The Spring intake orientation event Welcome Week 2026, held from 27 to 31 January, has successfully concluded. Over four days, new international students were introduced to Rīga Stradiņš University’s academic environment and study process, student life, as well as the culture of Riga and Latvia. The programme also gave students the chance to get to know each other and build connections before the start of the spring semester.
Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) continues work on a new infrastructure development project — the development of the RSU Study and Dentistry Centre on the Dzirciems campus. A key stage in the project has now been reached: two major contracts have been signed, enabling the start of design work and ensuring professional project supervision.
