More power in studies and science, more opportunities for students and faculty and the creation of a new educational ecosystem in Kurzeme - such changes are expected after the government decision on 1 March that Liepaja University (Liepāja University) will join Riga Technical University (RTU) as a separate structural unit, retaining its autonomy and the humanities and social sciences characteristic of the university.
The leading technical universities of the Baltics and the Czech Republic, in solidarity with Ukraine and underlining their commitment to fundamental human values and international law, are withdrawing from the Conference of European Scools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research (CESAER), because, after lengthy discussions, it has not, in the context of war in Europe, excluded from its membership the university of the aggressor Russia - Tomsk Polytechnic University, which openly supports the Russian war in Ukraine. Nor has the CESAER Board of Directors voted to make it clear that this Russian university has no place in the organisation.
Experiments and creative workshops, information about study opportunities at Riga Technical University (RTU), a discussion on women's career paths in STEM fields, as well as excursions to RTU faculties and laboratories at the Ķīpsala campus - such a wide range of activities awaits visitors of the annual «Skola 2024» exhibition. The event will take place from 23 to 25 February at Ķīpsala International Exhibition Centre, 8 Ķīpsala Street.
