High school students now have the opportunity to develop their own scientific research paper (SRP) in the field of energy and engineering in collaboration with researchers from the Swiss–Latvian Cooperation Programme project LACISE under the "Applied Research" initiative
Research Topics for Students
At present, students can develop their SRP at the Energy Materials Laboratory of the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia, on the following topics:
- The potential for hydrogen production from various household aluminium-containing waste materials;
- The possibilities of hydrogen application when obtained from industrial aluminium-containing waste.
- Opportunity to Propose Own Topic
- Students are also invited to propose their own research topics related to current energy challenges, such as:
- Next-generation battery technologies,
- hydrogen production and storage solutions,
- stability and sustainability of energy supply systems.
The scientific research papers will be developed in collaboration with the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science, or Riga Technical University.
Benefits for Students
Participation in the research process offers students the opportunity to collaborate with professional researchers, gain practical experience in laboratory work and experimentation, understand the principles of scientific thinking and the research process from idea to result, and build a strong foundation for future studies in engineering, energy, or environmental technology fields.
