World Science Day

World Science Day for Peace and Development, celebrated annually on November 10, is an opportunity to highlight the significance of science in addressing global challenges and its contribution to sustainable development. Latvia proudly marks this day, emphasizing its notable achievements and contributions to the international scientific community.

Since 2010, Latvia has more than doubled its impact within the science community of European Union countries. Scientific collaboration has significantly increased, with around 50% of all results achieved in partnership with foreign scientific institutions.

The boundaries between various scientific fields are disappearing. Latvia's integrated science model is based on the value of knowledge, leading toward integrated science, value creation, a European dimension, and a knowledge-based society. Latvian scientists are engaged in outstanding research across a wide range of fields—from biomedical and sustainable energy solutions to the development of artificial intelligence, quantum algorithms, and innovations. This research activity is vital for both the local community and on a global scale, allowing Latvia to occupy a significant position within the European Research Area.
