RSU management and Finnish Ambassador discuss opportunities for cooperation

On Thursday, 30 May, the Ambassador of Finland Anne Saloranta visited the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) Medical Education Technology Centre. Cooperation opportunities in the fields of medical technology, studies and research, as well as social sciences were jointly discussed.

The Ambassador of Finland to Latvia, Anne Saloranta, visited the RSU Medical Education Technology Centre for the first time. In discussions with RSU management, the Student Union (Studējošo pašpārvalde, SP) and other representatives of the University on future cooperation opportunities, the Ambassador acknowledged that there are ample opportunities for joint innovation, research and digital solutions projects. RSU could cooperate with the Finnish medical technology industry as well as with universities, research laboratories, and companies.

After the talks, the Ambassador was given a short tour of the simulation technologies that help every RSU student learn relevant skills in a safe environment, including the nearly 400 students from Finland who are currently studying at RSU. The Ambassador tested her skills in the simulated operating theatre, trying to feel the "patient's" pulse, and also praised the possibilities offered by modern technologies and the learning content available to students in the simulated environment.

After the meeting with RSU management and a tour of the METC, the Ambassador continued her visit with talks with Finnish student representatives.
