Description
The project's main objective is to strengthen international cooperation and research capacity of the Daugavpils University and its partners. The project will facilitate a widening of international research experiences, especially with Northern countries. The experience of the icelandic donor project partner will be useful for the Latvian partners in terms of strengthening the scientific and academic capacity of their personnel. The project will provide the possibility to elaborate common research and scientific projects in the future, further exchange of students and staff, and continuing current successful experience of mutual cooperation between Latvian and Icelandic HEIs. The project will impact, first of all, the scope and quality of international cooperation and international research activity of the Project Promoter (Daugavpils University), and the Project Partners (University of Akureyri in Iceland, Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Riga Stradins University).
