Since 1998 members of the Chair of Modern and Current History began to organize annual conferences «Saint Petersburg and North European countries». Main object of carrying out these conferences was the revival of the center of studying the Scandinavian countries and Finland in Petersburg. Three years later, in 2001 on the basis of carrying out of these conferences St. Petersburg Center for Research and Culture Of Scandinavia and Finland was formed and was included into the St Petersburg Association for International Cooperation (St Petersburg AIC).
Regular publications of collections of materials of these conferences, organized by the Chair, have great importance for uniting researchers of the countries of Northern Europe.
