Scientific events

Scientific conferences and seminars are organised at Ventspils University of Applied Sciences annually.


As of May 2003, at the end of each academic year, the students’ scientific conference, Current Developments in National Economy, Translation, and Technology, takes place, providing students with the opportunity to present their achievements in research activities.


Every year before Christmas, the Ventspils University of Applied Sciences Christmas Conference takes place, in which the Ventspils University of Applied Sciences and its lecturers and researchers look back at the accomplishments of the year.


At the same time, regular conferences and seminars are held in the framework of the projects implemented by VUAS.
