Study Group on the Baltic States
Background and Aims
The BASEES Study Group on the Baltic States grew out of the UK Baltic Study Group, established in 2005. The group is an informal and interdisciplinary forum, which meets annually to foster greater discussion, collaborative research, interaction with policy practitioners and other non-academic partners and, potentially, joint activities in teaching. Membership of the group is open to UK academics and postgraduates from any discipline with an interest in the Baltic region who are conducting research relevant to the area.
Activities
Meetings rotate annually between institutions and consist of invited papers (maximum three) and discussion, followed by an annual meeting and a dinner. The first meeting was held at the University of Glasgow in 2005, the second at the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies in 2006 and the third at Nottingham Trent University in 2007. The next meeting will be hosted by the University of Aberdeen on 28 June 2008. Contact Dr David Galbreath for further information.
