In solidarity with the Ukrainian academic community, several Latvian universities are offering refuge to faculty members, Ph.D. students, and their families, and inviting them to continue their war-disrupted research work in Latvia. Budget places and scholarships are also available.
The Latvian Minister of Education and Science Anita Muižniece stressed the importance of ensuring continuity of studies and expressed her support for Ukrainian scientists and academic staff. Latvia is ready to offer work opportunities in related scientific institutions to ensure the continuity of research topics.
The UL will provide all possible support to the Ukrainian students studying at the University, as well as the academic staff. The University of Latvia governance and the Senate have discussed further possibilities of assistance to Ukrainian scientists, offering them the opportunity to continue their research at the University of Latvia.
Our Institute of Solid State Physics also offers support to Ukrainian scientists and students to continue their research work in Latvia due to the war:
- By conducting research (infrastructure, data processing);
- In the development of doctoral theses, which could be defended in cooperation with the University of Latvia or RTU;
- By organization of visits for a small period.
