As of the 3rd meeting of the Baltic Earth Interim Science Steering Group (BEISSG) on 18 June 2014 in Lund, Sweden, the permanent Baltic Earth Science Steering Group (BESSG) has been installed. Baltic Earth is led and managed by the Baltic Earth Science Steering Group. The steering group has the responsibility to organize and maintain the programme efficiently.

Urmas is professor and head of Department of Marine Systems at Tallinn University of Technology. He is internationally involved in HELCOM, BOOS and EuroGOOS. One of his research interest involves the interplay between meteorological and hydrophysical processes on the one hand, and biological and biogeochemical processes on the other hand.
