Description

Description (EN):

Public services provision in remote and sparsely populated area is becoming a common challenge in Arctic territories. Factors such as low-density populations, long distances and other physical barriers, youth out-migration and shortage of human and material resources are putting the public service providers in high pressure to deliver quality and sustainable services. ARCTIC PACER addresses this challenge by clustering 5 projects to explore innovative solutions for participative, user-centred, quality and sustainable digital public services in Arctic regions. The involved projects present complementarities that will allow to tackle more complex use cases using their expertise with huge potential application in this field:EMERGREEN focuses in the introduction of new emerging technologies and shared solutions@geing online stresses on the importance of involving end-users in the development of meaningful digital servicesBitStream II explores innovative business models for citizen centric public servicesCYNIC aims to facilitate test environments for SMEs to develop new digital servicesIMPROVE puts community at the centre as part of the solution to co-produce public services Overall the project gathers more than 30 partners from over 20 regions in 7 countries including Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Ireland and Northern Ireland. By clustering these projects we will be able to:Explore new integrated solutions for complex public services deliveryInvolve and get contributions from wider range of relevant stakeholders and target groupsBuild up new partnerships to find further solutions to the topic addressedIncrease the visibility of the participant projects allowing them to reach new audiences and disseminate the achievement at both levels, jointly as a cluster and as individual projects.
