9th of February marked the day when Annual Awards of Latvian Student Union (LSA) were presented at the Latvian Academy of Arts, awarding best students, young scientists and projects in 13 different nominations, which were determined by the votes of students, student councils, LSA executive board members and external experts.

The annual award of the LSA is a ceremonial award, which honors and reveals the brightest students and events of the past year, which directly or indirectly are related to the general higher education policy, the progress of each university, the daily life of student councils and the life of every Latvian student.

We are delighted to announce that the award “Project of the Year” was given to the International Student Conference “Health and Social sciences” 2018, organized by RSU students, which was the largest annual student scientific event in the Baltic States. For the first time, the conference brought together around 2,000 participants and visitors from more than 25 countries around the world and was organized for two days in a row, that way equalling RSU ISC with the world’s best-known student conferences.
