What We Do

The primary function of the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies (AABS) is to provide an open forum where scholars can present their views on all facets of inquiry connected to Baltic Studies. The Association may partner with other learned societies and with universities on specific projects such as conferences and the furthering of education in relevant areas. The Association does not advocate on matters of public policy or issue public statements.
