The scientific-technical potential of the Baltic States and their
possibilities for co operation with Europe require in-depth,
specific analysis. With the deterioration of the structures of
science and technology of the former Soviet Union, the severance of
communications with former clients, industry and science and
technology, the Baltic States - the leaders of the former Soviet
Union in this area, faced a difficult new situation. The government
budgets of these countries, due to economic decline, are not
capable of financing scientific research and project studies, and
industry has lost a large part (in some branches this loss reaches
even 2/3 or more) of its potential, losing both funds and interest
in the sciences. The conversion of industry in the Baltic States is
tied with the whole of its restructurisation, which still has not
attained more precise directions for a new specialization or
connections to the international market. The earlier dominant
branches, such as machine production, electro-technology,
radio-technology and the electronics industry, require essential
modernization, which is possible only through co-operation with
other developed countries, especially with the EU and NATO
countries. This co-operation could include new mobilized capacities
of science and technology. A longer period of stagnation and
separation may adversely affect these capacities and lead to their
dilution and weakening, due to the "brain drain" of more qualified
scientists and specialists to the commercial sector, which does not
require high intellectual levels."
