technology in Scandinavia World-class research and education ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Centre for Automotive Systems Technologies and Testing CASTT ANNUAL REPORT 2 2009 has been CASTT’s most SUCCESSFUL YEAR to date CASTT has developed in several ways, perhaps most importantly in that a growing number of interested parties from Sweden, Europe and around the world are now gathering around CASTT and the projects that are being conducted. For example, automotive companies from India are now collaborating with CASTT. The increasing attention that CASTT is receiving in the Gothenburg region is very exciting. This shows that the automobile testing industry’s efforts to become an accepted part of the Swedish auto industry are paying off. I look forward with great anticipation to what the CASTT road map project will deliver. It is my hope that this project will provide a map for the continued development of the automobile testing industry and LTU as a bearer of knowledge within the automobile industry. CASTT is growing project-wise. We are now conducting 12 projects in collaboration with entrepreneurs and automobile companies. On the basis of this strong foundation, I look to the future with great confidence. JERKER DELSING Chair, CASTT management group CASTT ANNUAL REPORT 3 CASTT takes on the challenge Testing is a growing business segment. Greater competition, traffic-safety and environmental concerns are leading to an increased need for testing of both vehicle systems and road systems. Since 2005, CASTT has been working to promote the development of the testing industry. CASTT brings together entrepreneurs, researchers, teachers, engineers and financiers.

  • Energy Supply Potentials in the Northern Counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden Towards Sustainable Nordic Electricity and Heating Sectors: a Review
    energies Review Energy Supply Potentials in the Northern Counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden towards Sustainable Nordic Electricity and Heating Sectors: A Review Robert Fischer * ID , Erik Elfgren and Andrea Toffolo Energy Engineering, Luleå University of Technology, SE-97187 Luleå, Sweden; [email protected] (E.E.); [email protected] (A.T.) * Correspondence: robert.fi[email protected]; Tel.: +46-920-49-1454 Received: 28 February 2018; Accepted: 23 March 2018; Published: 26 March 2018 Abstract: The lands in the northernmost corner of Europe present contradictory aspects in their social and economic development. Urban settlements are relatively few and small-sized, but rich natural resources (minerals, forests, rivers) attract energy-intensive industries. Energy demand is increasing as a result of new investments in mining and industries, while reliable energy supply is threatened by the planned phase out of Swedish nuclear power, the growth of intermittent power supplies and the need to reduce fossil fuel consumption, especially in the Finnish and Norwegian energy sectors. Given these challenges, this paper investigates the potentials of so far unexploited energy resources in the northern counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden by comparing and critically analyzing data from statistic databases, governmental reports, official websites, research projects and academic publications. The criteria for the technical and economic definition of potentials are discussed separately for each resource. It is concluded that, despite the factors that reduce the theoretical potentials, significant sustainable techno-economic potentials exist for most of the resources, providing important insights about the possible strategies to contribute to a positive socio-economic development in the considered regions.

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). This is a translation from Swedish of the report “Svenska klusterkartor” published in 2003 by Centre for Research on Innovation and Industrial Dynamics (CIND), Uppsala University, with support from Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (NUTEK).
