| Greetings from Mikael Östling, Deputy President from KTH Royal Institute of Technology |  |
Dear Director Rutkis, It is with my greatest pleasure to hear about your 40th anniversary of the Institute of Solid State Physics ISSP. It is also with the greatest enthusiasm that we just recently have started to collaborate in the European project CAMART and CAMART2. I'm very positive that the new possibility of bringing our research and educational activities much closer together. The way forward will always be through high quality international collaboration. I truly hope that your celebration will be successful and I wish you the best of success with the Annual Scientific conference and for the next 40 years for ISSP. |
| Greetings from Director of VBLHEP Vladimir Kekelidze (in picture) and Head of the VBLHEP Department Sergey Tyutyunnikov |  |
Dear Professor Martin Rutkis! Dear Professor Andris Sternberg! Accept our sincere congratulations on the anniversary of your Institute of Solid State Physics at the University of Latvia. Long-term scientific contacts have been connected in the past and are now continuing in the field of research of condensed matter on both synchrotron radiation beams and neutron beams of our IBR-2 reactor. Your school on ferroelectrics, physical methods of interpretation absorbance spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation beams is widely known in Russia. Your leading research associate, Alexei Kuzmin, takes an active part in the work of the JINR Program and Advisory Committee on Condensed Matter Physics. At present, your colleagues take an active part in the preparation of a scientific program at the NICA Collider, which is being developed at JINR, within the framework of applied research. On behalf of the Laboratory of High Energy Physics, accept our congratulations. We wish your team and you personally good health, prosperity, great scientific achievements. |

Apsveicu CFI 40 gadu darbības jubiljā un vēlu CFI turpināt tās nozīmīgo un raženo darbu vēl daudz gadus! |
| Greetings from Dr. Jiri Kulda, Senior scientific consultant at Institut Laue-Langevin |  |
I am honnoured by your kind invitation to share with you the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of your institute. Unfortunately I have already other engagements foreseen on the dates of your meeting, so that I will not be able to participate in it. Please accept my congratulations to your achievements over the past four decades. My thoughts go to all those who have contributed to the remarkable history of your institute and with whom I had the occasion to communicate in the past - here I am thinking of Andris Sternberg in first row. I am wishing good luck and success in future activities to you personnally and to all of your colleagues. I am sure the colaborators of the ILL and its directors Prof. H. Schober and Prof. M. Johnson are joining me in my wishes. |

Daudz laimes CFI jubilejā un novēlu meklēt un atrast jaunus, vēl nebijušus vai arī vēl neieraudzītus pētījumu laukus un objektus. Varbūt jauna atklāsme parādās, ar tālāku un daudz skaidrāku skatu aplūkojot it ka zināmas, šķietami triviālas lietas. Labs piemērs tam ir grafēns, kuru ar izolācijas lenti un vienkāršiem, bet dziļiem eksperimentiem vēl nesen izzināja Geims un Novoselovs. Mācīt un iedvesmot studentus us šādu svaigu skatu uz lietām, kā arī vienmēr apšaubīt it kā zināmas patiesības, ko izpauž prominenti zinātnieki. Studenti paši par tādiem kļūs neticami īsā laikā, nekautrējieties būt ambiciozi - "think Big"- ja tikai tam ir iekšējs segums! Vēl vēlu intensīvu progresu jaunos pētījumos, atrast jaunus virzienus un iesaistīt pēc iespējas vairāk studentu! |
| Greetings form Prof.dr. Tony Donné, the first Programme Manager for the consortium EUROfusion |  |
I congratulate the Institute of Solid State Physics of the University of Latvia with its 40th Anniversary. I regret that I cannot attend the celebration on February 23rd, but I look forward to visit ISSP in the course of 2018 to see the facilities and to have discussions on the excellent contributions of ISSP to EUROfusion, which are strongly focused on the important field of materials and plasma-facing components. I wish the Institute and all its personnel a very good ceremony and of course all the best for the next 40 years. |
