Furthermore, the report presented a possible overall model of an EU Arctic Information Centre – a tool for contributing to sustainable development in the Arctic.

The proposal indicated the main objectives, goals and tasks, and defined the substance of the model. Potential services and products are presented in detail to illustrate the full capacity of the EUAIC network. The Network Feasibility Analysis also demonstrated the potential of using existing scientific information and practitioners’ knowledge in policy- and decision-making processes. A wide spectrum of options for implementing an EU Arctic Information Centre is presented and described within the report including the alternatives, operational models, management, human resources, and financing sources necessary to implement the proposed EU Arctic Information Centre.
