More than thirty leading experts from Russia, Belarus, Germany and Norway attended the International Forum “Baltic Sea Heritage: the Future and Risks”. The event, organised by IKBFU, took place on the 14th—15th of December across the university’s campus and the World Ocean Museum.
Participants exchanged valuable insights on international cooperation efforts in the region, sharing their expertise and identifying opportunities for further collaboration. A central theme of the forum was the pressing issue of climate neutrality in the Baltic Sea Region.

Maxim Demin, Vice-Rector for Research: |
| The university's scientific laboratories and environmental projects are deeply involved in Baltic Sea studies. The resulting findings may chart the way to preserve the Baltic heritage. | |
Governor Anton Alikhanov noted that the Kaliningrad Region is an active participant in the federal environmental projects. The region is dedicated to land revitalization, wastewater and sewage treatment.
| Years of dedicated work, including the Kaliningrad sewage treatment plant and other crucial projects, have pushed back against Baltic Sea pollution. Thanks to joint efforts, the region is now free of its previously notorious polluted areas. While we celebrate our progress, the fight for a cleaner future continues. |
The governor also noted the University’s efforts in greenhouse gas research and the development of carbon balance control methodology.
The panel format established new areas of marine research and paved the way for collaborative conservation efforts.
The Forum is a part of the international “Baltic Platform” project, which was established at the initiative of leading Russian universities and research institutes.
