On 12 February, Professor Helmut Schorber, Director General of the European Spallation Source (ESS) multidisciplinary research centre of the European Research Infrastructure Consortium, visited RTU to learn about the scientific work of Riga Technical University (RTU) and to identify possible opportunities for cooperation.
The European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) is a very important partner of Riga Technical University, which helps RTU to achieve its strategic goals in science, studies, and innovations, concluded the RTU management team upon its return from Switzerland and this globally influential science center. RTU management had the opportunity to meet with the management of CERN to discuss past and future cooperation, as well as to see firsthand the environment where RTU students and scientists work, participating in the creation of CERN's future accelerators and other internationally important science projects. Meetings with eight RTU doctoral students who study particle physics and accelerator technologies was particularly significant and inspiring.
To strengthen the cooperation of the Baltic States with the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) and promote the exchange of information on the latest scientific research in particle physics and accelerator technologies in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, the third CERN Baltic Conference «3rd CERN Baltic Conference (CBC2023)» will take place at Riga Technical University on October 9-11, 2023. The event will be held in the Moon conference room. Scientists, industry representatives, and decision makers from all three Baltic countries will participate.
