CONFERENCE
During the meeting Rectors discussed the ongoing co-operation in implementing a joint teachers’ training programme offering a joint degree, initially launching language and math teachers’ professional programmes. These as excellence programmes are to set higher admission requirements.
Future co-operation areas were also discussed, in particular strategic projects for the new EU planning period. In addition, possible directions in research excellence were examined to prevent their doubling at the Universities and to ensure the efficient use of recent large investments in scientific infrastructure. To elaborate on the issue, the University Vice- rectors are planning to meet in December, in Riga.
