Already this Thursday, May 28, at 20:00, a new programme “Science in Latvia” will premiere on Radio SWH TV. In it, the programme’s host Gustavs Terzens will meet with the brightest minds in Latvia, whose ideas, research, and achievements resonate not only in Latvia but also around the world.

The new programme will introduce viewers to Latvian scientists, researchers, and innovators whose ideas and discoveries are shaping future technologies, solutions, and the landscape of knowledge.

“For me, a scientist is a hero. Just like a writer. And in Latvia, we have many such heroes who invent, create, and live in the world of high ideas — incredibly many. My task is to make their work known to a wider audience. That is why the programme ‘Science in Latvia’ was created,” says the programme’s host Gustavs Terzens.

“Science in Latvia” is a programme about people who think boldly, explore deeply, and create solutions that can change our understanding of technology, the environment, medicine, society, and the future. It will also invite viewers to look at science as a living, engaging, and very human process, in which ideas become discoveries, and discoveries become real change.

Watch the premiere of “Science in Latvia” on Thursday, May 28, at 20:00 on Radio SWH TV. Repeats on Sundays at 15:00.

In the opening episode, the focus will be on scientist Mārcis Eimanis, who will speak about a project being developed within the Biomedical and Photonics Research Platform for the creation of innovative products “BioPhoT”. The scientist will present and demonstrate a drone that operates not in the air, but underwater, in sand, and in snow. The conversation will also address opportunities for young scientists, the long‑term national research programme “BioPhoT”, and the upcoming participation in the global science symposium “Hello Tomorrow” in Amsterdam.

Watch the premiere of “Science in Latvia” on Thursday, May 28, at 20:00 on Radio SWH TV. Repeats on Sundays at 15:00.
