Students will be able to choose from various multidisciplinary programmes that are going to be organised by partner universities between March 2022 and August 2022; student applications for these activities will be open on October 29th . During the previous two rounds, 26 collective short term mobility programmes were selected.

Here is some feedback from students who have already participated in short-term mobility activities: Alexis Gorce (University of Burgundy): ”This mobility programme was perfect for me since I am currently studying for a master’s degree in Food Science and also because I would like to pursue my studies in food microbiology. Improving my English was another motivating factor

Given the current situation with staff cuts and comparatively high rents, UL Faculty of History and Philosophy is moving to smaller and more cost-efficient premises in Old Riga. On December 22 the removal of Faculty of History and Philosophy plaque took place, followed by a collective walk to the new faculty quarters in Marstalu Street 28/30. The faculty plaque was removed by its dean, Professor Gvido Straube, who has been the dean of UL Faculty of History and Philosophy since 2001. Afterwards, 100 faculty students took a symbolic collective walk to the new faculty premises carrying along their chairs. The beginnings of the faculty can be found already in 1919 when the history programme was included in the Latvia Higher School (LHS) Faculty of Philology and Philosophy – its quarters were in the current main UL building in Raiņa Boulevard 19. Later it was divided into the Faculty of History and the Faculty of Philology, while in 1970 it was renamed as the Faculty of History

of sustainable development. BUP students’ conferences are attended not only by those whose studies are related to the environment, but also by students of other specialities; thus, different opinions are voiced leading to a broader view of the specific issue. Moreover, it is shown that students who study other subjects, for example, economics, public relations, or chemistry, are also interested in global environmental problems, and in public activity towards sustainable development. Apart from knowledge, new experience and awareness, BUP students’ events provide an opportunity to obtain new friends from all countries of the Baltic Sea region. Such events show that there are people who share the same views also in other countries, and it promotes cooperation at international level in the implementation of common ideas.
