The program goal is to develop a highly skilled scientific expertise in the area of innovative materials, signal processing and information technology enabling the local companies to produce competitive products that are based on the knowledge established in Latvia wherewith promoting export and Latvia’s economic growth. Considering that the development of new functional materials, signal processing and information technologies is not possible without the co-partnership of representatives of diverse natural sciences, computer sciences and engineering it is necessary for all of these multidisciplinary professionals to join in a close mutual collaboration. It can be carried out successfully when working on a single national research program and including the provided scientific research in five main tasks: The polyfunctional materials for radiation energy conversion, information record and keeping, carry and transformation as well as their efficient application in science

The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction to rapidly growing field of interdisciplinary performance studies: performance, performance art and performativity in various fields. The performance is analyzed both in the context of culture and society, paying a close attention to subjects such as performance and identity, performance and media, performance and politics, performance as research, as well as performance within the context of the development of new technologies. Course tasks: 1) to provide knowledge of interdisciplinary aspects of peformance, their functionality in the society and the arts; 2) to raise awareness of interactive communication elements and persuasion techniques in context of the topics of the course; 3) developing the critical thinking of students; 4) developing skills of the analysis of peformative texts and the use of performative methods in research and presenting it's results.
