Expedition Baltoscandia 2016

The expedition has the following objectives:

1) to commemorate 25th anniversary of Lithuania’s and the Baltic States’ independence diplomatic recognition and to thank the Nordic Countries for their leading role in this process;

2) to recall prof. Kazys Pakštas ideas of Baltoscandia and re-introduce them to the academic societies and general public in Scandinavia and the Baltic States through meetings and conferences in universities in Gdansk, Liubek, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Turku, Tartu, Riga;

3) to introduce the Baltic States and Scandinavian societies and the Lithuanian diaspora to Lithuania’s regional aspirations and promote the traveler’s Matas Šalčius idea “To Lithuania about the world, and to the world about Lithuania”;

4) to meet Lithuanian communities in the Baltic and Scandinavian States and discuss questions of education and integration.

A less formal but no less important objective is to test the technological foundations of the future trek across the world – vehicles and especially communication technologies.
