Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) will host a #BeActive Day 2026 warm-up event, launching this year's European-wide physical activity initiative in Latvia.

The event will present this year's #BeActive Day program, discuss cooperation opportunities and initiatives to promote physical activity in Latvia. The focus of this year's initiative is on the role of physical activity in strengthening mental health and well-being.

The postpartum period in a woman’s life is often associated with joy and a new beginning. In reality, however, for some new mothers it is also a psychologically challenging time. Until quite recently, postpartum depression as a public health issue in Latvia had been insufficiently studied and was only recognised in practice in a fragmented way. Public attention to a new mother’s mental health is most often drawn only in severe or crisis situations, yet emotional difficulties much more often go unnoticed and unsupported in time.

Are you a health professional, resident, or student looking to establish a career in academics or research? This hands-on, basic-level workshop is designed for individuals with little to no prior knowledge of systematic reviews (SR). Participants will move past theory and learn how to actively jumpstart their own research output.
