Philanthropist Boris Teterev’s Targeted Grant for Modernising Social Science Study Programmes at RSU

Philanthropist Boris Teterev’s targeted grant for modernising social sciences study programmes at Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) is intended for academic staff.

The purpose of the grant is to help develop new innovative interdisciplinary study courses and to improve existing study courses by integrating appropriate methodological solutions up to a maximum of 20 % of the total study programme. The targeted grant is awarded to lecturers who have had the most success in developing a new innovative study course or who have made innovative improvements to an existing study course in accordance with RSU Academic Regulation requirements. Three months are dedicated to content development and one month to uploading the developed materials to the RSU e-studies platform. The study course developed with the help of the target grant is to be implemented only in RSU study programmes.

The target grant is paid out as a lump sum of EUR 1,000 (one thousand euros, zero cents), with no advance payments, only after the result is uploaded to RSU e-studies platform and the grant committee has made a final decision.
