FSO
The Research Centre for East European Studies (Forschungsstelle Osteuropa – FSO) is an independent research institute attached to the University of Bremen. Founded during the Cold War in 1982, the FSO now understands its mission as twofold: the (re)examination of societies and cultures in the “Eastern Bloc” and the analysis of contemporary developments in the post-Soviet region. The Research Centre for East European Studies at the University of Bremen has been involved in the field of knowledge transfer since it was established. Since 2003, the regular online publication of “country analytical digests” (see www.laender-analysen.de) has been a central activity of the FSO.
