During their stay, the guests familiarized themselves concerning MTI’s research and development activities, for example foresight, safety and security as well as MTI’s co-operation with Russia in Barents region. In Ounasvaara Living Lab, the destinations included for example Santasport with its top-level physical development infrastruc-ture (sports) and healthcare virtual environment ENVI.

Concerning arctic dimension, the guests visited cold testing lab (Arctic Power) and Arctic Centre.

The problems and good practices in the Arctic and in Southern Europe were discussed in constructive spirit during the visit. The visit was hosted by European Dimension in Tourism Safety and Security (ESF) –project and northern Living Laboratory development focused NorthRULL–network (ERDF).

The visit made it possible for us to test northern living laboratory initiatives. Research and development and living laboratories in Rovaniemi region got really positive feedback from the guests.
