"The greatest satisfaction in research comes when I see my consistent daily efforts result in the publication of an article, the development of a new project idea, successful collaboration, and the effective transfer of knowledge to my students," notes Mg. sc. comp. Karina Šķirmante, VUAS Leading Researcher at the Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre, Doctoral Student. 

Each researcher represents a unique field of research, including choreomusicology, national defence and security, pharmacogenetics, the protection of rare and endangered species, mitigating waterbody overgrowth, comet activity studies, art science, simulation modelling, the inner logic of modern society through philosophy, cultural studies, as well as book history and library science. 

Throughout the year, the traveling exhibition will be showcased at various higher education institutions and public cultural venues across Latvia. Visitors can watch all 12 video stories by scanning QR codes. This initiative not only raises awareness of science but also strengthens the public's connection with it. 

The 12 scientists, six women and six men, contribute to the development of interdisciplinary national and international-level science centers through their unique research work:
