Abstract
The European Arctic, in this context referring to Northern Fenno-Scandinavia, is covered by a wealth of instrumentation for observations of the geospace environment. In the very near future, the world's most sophisticated and powerful incoherent scatter radar, EISCAT_3D, will become part of this geoscience landscape. Recently, the institutes with observatory-grade observations in the area have joined efforts in the Nordic Observatory Collaboration. Here we give a brief overview of the resources available for geosciences and discuss future possibilities.
