About

The Yale Baltic Studies Program is an interdisciplinary forum for the study of the Baltic Sea region, with an emphasis on the lands that comprise contemporary Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.  The program sponsors workshops, symposia, and lectures, and serves as a resource for and liaison among students and scholars whose work involves the Baltic region.  

The Program’s most recent event was a talk given on the Yale campus on May 2, 2008, by Vaira Vike-Freiberga, President of Latvia from 1999-2007, titled "Latvia, the European Union, and Russia."  This event was co-sponsored by the Yale Program in European Union Studies and Pierson College.

The Baltic Studies Program is supported through the generosity of Dr. Kristaps J. Keggi, M.D. (Yale College, 1955); Mr. Juris Padegs (Yale College, 1954); and Mr. Joseph Kazickas (Ph.D. 1951).
