Litewski Instytut Historyczny - PL: Courage

The Lithuanian Institute of History (LII) is a state-funded research institution and Lithuania’s main historical research centre, concentrating largely on the history of Lithuania and its historic neighbours. The Institute has seven research departments, a library, and a manuscript division. The Institute has substantial experience in international research projects organized on the basis of the strong links it has formed with scholars at European universities and research institutes. The Institute’s extensive links with foreign partners, including the MTA BTK, with which it has worked closely on a number of projects, and its experience organizing an array of international conferences (for instance the annual Vilnius Symposium on Late Soviet and Post-Soviet Issues) and joint publications make it an invaluable participant in this undertaking.
