Energy-efficient systems based on renewable energy for Arctic conditions
EFREA project started 1/11/2018. It aims to improve cross-border institutional framework with the increased level of knowledge, innovative potential and lifelong learning in renewable energy production in the Arctic conditions and utilization of big data collected from welding operations to ensure quality and productivity. It develops guidelines, recommendations and educational materials on implementation of lightweight energy-independent, robust, environmentally safe and cost-effective structures able to operate in the extreme temperatures.
Eco-Technopark in the Leningrad Region
Project idea objectives are creation of the first pilot model of the technopark in the Leningrad Region; preparation of raw materials from waste (RDF fuel, raw materials for the energy industry, plaster crumbs, rubber chips, fuel briquettes) and the exchange of products with other countries (Finland, Sweden); creation of logistics with Finnish companies for the exchange of secondary material resources and products from waste; creation of practical scientific and research base in the field of waste processing, renewable energy and innovations (joint programs between the institutes of Finland and Russia in the field of Earth sciences).
Main activities would be pilot testing; industrial cooperation; scientific and educational cooperation (development of educational programs for waste management and environmental management on the base of Russian, Finland, China, Estonia, Norway and Sweden universities and research centres/labs, including environmental preservation questions in the Arctic regions).
Desired partners both the southern part of Finland and Finland as a whole. Companies in the field of waste management; energy companies in the field of biofuel/RDF (transfer of the fuel raw materials from waste); companies for the production of equipment for waste sorting / energy from waste; practical research and development laboratories and centers; companies for the construction of modular buildings; logistic companies; research centers for reclamation of landfills of solid waste/ash and slag landfills.

Green Forest Safety
A new kind of the wireless energy independent sensors in the parks and forests for the wide net information about forest state (fire, strong winter, high level of water, etc.) This emergency information will make the foundation bases for same actions to defence the forests.
Main activities are
1. Design the several types of the new kinds of prototypes the wireless energy independent sensors for controlling the states of the trees in the parks and forests.
2. Pilot testing of the new kinds of the wireless energy independent sensors for controlling the states of the trees in the parks and forests.
3. Design and testing the system, including the energy independent sensors and the device, broadcasting the information, have received by sensors to the available internet site.
Desired partners would be in Finland electronic engineers, telecommunication companies, physics and botanics, all, who know the physical and chemical peculiarities of the trees life.

Proactive knowledge distribution on new approaches to effective fire extinguishing
The idea of the proposed project is to form a conglomerate of specialists familiar with the progressive technology of sprinkler fire fighting in cross-border regions of South-East Finland and Russia. The project is created to eliminate the current gap in which specialists who have “outdated” technologies are forced to operate and design modern buildings that use new approaches to safety and fire extinguishing systems, expenditure of resources, including within the concepts of “smart house” and “smart city”.
The project involves two key blocks: academic (education) and research. In the educational block, the transfer of knowledge from the research and expert community to students, engineers and technicians should be ensured in the following ways: Development and implementation at the universities (e.g. SPbPU and the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences) joint educational Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree programmes, professional development programmes etc.; Internship programs and familiarization of specialists engaged in the field of fire safety of constructions with innovative sprinkler firefighting technology; including real objects under constructions and the established training laboratory.
As the partners we would welcome in the consortium experts from the relevant profile from the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences or an additional Finnish partner (or expert) specializing in the implementation of Smart City technologies, in particular, its component “Smart Buildings”, which is a building where all engineering and information systems are integrated into a single management system (BMS – building management system).
