The overall aim of the doctoral school is to promote interdisciplinary studies of plants and soil by enriching experience of participating master and doctoral students. The students will learn about new research methods and get insight into the cutting-edge research in plant and soil science. Participation in the doctoral school will put the narrow research area pursued within students’ master and doctoral studies in a wider context, and will promote interinstitutional and multidisciplinary scientific cooperation. Specific tasks of the school: to promote cooperation between two doctoral programmes of UL in biology and environmental sciences, as well as between the Faculty of Biology UL and the Faculty of Geography and Earth Sciences in the field of studies and uses of natural resources; to increase scientific competence by involvement of researchers from other universities and research institutions, e.g., University of Daugavpils, Latvian Institute of Forest Research Silava

attainment, health and wellbeing, and life satisfaction. This wide spread consensus is evident by the results of a DfE survey of 880 schools in 2017 which showed that 97% of schools surveyed sought to promote desirable character traits among their students. Furthermore, a poll by Populus and the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues found that 87% of parents surveyed felt that schools should have a focus on character development. Therefore, character education has support from current policy makers, schools and parents. However, just fewer than 17% of the 880 schools surveyed as part of a DfE 2017 report into character education had a formalised plan or policy in place for character education. Furthermore, only 25% of schools had a dedicated lead for character education, although almost all (97%) schools sought to promote desirable character traits among their students. Currently, too much of school provision has a scattergun approach, lacking an underpinning rationale. In a report

and resource efficiency combined with an enormous reduction of GHG emissions. All improvements will be quantitated using life cycle assessment. The CO 2 EXIDE approach will bring together physicists, chemists, engineers and dissemination and exploitation experts from five universities/research institutions, three SMEs and two industries, innovatively joining their key technologies to develop and exploit an unprecedented process based on CO 2 , renewable energy and water to connect the chemical and energy sector. The project was funded by the EU in cooperation with SPIRE. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 768789.

About the Competition To broaden the scope of legal fields covered by national-level moot court competitions and to honor the founder of Latvian criminal law and criminal procedure, the Professor Pauls Mincs Moot Court Competition has been organized by the Student Council of the Faculty of Law at the University of Latvia since 2011. Participants in the competition have included students from the University of Latvia, Rezekne Academy of Technologies, Daugavpils University, the Latvian Business College, EIHSEBA Higher School, and Turība University. The judging panel has featured academics from various universities, judges, prosecutors, attorneys, as well as notable figures such as former Prosecutor General Ēriks Kalnmeiers and former Director of the Constitution Protection Bureau Jānis Maizītis. In addition to various other prizes, the winners of the competition receive a traveling statue of the goddess of justice, Themis , created by sculptor Edvīns Krūmiņš. This award

L material must be incorporated homogeneously. 5) Detailed spectral characterization of the composite material. 6) Development of the prototype demonstrating possible application of the composite material for covering the metallic objects shining in the dark. 7) Patenting of red light emitting PersL composite (the Latvian patent). Conditions for the successful realization of the Project. In the ISSP LU there is accessible all necessary equipment for realization of the project. The self-made set-ups together with modern commercial equipment are providing the successful fulfilment of the project. For realization of the project there are available renewed laboratory-rooms, which are fully ensuring the needs of providing experiments and processing of the results. These conditions are forming welcome and challenging working place for the students bound to the project, stimulating an evolution of their interests towards the science. Current position. During an implementation of the project

or by the notary. The University of Latvia accepts students from First and Second Division (upper class) only. Officially certified copies of the documents must be presented in original language and in English; It is recommended to submit all education documents for more qualitative recognition of education. Documents (education diploma and statement on punishability) have to be legalised. RESIDENCE PERMIT Documents for temporary residence permit have to be submitted: Personally in the Embassy of Latvia in Egypt (Cairo). Note! If you are still studying in last semester and don’t have a diploma, you can apply with provisional results from your school. You will need to submit an obtained diploma afterwards. Note! Applicants, who submit documents for temporary residence permit after August 20 th , have to choose express examination of documents for 10 days. If the residence permit obtaining process continues longer than expected, LU makes a decision on the commencement of study options

(supplements the "UL Guidelines for Scientific Publication and Publishing", approved by the Senate of the University of Latvia on 09.01.2017 by Decision No. 68) APPROVED In the UL Council of the Faculty of Computing 09.05.2017 Minutes No. 1.To whom does it apply? To all employees and students of the Faculty of Computing. 2.General considerations The mission of universities is to acquire, accumulate and disseminate knowledge as widely as possible. The result of scientific work is usually a publication in a scientific journal (or patent). The Faculty of Computing supports the publications of the faculty employees and students. 3.Choice of place of publication It is recommended to choose a publisher of the highest possible level (collection of articles from conference, journal): a) publishers with the highest possible impact factor – the first (Q1) or second (Q2) quartile (usually available on the publisher’s portal, see for example Information and Computation

"Programming with delight" (Latvian "Programmējam ar prieku") is a project supported by the University of Latvia Foundation and the patron "Mikrotīkls". It is implemented by Ivars Driķis, assistant professor and researcher at the University of Latvia Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry, creating a teaching aid for learning basic programming principles. 100 copies of the study material have been created during the implementation of the project. The complete set of teaching aids consists of a microcomputer, various modules and wires. What is the purpose? The practical outcome of the project is focused on educating pupils and students, and improving their skills. The produced didactic material will be used in the acquisition of the course "Computers and Software I" (DatZ1140) of Part A of the bachelor's study programme "Physics" implemented at the University of Latvia Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry. It will also be available in the UL Science Library

Sand and gravel, dolomite, clay, gypsum, limestone, quartz sand, peat, and other mineral deposits are valuable resources of sedimentary rock succession of Latvia. Considerable amounts of these resources are present in Latvia, but they need to be used rationally and sustainably. Geologists of the University of Latvia for decades have tradition to carry out mineral research in cooperation with material science specialists and companies of mineral mining and building material manufacturing. These traditions are continued by the scientific staff and students of the Geology Department. The research has been focused on the link between the dolomite structure and mechanical strength, the influence of the Devonian and Jurassic climate on the conditions of quartz sand formation, the impact of ancient underwater slump processes and glacial deformations on the quality of the Devonian clays. Research provides new knowledge about the sedimentary environments of valuable deposits, their diagenetic
