 The Museum of the World Ocean promotes the BalticMuseums projects in their museum newspaper for all visitors and friends of the museum. In the December/January edition Elizabeth Velmyakina describes the cooperation of the Oceanographic museums and their scientific partners. The South Baltic Award won by the project for the best website is in focus. The museum itself has contributed to set up this website www.balticmuseums.net by providing many pages of translation into Russian for all partners. Not only the main website but also its special section for kids was translated by the Russian colleagues. Furthermore the article reflects latest developments like the virtual galleries and plans for eGuides. Also the local number 1 newspaper, Kaliningradskaya Pravda, has published an article about BalticMuseums 2.0.

 On 10 January the Conference "Best practices - Successful stories" took place in Berlin. The BalticMuseums team was very happy to be invited as one of the speakers. The Technology Centre Vorpommern had organised the conference presenting projects from different funding programmes: Baltic Sea Region Programme, South Baltic Programme and Central European Programme as part of the JOSEFIN project. The audience from various projects and organisations was enthusiastic about the results of the BalticMuseums 2.0 project. Especially the kids section and the online platform got a lot of attention. Many interesting contacts could be made and the conference was a very rare chance to gather experiences across different funding programmes. Thus the presented projects were very different in size of budget and number of partners, however many participants found links in regard to the content worked on.
