CONFERENCE
The motto of this year’s conference – “University of the Future – Impact-Based Leadership” – emphasized the role of the university in knowledge creation, societal development and sustainable solutions.
On April 16, 2026, Professors Inguna Skadiņa and Normunds Grūzītis presented the main results and future plans of the Language Technology Initiative. Looking back on what has been achieved since 2023, we can be proud that we have achieved the set goals:
- Train at least 820 students and professionals;
- Develop at least 5 study modules (at least 9 ECTS each);
- Train at least 12 young professionals who can teach language technologies in universities;
- Develop at least 10 scientific publications (Q2 or ACL Anthology).
However, we are happy about all the achievements that are not included in these goals, including participation in various important projects, such as Balsutalka.lv and the “Tilde” learning platform!
The section “Latest achievements in computer science, IT and their applications” at the University of Latvia conference is dedicated to the most up-to-date research, technological innovations, and practical solutions in the fields of computer science and information technology. It will cover topics such as data analytics, software engineering, cybersecurity, high-performance computing, and the application of digital systems across various industries. The section promotes knowledge exchange between academia and industry, emphasizing the interaction between theory and practice. Special attention will be given to innovative solutions, sustainable digital development, and the role of IT in the transformation of society and the economy.
The 84th International Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia took place from 14 to 16 April 2026.
