On October 5, 2009, the second stage of restoring the students’ punishment cell begins and it will take two weeks. A small room at UL main building preserves the evidence of the first educational establishment in Latvia – Riga Polytechnic Institute. Time gives things value, as well as damages them – the punishment cell during its 135 years has suffered losses - a great part of historical inscriptions and drawings have gradually faded away because of the dust, humidity and human impact. The University students put in the punishment cell for violations of internal rules used to kill their time by drawing and writing things, expressing themselves on the walls. The attractiveness of these inscriptions and the punishment cell as such has been confirmed by more than 2,000 people who visited it during ‘Museum Night 2009’ - the very first time UL Museum of History participated in it. The restoration work began in 2008; in cooperation with the UL Museum of History and the Academic

The University of Latvia (UL) Faculty of Chemistry (FC) is the centre for academical and professional education in chemistry, where students work toward becoming professional chemists, labour protection specialists or teachers of science and mathematics. The UL FC teaching staff consists of highly qualified scientists, researchers and industry specialists. The faculty has established an extensive cooperation network with leading research institutes and industry companies in Latvia, enabling the students to establish a close contact with industry professionals and actively participate in advanced scientific research. The faculty offers a number of study programmes: Chemistry Bachelor's and Master's Degree Programmes, which have obtained European quality labels – Eurobachelor in Chemistry in 2012 and Euromaster in Chemistry in 2017. The faculty students also have ample opportunities to participate in Erasmus exchange programmes in more than 20 countries. Student life at the faculty

UL Library offers an elective course (part C) “Introduction to information literacy” (2 credit points) for bachelor program students. It is taught by librarians who will share their skills to search, evaluate and organize information. Course “Introduction to information literacy” has been taught in Latvian for three years and after receiving positive feedback we have prepared it in English aswell. During the course students will learn about different types of resources and how to find them in catalogs and databases. The topic of academic honesty, referencing and organization, which is particularly relevant for students preparing for course and bachelor's thesis, will also be discussed in depth. The training will be organised online, thus students will be able to learn materials independently and to watch recordings of lessons at a time convenient for themselves. The course is organized remotely so students from different faculties can participate and arrange it with the rest

. One of the biggest events for international exchange students of all Northern Europe is the Sea Battle in which exchange students from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia Sweden, Norway and Denmark take part. This is an event on a ferry, where through various activities the exchange students can better integrate within student environment. In the future ESN plans to organise trips to CIS countries such as Belarus and Ukraine. We also organise sports activities – for example paintball tournaments and for the 4 th time we will participate in Nordea Riga marathon and UL Sport’s games. Of course the priorities to participate in these events have the international exchange students, however, there is a number of other events that also Latvian students can take part in – those are thematic evenings and parties when celebrating Halloween, St. Patrick’s day among others. We also organise national culture evenings where students from different countries present their traditional costumes, national

The expert Group "Diversity and Inclusion" organised a workshop towards FORTHEM Alliance students on micro aggressions. This last month, we have had the pleasure to organize two Diversity and Inclusion workshops dedicated to microaggressions and discriminations in the university context. Students from our different partner universities all gathered and shared their opinions and approaches on discriminations they have either experienced or witnessed. Exercises and discussions were carried out in order to exchange perspectives about what identity is, what it feels to belong or to not belong to a group, and what stereotypes and microassaults mean. We would like to thank the students for participating and our FORTHEM colleagues for setting up such a nice project.

Pedagoģijas, psiholoģijas un mākslas fakultātes  4. kursa studenti, topošie skolotāji, īstenojuši projektu ar mērķi atbalstīt un izglītot skolotājus par jaunākajām tehnoloģijām, kā arī attīstīt viņu iemaņas, kuras pielietot ikdienas mācību procesa laikā. Pēdējais gads ir bijis izaicinājumu pilns.Gandrīz ikviens cilvēks ir piedzīvojis izmaiņas savā ikdienā, taču skolotājus ārkārtas situācija valstī ir skārusi īpaši. Zibenīgā ātrumā skolotājiem bija jāpielāgojas attālinātajam mācību formātam, lai gan daudzi arī šodien nejūtas pārliecināti savās prasmēs jēgpilni izmantot tehnoloģijas. Pieradums pie vienas platformas izmantošanas veidojas ātri, tačuko darīt tiem skolotājiem, kuriem atkal ir jāapgūst platforma tiešsaistes nodarbībām no jauna? Pārrunājot problēmas saistībā ar attalinātajām mācībām, studenti nolēma atbalstīt skolotājus un piedāvājaiespēju apgūt Microsoft Teams platformu.

1) LU DF 2nd year doctoral student Maksims Ivanovs with the topic "Applications of Explanatory Artificial Intelligence in Medicine". Artificial intelligence has a number of promising applications in medicine, as it allows large and large amounts of data to be processed and analyzed quickly and accurately. However, there are also a number of significant barriers to its use in clinical settings, the main one being that the most effective AI methods are often also the most opaque: for example, deep artificial neural networks, which are widely used in image and other data processing, act as “black boxes". To make the models of artificial intelligence more understandable and transparent, the methods of explanatory artificial intelligence are used, which will be discussed in this presentation. 2) LU MF 1st year doctoral student Ilze Troice Neilande with the topic "Post-mortem interval determination according to the development of insects and bacteria in pig carcasses in Latvia
