Within the framework of the project, it is planned to modernise the study infrastructure of the Latvian University of Biosciences and Technologies (hereinafter - LBTU) and the Agency of the Latvian University of Biosciences and Technologies of the Latvian University of Biosciences and Technologies of Malnava College (hereinafter - Malnava College) for the implementation of STEAM study programmes in the thematic areas of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Information Technology, Engineering, Manufacturing and Construction and Agricultural Education. This includes the development of a modern study environment, providing students with access to the latest technologies and equipment, while improving the quality of education. During the project, investments will be made in eight (8) LBTU buildings with a total financing of EUR 2 147 920 and in the LBTU agency Malnava College with a total financing of EUR 74 898.00. Within the framework of the project, the following activities will be implemented in the premises of both LBTU and Malnava College: renovation and adaptation of buildings to ensure appropriate conditions for the study process improved existing IT infrastructure, introducing the latest digital solutions that will help to modernise the study process and adapt it to the modern increasing requirements purchased equipment necessary for specific study areas, thus improving the quality of studies improved study facilities, providing the necessary conditions for the work of students and lecturers, thus developing an academic environment that meets the modern requirements.LBTU implements the study activity in accordance with the objectives set out in the University Development Strategy 2023-2027. One of the strategic objectives is focused on high-quality studies. Modernising the study environment will directly contribute to the improvement of study quality and long-term quality assurance. The study environment, significantly complemented by the provision of modern laboratories and audiences, will increase opportunities to carry out laboratory and independent work, ensure the involvement of foreign academic staff and national public and private sector experts and specialists, strengthen the link between the university and the economy, and bring the knowledge and skills of graduates more in line with sectoral needs and labour market demand. At the same time, it will contribute to the achievement of the second strategic objective: more knowledgeable and skilled students will be able to develop higher quality research papers (especially in master's and doctoral level studies) under the guidance of academic staff, which will contribute to increasing the research excellence and innovation capacity of the LBTU. All STEAM study programmes selected for the modernization of the study environment are directly in line with the strategic goals and long-term development plans of the LBTU. The new infrastructure will be sustainable as improvements will reduce energy consumption and long-term operating costs, contributing to greener operations. The planned investments will complement the existing infrastructure of the LBTU in a synergistic way by providing modernised study rooms, laboratories and digital infrastructure. The project activities are also expected to contribute to the competitiveness of Malnava College graduates in the changing socio-economic conditions, which is in line with the College's strategic objective of acquiring high-quality knowledge and skills in the agricultural and road transport sectors. LBTU Malnava College needs modernized study rooms, which are ergonomic and equipped with the latest technologies. Digital infrastructure needs to be modernised by providing access to online resources and remote learning. Laboratories should be equipped with the latest technologies that meet the industry's development trends and requirements.It is expected that as a result of the modernization of the study environment, the educational offer will be improved, ensuring compliance with the requirements of economic sectors in the fields of strategic specialization of the university, targeted cooperation with foreign universities is promoted, as well as improved cooperation with industry-leading companies, involving experienced specialists in the study process. Such investments will allow students to acquire practical knowledge and experience that meets the requirements of the modern labour market. Modern study rooms and facilities will contribute to a more efficient learning process, making study programmes more attractive and competitive. This, in turn, will help attract new students who are looking for high-quality education and opportunities to develop skills in accordance with industry standards.According to paragraph 45 of the SAM Cabinet Regulation, the project is expected to start in accordance with the concluded agreement on the implementation of the project and to be implemented no later than 30.06.2029.
