Financeestonia International Forum 2013 FinanceEstonia International Forum 2013 June 6th to 7th in Tallinn, Estonia WIFI password in Swissotel conference center is: events Dear participant of the Forum I am glad to welcome you to the first FinanceEstonia International Fo- rum, which profiles Estonia as a location for financial services. We have guests from 17 countries and Estonia’s top experts from a range of business fields participating: asset management, bank- ing, IT, legal, advisory and business transformation to name but a few. Besides a strong presence of leading Nordic banks, today there are more than 30 cross-border financial and shared services pro- viders in Estonia. We believe that we have an excellent platform on which to generate much more business. As a location Estonia stands out internationally for it’s prudent fis- cal policy (AA- rating), strong economic growth (3.2% in 2012) and well capitalized banking sector (Tier I ratio of 23%). We are well known for our buzzing Startup scene and innovative e-solutions and infrastructure (#22 in the Global IT Report). And we are very proud of our skilful and hard-working people! We believe that amid financial crises and growing challenges to improve efficiency, Estonia is in an excellent position to develop into a strong location for financial services. This Forum will be full of insight and discussion on how to capi- talize on our platform in order to offer better business services to an even wider audience. I encourage your active participation and net- working to find opportunities to work together. I hope this Forum offers you great insights and valuable new con- nections!

After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated. My studying career was a quite a long one and not always that easy, but it has been a wonderful time where I have learned many things and developed myself. The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly. Alt- hough I am the one who will receive the degree, I could not have done this without the support and help of many during the years of studying in general and during the writing of this thesis in particular. Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.

  • Several Lives of Tallinn's Christmas Tree
    30.6.2021 https://kesklinn.sendsmaily.net/template/preview/id/7/ If you do not see this message properly, click here. Dear Tallinn City Centre Residents, International Women's Day is celebrated globally on March 8. This year is notable for Estonia, as two women currently lead the Estonian Republic: Kersti Kaljulaid as President, and Kaja Kallas as Prime Minister. A recent survey conducted by the National Statistics Board and published symbolically on March 8th shows that Estonian women are well- educated, hard-working, and in great physical shape. Our health is strongly connected to the environment we live in, which is why the webinar “Waste Sorting and Recycling in Tallinn” initiated by the City Center New Arrivals Council was particularly topical. If you missed the webinar, you can watch the recording here. In this newsletter, you will learn about the multiple lives of Tallinn’s Christmas tree, how Tallinn’s participatory budget will be implemented in the City Center, and how to furnish your life in Tallinn for under 200 euros. Happy reading!

Library British Library of Political and Economic Science Abstract This study investigates the interplay of collective memories and national identity in Estonia, and uses life story interviews with members of the intellectual elite as the primary source. I view collective memory not as a monolithic homogenous unit, but as subdivided into various group memories that can be conflicting. The conflict line between ‘Estonian victims’ and ‘Russian perpetrators* figures prominently in the historical culture of post-Soviet Estonia. However, by setting an ethnic Estonian memory against a ‘Soviet Russian’ memory, the official historical narrative fails to account for the complexity of the various counter-histories and newly emerging identities activated in times of socio-political ‘transition’.
