and clarification provided by the director of the doctoral study programme in the Natural sciences, prof. Didzis Elferts, in which questions were posed by the students regarding the criteria of the credit points, the compulsory and elective courses. Dr. Inga Pudža, a former PhD student, was the invited speaker at the last session of the seminar, where she presented her PhD journey, including all of the hardships and wonderful moments, and presented extremely important advice and recommendations for the strategies of successful PhD defense. The personal experiences and challenges that Dr. Pudža shared were quite insightful, and the audience was very engaged and eager to learn about the challenges and successes that may be encountered on this journey. Following the formal session, PhD participants gathered at the bowling alley for a social event where they got to know one another better and exchanged various conversations while also having some fun.

Modern Language and Business Studies BSP 2nd year students Dana Žviriņa and Ilze Švarcbaha share their impressions about their first experience participating in an international conference: During the first lecture of Canadian cultural studies we were offered an opportunity to participate in the 12 th International Baltic Canadian Studies Conference organized by the members of the Department of English studies and Latvian Association for Canadian Studies and scheduled October 5-6, 2012. Though a challenge, an offer seemed a great opportunity, and we submitted our proposal “Themes and characters in Latvian and Canadian short animation from 2010 to present”. We analysed the selection of 20 state funded Latvian and Canadian short animations within the time period from 2010 to present to compare themes and characters in Latvian and Canadian (French-Canadian and English-Canadian) animations, and it was exciting to see the results of our analysis which let us conclude about ideological

of the night as we were crossing the Latvian-Russian border, our bus broke down. First, the driver gave us an optimistic prognosis – we would have to wait for 2 hours. Of course, in reality we had to wait for a much longer time. The exhausted exchange students felt like sardines packed in the limited space on bus. I think that those students will never forget that trip either. What has been your experience like with ESN? This type of experience is invaluable – skills of practical management, organising and time planning; of course, a better understanding of how to protect the interests of students at the European Commission. I have also established new contacts and met fantastic people from all over the world. I can assure you that ESN is part of my life and working in it changed my life significantly.Undeniably, ESN is hard work that requires time and also sleepless nights, but it is definitely worth it! A student’s “Thank you!” for an unforgettable semester in Latvia owing to ESN when they say

Between 22 and 26 March 2021, the virtual mobility of students from the FORTHEM alliance of European Universities took place at the University of Opole. The meeting entitled “Prospering in Academia” was attended by 26 students and PhD students from 7 countries representing all FORTHEM universities from Dijon, Jyväskylä, Mainz, Palermo, Riga, Valencia and Opole. The event at the UO was opened by the Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Izabella Pisarek, chairwoman of the FORTHEM Steering Committee at the University of Opole. Short-term collective mobility is an innovative activity of the FORTHEM alliance.

The proposal “Prospering in Academia” submitted by Prof. Katarzyna Molek-Kozakowska and Dr Michał Wanke from the Institute of Linguistics was approved in a competition
