Dear colleagues from Russia and Germany, We would like to offer you a warm welcome to this, our„4th German-Russian Week of the Young Researcher“! When we celebrated the German-Russian Year of Science“, three years ago, the idea was born to invite young researchers from both countries to come together to discuss current topics of mutual interest. Since then it has grown from strength to strength. The success of the first week in Kazan (2011) encouraged us to turn it into an annual event. The following years we met in Ekaterinburg (2012) and in Novosibirsk (2013). The main goal of these meetings is to foster collaboration among young scientists and researchers who will be Dr. Gregor Berghorn setting the agenda of scientific cooperation between Russia and Germany in the near future. And indeed this year, in 2014, it is a European idea that we convey with our week within the EU-Russia Year of Science as a joint initiative of the EU-Commission and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. And as usual research organizations and institutions of higher education of both our countries will be presenting their funding pro- grammes and describing the platforms that they can offer to both Russian and German PhD students or PostDoctoral researchers. The over arching principle behind these presentations is to facilitate collaboration and to broaden research networks. We have chosen the “northern capital” of Russia, Saint Petersburg, as the venue for our fourth German-Russian Week with good reason. Not only is St. Petersburg one of the lead- ing scientific centres in Russia, but it is also closely linked to the topic of our discussion. In contrast to previous meetings, which focused on topics from the fields of engineering, energy or health, during this fourth German-Russian Week we will be debating on historical issues in various regions of the world. Bearing in mind that 2014 commemorates the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, which saw the fall of several European Em- pires, we considered it to be relevant and scientifically attractive to invite young historians to Dr. Jörn Achterberg discuss modern approaches towards research on empires. The regions that we will be cover- ing under the general theme of „Global history – Russian-German Perspectives on Regional Studies“ include Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to St. Petersburg State University and its academic hospitality, to the Consulate General of Germany in St. Petersburg for its kind support, as well as to the Russian Foundation for the Humanities (RFH) and the Council of Young Scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences (YRAS) and the Council of the Russian Union of Young Scientists (RoSMU). And, of course, we thank all of you, the participants, for your involvement and cooperation in this conference. СПАСИБО ВАМ!
