The Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education stand will acquaint
visitors with successful innovative developments from Russian universities and
institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) aimed at solving various
kinds of problems in the extraction and transportation of hydrocarbons,
environmental protection, and the creation of new Arctic infrastructure solutions.
The Ministry will be presenting a model airship for a round-the-world
expedition across the Earth’s two poles, a dynamic arctic station model with a
visualization of energy supply methods, and an automated Rescuer medical
module, which is a medical evacuation life support device for people injured in
accidents.
NRC Kurchatov Institute has prepared models of the following projects:
the Arkhangelsk production and logistics complex, a kilowatt generator
employing renewable energy sources and electrochemical fuel cells, and an
autonomous eco-settlement model.
The JSC Central Research Institute for Automation and Hydraulics stand
will introduce guests to exhibits focused on the development of Russia’s Arctic
zone and will present a model of the control post of a ship moving along a
narrow sea channel with the use of a ship Automated Radio Navigation System
(ARNaS). The system guarantees high-precision vessel navigation regardless of
the quality of satellite navigation system signals, as demonstrated by video recording
of the simulated movement of the vessel and the corresponding indication of the
onboard equipment.
The Consulate General of Sweden, with the support of Swedish companies,
will dedicate its exhibit to the fate of northern indigenous women. The exhibition

Latitudinal Railway — a major project for the development of Russian Arctic
railway infrastructure and a key element of the unified Arctic transport
infrastructure being created. The Murmansk Region will talk about major projects aimed at
developing offshore hydrocarbon production infrastructure, transport and energy
infrastructure, and the resource base and production facilities of existing
mining and ship repair facilities, and at creating new mining, chemical and
metallurgical facilities, coastal fish processing and aquaculture enterprises,
and at updating the fishing fleet.
