BALTECH
BALTECH was initiated in May 1997 by the Rectors of the seven universities listed below:
- Kaunas University of Technology - Lithuania
- Linköping University - Sweden
- Lund University - Sweden
- Riga Technical university - Latvia
- Royal Institute of Technology - Sweden
- Tallinn University of Technology - Estonia
- Vilnius Gediminas Technical University - Lithuania
Currently, also the Helsinki University of Technology in Finland is one of the partner universities.
The Consortium has been set up with the aim to be the solid base for wider partnership and closer cooperation between universities in the Baltic Sea Region within the area of natural sciences, technology and industrial management. In the long term perspective the goal is to create a virtual "Baltic Sea University of Science and Technology" based on a number of universities around the Baltic Sea as a strategic resource for long-term development of education and research in accordance with the needs of the region. The Consortium is governed by a Board consisting of representatives of the Partner Universities and a Secretariat appointed by the Board.
