The Paul Ariste Centre for Indigenous Finno-Ugric Peoples of the University of Tartu Has Been Active for Five Years (1999-2004)

Summary/Abstract: The Paul Ariste Centre for Indigenous Finno-Ugric Peoples was established on the initiative of the Kindred People’s Programme in autumn 1999. The article provides an overview of the activities of the Ariste centre in the five years it has been active – the scholarship students of the Kindred People’s Programme in Estonia, the communication forum SURING established for Finno-Ugric students, seminars on various Finno-Ugric issues, and the participation of the scholarship students of the programme in international academic events. The most consequential work has been done on compiling the online publications on the Mordvin and Komi in cooperation with the Department of Folkloristics of the Estonian Literary Museum and with the involvement of young people of our kinfolk studying in Estonia. Various publications in Finno-Ugric languages have added impetus to the first studies in various fields and to creating and updating academic terminology in native Finno-Ugric languages.
