Forum Strategov 2019 took place in St. Petersburg on 28.-29. of October 2019. In this event, separate part has been dedicated to the Baltic Sea region projects, seminar dialogue “The Baltic Sea Region: Russia-EU Transnational Cooperation Results and Perspectives” where Baltic Sea Underground Innovation Network (BSUIN) project was one of the examples of EU & Russia collaboration.
Russia has joined the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme collaboration during the year 2018. Over 40 projects have Russian partners.
Kirill Shekov from the Karelian Research Center and Eija-Riitta Niinikoski from the University of Oulu, Kerttu Saalasti Institute told about the Baltic Sea Underground Innovation Network (BSUIN) project.
“There are many underground facilities that are under-utilized. The BSUIN project aims to make them more accessible for innovation, business development, and science”, Eija-Riitta Niinikoski told.
As Kirill Shekov described, Ruskeala Mining Park is a great example of this, because the former marble mine is now a very attractive tourist site.
As Eija-Riitta Niinikoski states, “By various characterization processes and business model development, we want to improve the information about underground laboratories and their future possibilities as well as to achieve a long-lasting network for peer-support for underground laboratories”. And as Kirill Shhekov added, “one of the on-going tasks is to develop common standards and approaches to solving legal, organizational, operational and technical problems of underground structures. We all hope that BSUIN project implementation will help the community of scientists to justify the importance and the significance of scientific and practical work performed in the underground structures”.
The event was part of the XVIII Annual Strategic Planning Leaders Forum of the Regions and Cities of Russia.

Exploring the ULs’ expectations for a CRM system
Choosing the right CRM system for an organization is challenging, which is why prior to the acquisition, precise CRM system requirements and specifications should be defined to support decision-making. One of the aims of the project was to provide CRM system requirements specification for the ULs. To explore the needs and limitations of the ULs, an online survey was used in this project.

Lessons Learnt: Baltic Sea Region Common Identity
There are quite a few ideas, thoughts, lessons that you get as working in a transnational project team. The Baltic Sea Underground Innovation Network (BSUIN) project gave us a great opportunity to learn more about the common identity and differences that we have around our Baltic Sea.

EUL Innovation platform V1.1: implementing updates
One of the main aims of the EUL (Empowering Underground Laboratories Network Usage) project is to test and develop the EUL Innovation platform and to make the tool into a more user-friendly and more purposeful direction for the potential customers and the underground laboratory managers to use. To achieve it WP2 team with its leader Jose Garcia de Real organized interactive workshops to gather ideas on how to make it possible.

Study of natural background radiation in Callio Lab (Finland)
The Callio Lab is one of the six underground laboratories participating in the BSUIN project. The natural background radiation (NBR) measurements were performed in Callio Lab (located in the Pyhäsalmi Mine (Finland)) in July 2018 by a group from the University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland. The NBR measurement carried out at a depth of 1436 m (~4000 m w.e.) in the felsic volcanic bedrock occurs.

Interview with Mia Pujol on intelligent lightning in underground conditions
The European Geoscience Union General Assembly 2020 was this year converted into EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online (#shareEGU20). The online program was held from 4th to 8th of May with inter- and transdisciplinary sessions, disciplinary sessions, Union symposia, and great debates. Short courses and other events took place in different formats.

Interview with Mia Pujol on intelligent lightning in underground conditions
Mia Pujol wrote her thesis on the topic of ”Lighting at the End of the Tunnel-The Design of Adaptive and Intelligent Lighting for an Underground Workspace”. She chose the research question with the determination to not fall into the trap of just formulating a very complex research question. ”When the topic of a thesis is as unique as mine is, there is often the tendency to over-complicate”, says Pujol. She thinks one of the most important things to achieve is to make the lighting accessible to a large number of people.
