Created 2003-05-09
Lithuania has been recognised as the most active of the Baltic States participating in NATO’s Science For Peace Programme, according to the currently released information newsletter by the NATO Science Affairs Division on the involvement of the acceding countries in the Alliance’s research and development programmes.
The newsletter says that Lithuania is involved in seven projects of the Science for Peace Programme.
The newsletter describes the modern Centre of Laser Research, renovated through the funds from the NATO programme and a scientific seminar held in Vilnius to discuss the prospects of nuclear energy in Lithuania.
The newsletter underscores that the Lithuanian Government pays a lot of attention to research and development and notes that NATO’s support for modernisation of science institutions is fairly substantial and significant.
The newsletter was published by the NATO Science Affairs Division and it is disseminated in over 80 countries.
Although Lithuania invited to join NATO last November is to become a full-fledged member next May, it received an invitation to attend the nearest session of NATO Science Committee as an observer on 24-27 June in Kyiv.
