International Cooperation

  The University of Latvia pays great attention to the development of international cooperation with foreign educational institutions, and private and state organizations to promote international identification, and exchanges and to strengthen a good reputation. Nowadays the main aim of the collaboration is to focus on the content and quality to make internationalization a balanced element of education and research.  The University of Latvia takes part in:
  • bilateral cooperation agreements (with 219 universities in 51 countries);
  • membership in international university organizations and networks;
  • participation in international educational and research programs and projects;
  • exchanges of students and teachers (exchange statistics);
  • International cooperation on the faculty, institute, department, and individual levels.
Active participation within bilateral partnership agreements and European programs has promoted wide cooperation activities within the ERASMUS+ program. The number of agreements with European partner universities has grown tremendously within the last 5 years anticipating more intensive exchanges of students and teachers. At present, the University of Latvia has signed more than 1000 agreements with 450 educational institutions in 33 European programs and over 35 Inter-institutional agreements with 17 partner countries.
