When: 1 – 6 July 2024
Where: Vilnius and Kaunas, Lithuania
For whom: 17 undergraduate, Masters, and PhD students within humanities and social sciences from Cambridge (Politics and International Studies; History; Human, Social, and Political Science; Modern and Medieval Languages; English; Law; Management Studies; as well as Asian and Middle Eastern Studies)
Organised by: Faculty of History, Vilnius University; Office of the Chief Archivist of Lithuania; and The Cambridge Centre for Geopolitics
About: The principal purpose of this summer school is to widen the pool of Cambridge students and academics with knowledge and experience of Baltic geopolitical issues. The programme aims to awaken interest in the subject and increase the possibility of students at all levels deciding to focus on Baltic geopolitical subjects as they move forward in their academic career. The event will add experience to academic study by providing the opportunity both to look at questions of intellectual interest in a slightly deeper and more informal context and to develop interests which might otherwise have not been explored. Moreover, this summer school would build potentially strong networks with people in the region. Our programme will include lectures and Q&As, meetings and discussions, visits to museums and historical sights. Students should have reached a threshold level of ‘regional literacy’ connected to the Baltic Sea region.
