The Northern Dimension
: a policy that promotes regional cooperation in Northern Europe. The EU, Norway, Iceland and Russia are the Northern Dimension partners. The Northern Dimension has in recent years been the most dynamic track in EU-Russia cooperation and has at the same time offered Norway and Iceland a possibility to join, on an equal basis. Partnerships with concrete projects have been established: the Environmental Partnership with its 3 billion euro project pipeline has been a success story and the  Public Health and Social Affairs Partnership is equally important. Recently the Transport and Logistics Partnership and the Cultural Partnership have been established.
