Since
the end of the Cold War the Baltic Sea region has re-emerged as
a visible entity on the map of Europe. Yet how visible is the Baltic
Sea region to the rest of the world? How much have Americans, Africans,
Asians, or Australians heard about this part of Europe? –
Probably not much, if anything at all. Seen from a global perspective,
the Baltic Sea region still appears to be a white spot on the world
map.
To change this is the primary goal of the BalticStudyNet
which is a networking programme of the Baltic Sea School in co-operation
with the Centre for Baltic
Studies at Copenhagen
University and the Baltic Sea Region Studies programme at Turku
University, with funding provided by the European
Union.
The BalticStudyNet aims at enhancing the attractiveness of Baltic
Sea Region Studies on a global scale by, among other things, hosting
international seminars like the Go North!
Conference or our Summer School
in 2006.
