to the development of science in Latvia as a whole – a new and topical research direction (polar research) will be developed in Latvia. Thus, the recognition of Latvia and Latvian scientists in the world will be promoted. Based on the results and experience gained during the project implementation, several courses of the Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral study programs in Geography and Geology at the University of Latvia will be modernized and improved. Students who successfully complete these courses will have the opportunity to participate in future expeditions to the polar regions. Latvian society will be educated about current problems related to the melting of Antarctic glaciers and its consequences. Realization: April 2017 – April 2018. The expedition will be realized from February to March, in 2018. Project implementation includes preparation and planning of the expedition, implementation and analysis of post-expedition data and publication of results. The project is being implemented thanks

In the first quarter of the project, work was carried out in the research activity <WP1> "WTe2 growth". To develop growth methods of high-quality WTe2/hBN heterostructures, effort was focused on the following tasks: 1) setting up the equipment. Even though the University of Latvia, Institute of Chemical Physics (hereinafter UL-ICP) has all the necessary infrastructure for growth of WTe2 by the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), it was decided to install a setup designated for these specific syntheses. 2) To select the most suitable growth strategies. In the project activity <WP1> it was initially planned to develop two CVD approaches - a) from WTe2 and b) WCl6/W(CO)6 /Te precursors. However, the mentioned precursors oxidize rapidly / are unstable under ambient conditions hence WO3/NaCl was chosen for the initial syntheses. 3) Determination of the “growth parameter window” for obtaining WTe2, initially using Si/SiO2 substrates. The project's team was joined by two students

The aim of the course is to deepen participants’ knowledge of the essence of communication in tertiary teaching and learning, to analyze current scientific literature and one’s own professional action, and to apply the new ideas in planning, leading and assessing the process of teaching and learning and promoting one’s own professional growth. Special attention is paid to psychological aspects of tertiary teaching and learning, to the essence and functions of pedagogical communication and possibilities of its enhancement. Educators’ personality is looked upon as a promoter of achievement of course goals. In theoretical classes newest scientific ideas of specifics of communication in nowadays teaching and learning, educators’ psychological-pedagogical competence, features of students’ personalities and opportunities of enhancing pedagogical communication are analyzed. In seminars and practical classes educators work on their skills of communication, cooperation, assessment

The course provides an opportunity to study the basics of the international human rights law and the implementation of the international human rights standards in the Baltic States. At the beginning of the course there will be an introduction in the basics of international law and human rights law, models of interrelation between the national and international law in order to facilitate the better understanding of the course for those students who do not have a legal background. The course comprises the study of the international human rights protection system and the main United Nations human rights treaties. This is followed by the analysis of the human rights protection system established in Europe and its impact on the development of human rights in the Baltic States. The final part of the course is devoted to the comparative study of international human right standards in the Baltic States, the progress and problems identified in their implementation. Furthermore, the human

All Erasmus+ trainees must take mandatory online foreign language assessments (tests) in the OLS system before and at the end of the internship . This must be done by trainees whose main working language of mobility is English, French, German, Italian, Spanish or Dutch. The purpose of the online foreign language tests is to allow a trainee to ascertain the level of foreign language knowledge prior to the period of Erasmus+ internship, as well as to assess progress after the Erasmus+ internship. After signing the Erasmus+ agreement (grant agreement), the trainee's e-mail addresses will be entered into the OLS system. Afterwards, trainees will receive automated e-mails from the OLS system with a link to the online foreign language test. The trainee will be given a certain number of days to complete the online foreign language test. If the trainee does not pass the online foreign language test in a timely manner, he/she will be barred from performing the test. In this case

Auziņa Course languages: Latvian and English The aim of the course is to provide profound and specialized knowledge of corpus linguistics development, its role, the creation and application of text corpora in various areas of linguistics and in the context of digital humanities. Encourage the solving of complex corpus linguistics tasks by the application of recent methodology and tools. Objectives : 1. to enhance students’ understanding of the role of corpus linguistics and its potential in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research in various areas of linguistics and in the context of digital humanities. 2. to upgrade students’ skills of various linguistic data extraction and analysis approaches in corpora of different types and sizes, create solutions to complex linguistic problems related to topical digital information and content. 3. to promote students’ ability to analyse the theories on corpora creation approaches, stages

The specialists who graduate from the Department of Optometry and Vision Science work as assistants to optometrists in opticians’ shops and clinics, helping to make the necessary assessments and measurements of visual functions or instructing the patients in the use and care of contact lenses. The skills acquired during the study internship also allow the graduates to become opticians or consultants of visual ergonomics. Some students become researchers of vision and embark upon a career in science. Graduates of the professional master's study programme "Optometry" have an opportunity to become medical practitioners – optometrists. Studies in the Department of Mathematics provide an academic knowledge base necessary to become highly-qualified professionals in the applications of mathematics in the national economy – mathematical modelling, mathematical statistics, science and teaching mathematics at all levels. The specialists who have graduated from

The study programme has been developed on the basis of the professional standard of a senior labour protection specialist, as well as taking into account the latest results of the research organized by OSHA-EU on trends in the development of work environment risks and EC references to priorities. It focuses on the needs of a changing society and the labour market by developing skills that will ensure that the acquired abilities and competences are in line with future trends of the sphere.
