Liepaja University PhD student Dzintars Jankovskis, active participant in TED4LAT project, presenting his research “Digital Twins and E-Learning: Challenges and Opportunities.” in 5th International Conference on Higher Education Learning Methodologies and Technologies Online, September 13-15, 2023 Foggia, Italy. Scientific advisors Iveta Cīrule and Anna Carbone
The Horizon Europe project “TED4LAT” team (Atis Kapenieks, Anita Jansone, Lāsma Ulmane – Ozoliņa, Aleksandrs Gorbunovs, Jānis Kapenieks sen. and Guna Jākobsone-Šņepste) participated in the congress to present the project, attract future cooperation partners and motivate doctoral students to go on exchange trips, to expand the network of cooperation.
The project is picking up speed!
On June 1, Riga Technical University researcher Ieva Vītoliņa participated in the 81st international scientific conference of the University of Latvia and presented the TED4LAT project and the research conducted within it.
On June 2, the Seventh Annual International Conference on Innovations and Creativity was held at the University of Liepāja. The theme of the conference was digitization and artificial intelligence, how to meaningfully use it in a modern environment. TED4LAT participant – Atis Kapenieks and young scientists – Dzintars Jankovskis and Arturs Mietulis talked about the research that is being developed in the project.
At the high-level expert conference “Digitalization of education: new solutions for transformation in action”, which was organized by the association “Latvijas Formula 2050” and Riga Technical University in cooperation with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development, JSC “Latvijas Valsts Radio und Televīzijas Centrs”, the representative office of the European Commission in Latvia, SIA “Latvijas Mobilais Telefons”, experts discussed current solutions and future challenges in the digitalization of education, including innovations in various forms and levels of education.
The TED4LAT project was mentioned as a good example of how to promote the digitization of the country and build education at the doctoral level in the digital age.
During the workshops, we got acquainted with interesting Latvian and foreign projects and scientific works, such as “Case study and experience from BOSC” (Kaspars Skalbergs, director of the Baltic Open Solution Center) “Wellbeing Monitoring: Environmental data and Dynamics System Modelling” (Riga Technical University group ), “Digital Twins and E-learning: Challanges and Oppurtunities” (Dzintars Jankovskis, University of Liepāja), Tautvidas Rančelis (Tautvydas Rančelis) from Vilnius University, who presented the topic “Tools to predict human behavior traits from genome data” and others.
Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences and TED4LAT researcher Ginta Majore says: “The workshops were valuable mainly because for the first time doctoral students and young researchers met and shared their experiences in person. Today we worked on generating ideas for “Horizon 2020″ project applications and publications. The added value of the workshop was the visit of the head of the Valmiera Business Incubator Juris Čeičs, he saw what we do and saw the potential contribution of scientists to business, which I think is important.” At the end, the young scientists presented the project ideas created during the workshops, shared their scientific experience and impressions of the work done.
By exchanging ideas, the participants are inspired to create new projects, good luck!
Doctoral students, scientific degree applicants and young scientists!
From May 25 to 26, the workshops of the TED4LAT project will be held at Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, with the aim of strengthening scientific cooperation and expanding knowledge about the development of project ideas and mentoring.
The workshops will be attended by professionals from universities cooperating with the project – Riga Technical University, Liepāja University and Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences. The special guests of the workshops will be the representatives of Italy (Politecnico di Torino), France (National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment) and the Czech Republic, who have particularly extensive experience in projects in environmental engineering, socio-technical digital systems, statistical data analysis and material sciences.
In the workshops, participants will discuss participation in new Horizon Europe projects.
dr. phys. Atis Kapenieks, who has developed more than 60 publications in physics, 6 publications on higher education and research policy, 70 on Internet and multimedia applications in e-learning, says about the workshops: “If you want to become a scientist of the future, you must definitely participate! The skills you will acquire will be necessary to be able to teach others. Nowadays, skills are needed to work at a high level.”
On 2th of May, 2023, Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences Socio-Technical Systems Engineering Institutes Leading Researcher Sarma Cakula will lead the online seminar about Big data and dynamic modeling. The seminars are organized to prepare for the doctoral summer school, but anyone interested is invited to listen to them and participate in the discussion. Who knows, maybe during a seminar, a new topic will emerge that would be worth to research! If you want to participate in the seminar, write to e-mail info@ted4lat.eu
From May 25 to 26, the workshops of the TED4LAT project will be held at Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences. Experts will present topics such as “Open Data and Technologies and Practical Solutions: Experience from EU projects” and students will present their scientific works”.
If you have an interesting job related to data science or dynamical system modeling, you can certainly participate and introduce others to your interesting work!
