Education Innovation Laboratory invites everyone interested in the development of higher education in Latvia to attend the 2023 program opening event “Light Up Education” on May 19 at Latvian National Library.

Registration:
We highly recommend attending the event in person in order to maximize the value by networking and exchanging reflections with other attendees about the education scene. However, if that’s not possible, the event will also be live-streamed on Riga Business School’s Facebook account. To watch the event online, registration is not necessary.
The goal of the event is to foster a community of ambitious people interested in the development of higher education in Latvia, enable inter-institutional networking, as well as to celebrate the second season of the Leader Program and the launch of the Strategic Education Innovation Project Support Program.
