University of Latvia Campus future vizualization In recent years, students' demands and needs for university accommodation have changed significantly: privacy and the need to live alone, private toilets and showers, as well as opportunities to relax, study or engage in a variety of activities with other students, are becoming increasingly important. The House of Students and Guests project could address these needs - by building a new student hotel with 475 beds in the territory of the UL Campus. It is planned to create a modern and pleasant environment in the house, taking an example from Western European universities. The University is currently working on financial and economic calculations for the project, exploring the possibility of implementing the project in a public-private partnership (PPP) model. The University will inform the public as soon as a decision is made on the implementation of this project.

The study course is designed as a think tank, with the aim to ensure the participants with the opportunity to create a research environment and to develop a research project in cooperation with lecturers and social partners. The scaffolding process will allow students from various disciplines of education to become aware of the possibilities of integrating different research designs into educational research and to delve into the essence of evaluation and participatory action research designs. It will allow doctoral students to assess their current vision of educational problems and to identify ways to transform education considering the principles of sustainability, as well as to develop skills in conducting action research and/or evaluation research to address a complex topical educational issue. The course focuses on establishing and developing students’ understanding of transdisciplinarity, complexity, and sustainable education/development, as well as their interaction
