Is your thesis or a research project connected to Baltic exile communities? Whether you’re studying history, literature, art, social sciences, or any other field, we invite you to share your ideas and join the BaltHerNet Youth Seminar in Riga on November 21, 2025.

This seminar is designed for students at all levels (BA, MA, PhD) who want to present their ongoing work in a friendly and supportive environment.

  • A chance to present your research in a short talk
  • Constructive feedback from fellow students and professionals
  • Opportunities to connect with new colleagues and expand your network

Practical details:

  • Title of your presentation
  • Abstract (max. 400 words)

If the number of applicants exceeds the available slots, participants will be selected and notified via email by October 31, 2025.

Youth seminar is supported by Estonia’s Ministry of Education and Research therefore, students coming from Estonia are eligible for financial support covering transportation and accommodation.
