It are the little things that can make someone happy. Some of my Swedish pictures are featured on the website of the University of the Arctic.

That idea is already nice, but I also find it nice to be associated with this initiative. As they say it themselves: the University of the Arctic (UArctic) is a cooperative network of universities, colleges, research institutes and other organizations concerned with education and research in and about the North.

This page shows you a nice map with a bunch of yellow dots, with all the institutes associated with the University of the Arctic. They study a broad range of disciplines, from business to art in their aim to connect everything that is known about the Arctic.

Such a global collaboration effort deserves some support, as it might strengthen the future of this precious cold region.
