On the night of February 6th, students from the faculty of physics and mathematics ventured onto the frozen river Daugava between Akmens bridge and Dzelzcela bridge to express their shock and incomprehension at the 40% cut in government funding for higher education. Using peat, which they spread onto the ice, they formed the inscription “- 40%?” This huge cut in the budget applies not only to higher education and universities, but also to those sciences which are closely related to these universities. Consequently, those suffering from this cut in financing include scientific institutions and those researchers who work in them. The cuts will also have a detrimental effect on teaching staff and students who gain their experience in these institutions, carrying out scientific research and working on their bachelor’s, master’s, or doctor’s dissertations.

Noslēdzoties kārtējam studiju semestrim, MSB studenti sapulcējās ziemīgā 29. janvāra vakarā, lai kopīgi pārrunātu aizvadīto pusgadu, kā arī lai apsveiktu programmas direktori profesori Baibu Šavirņu ar nesen iegūto Francijas valsts godalgu - kavaliera pakāpes Akadēmiskā palmas zara ordeni. Neformālā gaisotnē tika stiprinātas profesionālās, akadēmiskās, koleģiālās un biedriskuma saites MSB studentu starptautiskajā kolektīvā. Tika apspriestas jauniegūtās zināšanas, iegūtā pieredze, ārzemju studentu iespaidi par Latvijā pavadīto laiku, kā arī daudz kas cits. Diemžēl no dažiem mūsu jaunajiem kolēģiem un draugiem nāksies šķirties uz nenoteiktu laiku, jo daži dosies uz ārzemju partneraugstskolām ERASMUS apmaiņas programmā. Taču mūsu draudzīgais un atvērtais kolektīvs ar nepacietību gaida pievienojamies jaunus studentus no Francijas, kuri ieradīsies pavasara semestrī dubultdiploma līguma ietvaros.

In the Small Assembly Hall of UL representatives of different companies and organizations such as AIESEC, the Baltic-American Freedom Foundation (BAFF), Rimi, Coca-Cola Hellenic, the State Employment Agency, Lattelecom, DnB NORD Bank and others offered students placement, job and study-abroad opportunities. At the fair students could meet their would-be employers, find out about companies’ expectations and job requirements, as well as submit CV and apply for a placement or job.Nikita, a third year student of the UL Faculty of Computing attended the Career Opportunity Day and was of the opinion that such an event is a much better chance of getting a job or placement; “if students have face-to-face contact to potential employers, it helps them decide whether they want to work for a particular company and to what degree expectations coincide with reality.” Lasma
