Scientific publications

The results of the scientific education activities conducted by NWPI KarRC RAS within the Baltic University cooperation framework, with secondary school teachers, and within the RAS program for support to young professionals are summarized over an almost 30-year period, starting 1991. Based on the previous multifaceted experience of the Department of Water Problems (reorganized since 1991 into the Northern Water Problems Institute, NWPI) in this sphere, the Scientific Education Center (SEC) “Water Bodies of Karelia and Methods of their Research” was established in 2002 in the new scientific space to reinvigorate and modernize the activities. Several lines of activities were developed to integrate secondary and higher education with science and to draw young talents into science. The tasks of the SEC “Water Bodies of Karelia and Methods of Their Research” are to offer support to young researchers and doctoral students in conducting research in the Institute’s scientific scope, provide training to highly qualified personnel (working with university students and doctoral students of the Institute) and environmental education (career guidance for schoolchildren, upskilling for teachers).
