The campaign held by ice cream brand ''Mr. Big'' has ended and new equipment purchased

Campaign finished! Until the end of July, 1 euro cent was donated for each Mr.Big ice cream purchased to support young researchers at the University of Latvia (UL). The project was implemented with the administrative support of the University of Latvia Foundation.

This summer, ice cream was a much coveted desire, it was not only refreshing but also benevolent. By purchasing any ice cream from the manufacturer’s "Balbiino" brand "Mr.Big", 1 euro cent was directed to the improvement of the working environment of UL researchers. Thanks to donations, the range of UL laboratory equipment was supplemented with new equipment.

The campaign "Go Big or Go Home" has managed to collect a donation (5308 EUR) and new equipment for the Faculty of Biology of the University of Latvia has been purchased. Equipment for the sterilization of reagents, microbiological growth media, materials and instruments required for the performance of molecular methods was purchased. The purchased autoclaves with accessories will facilitate the daily work of the Faculty of Biology, the Faculty of Chemistry, the Faculty of Geography and Earth Sciences, the Institute of Biology and the Institute of Microbiology. Young researchers will have the opportunity to conduct important scientific research in the natural sciences in a timely manner!

The lottery campaign was created by the advertising agency "Havas Latvia".

Thank you!
