WONDER SEEKERS is the brand name for the SciTour Project.
The main goal of the project is to support and to expand the possibilities for small tourism operators inside the NPA programme region to increase their market reach. The project is also exploring new innovative ways of carrying science communication to people visiting new destinations.
The project involves five partners and twenty-six associate partners from Iceland, Scotland, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Sweden, Greenland and Norway. The project partners, the University of Lapland, the University of the Highlands and Islands, the University of Iceland and Greenland National Museum will collaborate on five different work packages geared towards accomplishing the main goals of the SCITOUR project.
