The Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies (AABS) supports academic events and scholarly projects that promote Baltic Studies. Preferred events include conferences, seminars, and workshops emphasizing graduate students and early career scholars. International events involving scholars from outside the Baltic states receive particular priority. Funding may support these scholars’ participation or contribute to the event program in other meaningful ways.
The program also prioritizes building, maintaining, and showcasing Baltic collections outside the Baltic states. These may include libraries, archives, and art or archaeological collections supporting the study of Baltic peoples’ history and culture. Projects with a pan-Baltic or comparative aspect are especially encouraged, though proposals beyond these preferred areas may also be considered.
