| Title | Baltic Studies Summer Institute 2010 at UW-Madison |
| Body | The Center for Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia (CREECA) and the Department of Scandinavian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will host the Baltic Studies Summer Institute (BALSSI) in summer 2010 (June 14-August 6, 2010). First-year intensive Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian language courses will be offered. Pending sufficient enrollment, second-year intensive courses in those languages will be offered as well. BALSSI 2010 will also include lectures (in English) on Baltic history and culture and a rich program of cultural events and field trips related to the Baltic countries. Information and application materials are available on the BALSSI Web site: www.creeca.wisc.edu/balssi Graduate students are eligible to apply for a summer 2010 Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowship through CREECA (FLAS deadline Feb. 19, 2010): http://www.flas.wisc.edu Thanks to a generous grant from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), the program fee for first-year Estonian will be waived for graduate students specializing in East European studies in any discipline. (Students will still be responsible for paying UW-Madison segregated fees.) Graduate students interested in Latvian and Lithuanian are encouraged to apply directly to ACLS for a summer language grant: http://www.acls.org/grants/Default.aspx?id=540 BALSSI is sponsored by a consortium of twelve US universities and receives additional support from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, ACLS, and the Lithuanian Foundation.
