November holds a special and symbolic place in Latvia’s history — it is a month when we commemorate the courage, freedom struggles, and the founding of our state. On 11 November, we mark Lāčplēsis Day, dedicated to Latvia’s freedom fighters, and on 18 November, we celebrate the Proclamation Day of the Republic of Latvia, when an independent Latvian state was founded in 1918. These events remind us of the perseverance, faith, and unity that have shaped our nation’s path.

RSU will be hosting a meeting of the Baltic Association of Neuropathologists (BAN), a subdivision of the European Confederation of Neuropathological Societies, on Friday, 24 October.

The Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) Institute of Public Health is one of the partners in the international project JADE Health (Joint Action addressing DEmentia and HEALTH), which aims to mitigate the burden of neurological disorders, including dementia, across Europe.

On 11 November 2025, Daiga Mieriņa, Speaker of the Saeima, will visit the RSU Medical Education Technology Centre (METC). During her visit, she will not only meet with RSU management, but also with the rectors of the Latvian University Association and other state universities to discuss current issues in higher education and research. 

A tour of the METC is also planned, where participants will learn about both the simulation equipment and military medical training opportunities.
