Recently, RSU Emeritus Professor Romāns Lācis, one of Latvia’s leading cardiac surgeons, celebrated a significant anniversary.
Researchers from Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) have participated in a large-scale international project, within the framework of which the most extensive microclimate data network in the history of sports competitions has been created during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. The project was implemented in collaboration with the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), University of Rome Foro Italico, and collaborating centres of the International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS).
This year, six teams and nine individual participants from Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) will join the international pre-incubation programme Green Hexagon, marking the largest representation of RSU in the programme to date.
Over the course of four months, they will collaborate with students from partner universities across Europe to develop sustainable business ideas and create solutions that advance healthcare and well-being, environmental responsibility, sustainable consumption, community development, and digital innovation.
