and in excess of 30 posters discussed, bringing together scientists from more than 30 universities and 20 different countries. Thanks to the close contacts and cooperation forged and sustained by the members of the Faculty of Law of the University of Latvia with universities in other countries, the conference and the papers, ideas and theses presented at it will have a lasting impact on the legal science and its development both locally and internationally. The thematic framework of the 8th International Scientific Conference was related to the new challenges the world is facing, and they do not concern solely the pandemic that has broken out all over the world, but also involve digital change, the new era of social networks and technologies that will change the fabric of society, and possibly even national policies. In keeping pace with these global changes, the science of law must also evolve and provide solutions for new challenges. The conference papers covered current and dynamically

For me the cooperation with University of Latvia is one of the most interesting and enriching programme we have and that I'm decided to contribute as much as I can , that it continues to grow and become a very longstanding and rich partnership” says professor Hoffman.Students are glad and satisfied with participation in such a project: „I believe that this was a great opportunity to co-operate with French students in order to achieve a common goal and secondly, it allowed us to gain new contacts and also share different experiences, admits 3rd year student of International Economics and Commercial Diplomacy Margarita Zaboļejeva – Zotova. On the other hand, as Ieva Brice points out, „the cooperation with University of Lyon was very exciting – as a result very useful material about the business environment was created and our work was appreciated. This gives an additional stimulus

by high population mobility – more than 10% of Latvian nationals live outside its borders. To date, the representation of Latvia's interests in international organisations, the shaping of the country's image and the strengthening of international influence have been implemented through classical instruments of foreign policy and diplomacy. In recent years, however, the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (largely thanks to the initiatives and pressure of professionals living abroad) has decided to develop targeted and systemic cooperation with professionals working in international organisations in order to acquire the necessary knowledge and contacts to advance Latvia's interests and to perform foreign policy tasks more successfully, as well as to provide support for the international careers of Latvian nationals. This paper will focus on Latvia’s diaspora professionals working in international organisations, on their experiences of cooperation with state institutions and networking

Team H2ONICS, with the idea of developing powerful ultraviolet radiation sources to produce hydrogen more efficiently and cost-effectively, won the international Hydrogen X Future Hackathon organized at the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL). The main goal of the Hydrogen X Future Hackathon was, together with leading Latvian companies and organizations, to highlight hydrogen and other renewable energy sources as alternative, high-potential energy sources to existing ones, thus promoting a carbon-neutral course in Latvia, Europe, and the world. The importance of this topic was demonstrated by the dozens of highly motivated hackathon participants who worked hard for three days on innovative and future-oriented ideas, finding potential solutions, gaining valuable knowledge, and expanding their network of contacts thanks to experienced mentors and industry professionals - experts representing hackathon partners. During the three days of the event

The QCS consortium is constituted by eight high level partners from seven countries. The consortium is interdisciplinary: 4 teams have mostly computer science background, 2 teams consist of a mixture of physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists, and 2 teams have mostly physics background. This consortium has the ideal balance to enable the kind of cross fertilization which was so essential for the initial development of quantum information sciences, and which more recently gave rise to novel ideas in quantum computing and cryptography, such as quantum random walks, adiabatic quantum algorithms, device independent quantum cryptography.

Students of Finno-Ugric Studies of the University of Latvia (UL) are proud to announce that in May 2020, the 36th International Finno-Ugric Students' Conference (IFUSCO) will take place in Riga. IFUSCO was first organized in 1984 in Göttingen, Germany, to promote contacts among Finno-Ugric students. 26 students from the Netherlands and Germany participated. Currently, the conference is held every year in a different city (and preferably in a different country) and is hosted by students from different universities. The conference has been organized in cities like Helsinki, Budapest, Munich and many others. The 2018 conference at the University of Tartu represented 12 countries with more than 170 students. But in 2019 the University of Vienna hosted the IFUSCO where University of Latvia representatives for the first time in 35 years were granted the honour of hosting the conference in Riga, Latvia. IFUSCO is an annual conference organised by students for students. This year

The University of Latvia offers students the opportunity to start studies in the Dual Award bachelor's study programme in Computer science, which has been developed in cooperation with the University of Lincoln in the United Kingdom. The studies will be conducted in English, and at the end of the studies, graduates will receive degrees from both universities. Apply now! Computer science is now a very topical study direction. The demand for professionals in the field is high, and there are many potential career opportunities. Computer science is present in almost all industries - business and commerce, medicine and other natural science areas, the public sector, and public entertainment - in all these areas, there are numerous challenges and opportunities for students to develop their aspired careers. Studies imply not just acquiring the knowledge and skill of creating a computer program, they create the possibility for students to reach broader horizons, develop contacts and find
