Editorial Board

Since after the “Baltic Parctice” 2007 in Germany books of research papers started to be regularly published, a need for a permanent Editorial Board has clearly surfaced. The Editorial Board will comprise experts and academicians from research centers and universities both in Russia and abroad, so that to lend the best expertise for the improvement of research quality.

The members of the Editorial Board will review the research papers in their areas of interest, in order to provide guidance and advice for improvement. It is vital that the “Baltic Practice” as an international research project receives "external" evaluation from well-known experts who can also foster the discussion of the issues addressed by the working groups.

So far we’ve got some prominent researchers who promptly agreed to become members of the Board, and this is not the full list yet.
