The Pan-European Institute (PEI) observes the developments within the European economy and business throughout the whole continent. Its main focus is on reviewing changes both in the Baltic Sea region and in neighbouring countries of the European Union, especially in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.

Some five years ago, the Pan-European Institute (PEI) started to study the Russian innovation system in the framework of the research project funded by the Academy of Finland. This project generated an idea to collect short articles related to the modernisation and the innovation reform in Russia, and publish them in the Baltic Rim Economies review, which is distributed to tens of thousands of organisations in over 80 countries.

These columns deal with the modernisation in Russia, the country’s innovation policy, regional innovation systems, and most importantly, Russia’s co-operation in the field of innovation with the EU and its member states. These articles have been written, for instance, by President of the European Commission, deputies of parliaments, representatives of ministries and regional administrations, policy advisers, diplomats, leading academics and other key thinkers in the field.

The activities of the Russian Technology Transfer Network also be reflected in the publication. Article by Oleg Luksha, chairman of the Board Russian Technology Transfer Network describes the activities RTTN, its main objectives, international projects, in which the network is used.
