EXAFS Spectroscopy Laboratory ( EXAFS Lab ) focuses on the study of materials structure using synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The aim of the laboratory is to develop the method of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and its application in material science, to maintain high ISSP UL potential in the field and to expand further the ISSP UL cooperation with the existing and new European Union synchrotron radiation centers. Our experimental possibilities include but are not limited to several techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy, confocal spectromicroscopy and X-ray diffraction. We use advanced theoretical calculations and simulations of experimental data to gain insight on the structure-property relationships in materials. Our laboratory is also involved in the teaching process at the University of Latvia and provides students with opportunities to participate in research activities during Bachelor, Master and Doctoral level programs.

The objective of the “Sport, Technology and Public Health” study programme is to provide students with the possibility of obtaining academic university education in sports and related sciences by promoting the acquisition of knowledge and skills that lead to the development of competencies for research and professional activities in sports and related sciences in the context of technological development and public health. The programme offers cross-disciplinary sports science studies consisting of three topical blocks: (1) Sport study courses providing basic and specialised expertise in the sports sector; (2) technology study courses and transversal topics related to the use of technology in sports research, the sports industry, collecting and analysing data on everyday sports activities; (3) courses in public health studies and transversal topics focusing on socio-economic aspects that have an impact on the quality of life, athletic achievements and health of society in a wider

Astronomy has so far been taught mainly as part of the school physics course, but from the 2022/2023 school year it is also possible to take astronomy as a separate course in secondary school. From the 2020/2021 school year, a team of Latvian pupils is participating in the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics. To give pupils, students and teachers the opportunity to develop and deepen their knowledge of astronomy, the "Astronomy for Secondary School: an Advanced Course" – a series of 9x4 lessons on astronomy topics – has been developed: Spherical astronomy Astronomical instruments Elements of celestial mechanics Cosmonautics Solar system Fundamentals of astrophysics Stars Milky Way and other galaxies Cosmology Videos, presentations and links to web resources on relevant topics can be found when participants register for the open access course: ej.uz/astrokurss .

The Institute of Clinical and Preventive Medicine of the University of Latvia (UL) was founded to develop research in the fields of oncology and preventive oncology, as well as tuberculosis and septicemia; to carry out organised pilot studies to optimize cancer screening, and to carry out a unique population study in Europe for gastrointestinal cancer prevention (GISTAR). The Institute develops common patients’ with tumours and other patients’ biobanks intended to be part of the National Biobank structure. Workplaces for doctoral students, post-doctoral scientists and other new scientists are created on the basis of the Institute. Residents and students are attracted to research work. The Institute cooperates closely with Latvian research and medical institutions, private sector, as well as with the leading research institutions in the Baltic region, Europe, the United States of America and Asia. The Institute's activities are interdisciplinary. The Institute carries out research
