In Finland the research of arctic technology is based on knowhow of winter navigation and construction. During the past five years research and development work has gained in volume and it now covers new areas, such as offshore technology in arctic seas and instrumentation and measuring systems in arctic climate. The publication contains basic data and short summaries of arctic technology research projects under study during 1983 - 84 and under public financing. In the area of arctic technology cooperation between different research institutes and private companies has become very comprehensive.
