    The Department of History of Medicine at Lund University,

    Sweden, the Department of History, Theory and Ethics of

    Medicine at the Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf,

    Germany, and the Riga Stradins University, Latvia, are organising

    an international symposium about medicine in the Baltic Sea

    region. The focus is on scientific networks and transfers since

    the turn of the 20th century, and their impact today. The

    symposium is supported by the European Association for the

    History of Medicine and Health (EAHMH).

    A new “Hanseatic League”, “a global hotspot for health”,

    “one of the most innovative science macro-regions in the

    world”? In the fields of life science and technology, politicians

    and managers of current large research projects describe the

    Baltic Sea region as a hub of cutting-edge research. How did

    these images emerge? Although several research programs have

    been established to foster research on this territory, surprisingly

    few publications deal thoroughly with “Baltic Sea networks”

    in medicine and their impact for the production and spread of

    knowledge. This symposium brings together researchers who

    currently work on aspects of medical history in the Baltic Sea

    region to illuminate currents of ideas and areas of cooperation

    and conflict.
