EU-MAT: Effective Urban Material Mining in Cities
The Interreg Aurora funded project EU-MAT: Effective Urban Material Mining in Cities addresses the low material circularity in construction across the northern regions of Finland, Sweden, and Norway, where logistical challenges and vast distances hinder efficient material reuse. One of the key barriers cited for not utilizing used building materials in a materials cascade, is […]
Createch North: AI Leap
The Interreg Aurora funded project Createch North: AI Leap enhances the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in creative technologies through AI expertise development. The project brings together partners across Finland, Sweden, and Norway to make AI accessible and practical for Arctic creative professionals. Through hands-on Createch Jams, an AI Masterclass, business mentoring, hackathons, […]
CIRCUIT
CIRCUIT – Cross-border Innovation and Research for Creative & Immersive Transformation – is a collaborative initiative dedicated to exploring and accelerating the use of cutting-edge immersive technologies – such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and multisensory experiences – across the Northern Sparsely Populated Areas (NSPA) of the Interreg Aurora region. Our mission is […]
The Botnia Ice Cider
Together Brännland Ice Cider, Liselunds Cider and Bute Cider, all ice cider producers located in the Botnia area, has found common ground in production values and future vision of an ice cider producing region. In order to initiate further development of primary production for ice cider, the growth of more producers of ice cider, a […]
H2BRIDGE
The Interreg Aurora funded project H2BRIDGE tackles the challenge of transitioning towards sustainable energy in Northern Finland and Sweden, areas characterized by major industrial hubs with significant CO2 emissions. It develops an innovative, scalable panel reactor system using printed photocatalytic panels to produce hydrogen from solar energy (“solar hydrogen”). This offers a sustainable, cost-effective energy […]
AUTONOMIC
The Interreg Aurora funded project AUTONOMIC introduces autonomous inspection and monitoring of the environment to promote sustainable development in northern regions. A team of mobile robots navigate in harsh, remote areas of arctic and sub-arctic climates with the aid of intelligent perception and decision making. The robotic system will be equipped with advanced tools enabling […]
WaVes – Smart Innovative Biotechnology from Arctic Plant-Derived Waxes and NanoBiomaterials
The WaVes projects objective is to utilize Arctic spruce and berry waxes, along with extracellular vesicles (EVs), by capturing them from natural sources. Building on the success of the WAX project (Interreg Nord), which analyzed Nordic berry waxes and explored extraction methods, the current WaVes project seeks to develop novel wax- and EV-based biosensors for […]
DSS-oral, Digital support solutions for oral health care
The project addresses the shortage of dental care resources in the Aurora region and strives for improved access to oral healthcare. Public oral healthcare in Scandinavia, particularly in rural and northernmost areas, faces significant challenges due to limited human resources. This scarcity results in delayed treatments of oral diseases and eventually higher treatment costs. Moreover, […]
