In 2018, RSU joined the Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) in the area of health managed by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology's Health Knowledge and Innovation Community (EIT Health). Currently the University serves as the EIT Health Hub in Latvia. The goal of RIS is to enhance innovation capacity in those European regions that have been evaluated as "modern innovators" by European Innovation Scoreboard.
