The biggest research event of Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU), RSU Research Week, marks the beginning of Open Science Month at the RSU Anatomy Museum. The exhibition Viewpoints: On Illusions, Perception and Why We See the World Differently will open on 30 March and run to 30 April. Optical illusions created by Italian scientist Baingio Pinna and Japanese scientist Akiyoshi Kitaoka will be on display, and guests will be able to attend popular science lectures and workshops on topics related to illusions, perception, and why we each see the world differently.
The aim of the Design Thinking Workshop is to generate at least two project ideas by identifying possible project themes and objectives, stakeholders with the capacity to implement the projects, activities to be carried out to achieve the set objective using design thinking methods. At the same time, the workshop will outline the financial resources needed to implement such ideas, as well as explore the current situation relevant to the project topic, possible obstacles, and opportunities to implement such projects.
