In 1970–1980s, many meetings, workshops and field excursions were organized. BRSC played an important role in promoting stratigraphical research in the former Soviet Union and contributing to the development of stratigraphical schemes used for geologic mapping in the Baltic region and NW Russia. In 16 October 1990, owing to increased independence of the Baltic States, the BRSC was reformed into a less formal organization — the Baltic Stratigraphical Association (BSA), which unites the national stratigraphical commissions. The regional stratigraphical commission of NW Russia also joined BSA in 2003. One of the main activities of BSA has been organizing regular scientific conferences devoted to regional geology and stratigraphy. Up to now six meetings have been held in Tallinn (1991, 1996), Vilnius (1993, 2002), Riga (1999) and St. Petersburg (2005). The Seventh Baltic Stratigraphical Conference to be held on 18–19 May 2008 in Tallinn has attracted nearly 80 participants from 10 countries. The current volume includes 66 abstracts dealing with different aspects of palaeontology, regional geology, chemostratigraphy and biostratigraphy, stratigraphical methodology, correlation issues and so forth. A special session of IGCP Project 503 “Ordovician Palaeogeography and Palaeoclimate” will be arranged and the conference is an event of the UNESCO International Year of Planet Earth (2007–2009). Starting already from the first “open” meeting in Vilnius in 1993, the scientific scope of the Baltic stratigraphical conferences has always been wider than just “Baltic stratigraphy”. Thus one may wonder why we call it a “stratigraphical conference” at all? This is perhaps something to discuss in connection with the next meetings. Also, the future role of BSA itself should be discussed. In recent meetings no formal decisions or agreements that affect stratigraphy and corresponding nomenclature have been made. Yet there are many possibilities how closer co-operation between the geologists of the Baltic region could promote stratigraphy and Earth sciences in general. Organizing stratigraphical information, increasing its accessibility, compiling joint stratigraphical schemes and building connections with the International Commission on Stratigraphy and its subcommissions — these could be some of the future tasks for BSA. We welcome you in Estonia and wish you a nice stay here.
