The European Union (EU) financial instruments can enable the science of Latvia to enter the ranks of European innovation leaders, regaining the reputation and excellence that Riga stood for at the beginning of the 20th century, stated the Rector of the University of Latvia (LU) Indriķis Muižnieks at the seminar "Innovation – Source of Development in the 21st Century", which took place at the UL House of Nature. The location of this event is significant, as the loan of EUR 30 million granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB) in 2017 is being used for further development of the UL Academic Centre, writes Kristīne Stepiņa, newspaper “Dienas Bizness”. I. Muižnieks considers this funding and the international expertise made available along with it as a force for the innovation of the University of Latvia and Latvian science, and enabler of commercializing research results. One of the most prestigious world university rankings, the Times Higher Education, has given the UL as 801 th

in their Latvian heritage. The lectures were informative and the professors were very kind and helpful. And despite the challenges of online learning this year, the professors did a fantastic job. I learned a lot and made new friends from all around the world. My only wish is to take another class next summer, but this time in Latvia! I also had a question, will there be another way I can continue to take Latvian classes this fall semester? My goal is study at UL this spring and I would like to learn as much as possible before visiting. Liels paldies, Mike I hope you are doing well. First, I wanted to thank your for putting together the summer program at UL. It was such a wonderful program and I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to participate. You did a great job coordinating everything - thank you! I also wanted to let you know what a great job Inga did in teaching. I’ve taken years of second language courses (French in high school and college) and Inga is one of the best teachers I

pharmacogenomics research on a global scale. “The experience I have gained while practicing at the Latvian Biomedical research and study center, participating in various European and local scientific projects, has given me extensive knowledge in molecular biology, genetics of multifactorial diseases, and research into their biomarkers from both a functional and methodological point of view. It is this experience that has enabled me to be actively involved in other non-type 2 diabetes research projects, including large-scale SARS-CoV-2 virus, Covid-19, and pediatric malignancies,” says researcher Monta. About the UL Foundation Since 2004, the University of Latvia Foundation has been providing an opportunity for patrons and partners to support both LU and other leading Latvian universities, thus investing in the future of Latvia. The priorities of the Foundation are to support the most outstanding students and researchers, to contribute to the creation of a modern learning environment

Support to the makers of future Both recipients of the Diplomacy Scholarship emphasize the importance of supporting the University of Latvia students and Latvian higher education in general. “In today's globalized environment, where competition in any field and sphere is intense, the acquisition of higher education contributes to a more successful outcome. Therefore, I would like to extend my profound gratitude to all the patrons, especially to the Krēsliņi family, who open the opportunity for students to implement their aspirations– to acquire knowledge and grasp future perspectives,” emphasizes Signe Gerinoviča. “The scholarship gave me the opportunity to fully focus on the study process , especially writing my master's thesis. Given that the concept of niche diplomacy is relatively new , academic articles and research are not widely available free of charge. This scholarship provided access to these publications and the theoretical basis, which

Indriķis Muižnieks Nearly twenty years ago the Latvian system of research and higher education (academia) emerged in response to the social and economic crisis that destroyed the previous Soviet organizational structure of academia in Latvia. Influx of financial resources after Latvia joined the European Union provided additional 230 million lats to academia within a three years period (2006 to 2008). Regretfully, this money was used ignoring advice given by the World Bank analysts already in 2003.They strongly suggested a thorough reorganisation of the structure of academia and the establishment of resource centres for research and teaching. Instead the fragmentation of academia continued and many new state institutes for research and teaching came into being. At present, there are 60 public and private institutions of higher learning as well as 128 registered research institutes in Latvia. Taking into consideration the fact that there are only about3500 active researchers with Ph
