On December 14, the Estonian Academy of Sciences will host the inaugural event of the Association of Spanish Researchers in the Baltic Countries (ACEBaltic). Jointly organized by ACEBaltic and the Embassy of Spain in Estonia, with funding from the Fundación Ramón Areces, the event will bring together a vibrant community of researchers, policymakers, and science enthusiasts.
The program (see full program at the end) will run from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. The morning will start with some welcoming words by the Ambassadors of Spain in Estonia and in Lithuania and will follow with an outline of the past activities of the association of Spanish Researchers in Estonia (ACEE) and the journey towards the creation of the Baltic association. Then, we will present the activities planned for 2025.
We are very honored to have the presence and participation of high representatives of the Spanish and Baltic Science systems. With them, we will discuss after lunch the problem of incorporating young researchers to more established positions and how the different countries are tackling this issue.
A key feature of the day will be the AstrónomAs exhibition, a project from Spain that celebrates the contributions of women in astronomy. We are proud to announce that Estonian astronomers have now been added to this initiative, and, to close the event, we will present the exhibition with the new names.
