82 new products and technologies have been developed by postdocs in Round 1 of the postdoctoral program. Most of them have been assessed by foreign experts as meeting the definition of a new product or technology and have been recognized as commercialisable in the future.
132 applications have been implemented in Round 1 of the postdoctoral program. Of these, 121 have now been evaluated. One is still being evaluated and seven are still ongoing. Three applications were terminated for various reasons. Among the closed research applications, 22 postdocs have received an excellent rating of 100% for their research, while the majority of applications received final report ratings between 81% and 99%.
During the research applications, postdocs not only developed various new research concepts, products, and technologies but also described them in scientific articles. A total of 574 scientific articles were produced and published in the first selection round. The highest number of scientific articles, 160, was published in the Latvian Smart Specialisation Strategy Area Smart Materials, Technologies, and Engineering Systems.
