A year has passed since Latvia was struck by the news that a COVID-19 quarantine has been implemented, but even more important is the fact that it has been a year since the grand opening of Taiwan and the Baltic State Research Center on Physics.
A year, which was planned to be full of business trips and conferences has turned out differently. Nevertheless, even at times like these, the research did not halt and during this period through collaboration, the first research article has been published in an open-access journal Optics Express.
Furthermore, our plans are becoming even bigger and more ambitious. At the moment, a Latvia-Lithuania-Taiwan scientific collaboration project has been announced, through which new international contacts are made for achieving joint goals. At the end of April, anyone who is interested will have the opportunity to connect to a seminar online where scientists from both ISSP UL and NSYSU will talk about their latest research. Of course, we are all waiting for the situation with the pandemic to get better and stabilize, so we can have exchange trips to other countries. But until then, let us appreciate that thanks to the achievements of humanity, we can meet, debate and see each other while being thousands of miles away. There will be no celebration tonight but maybe let’s order a pizza?
Keep yourself and your family safe!
