Media experts from Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) held an online discussion dedicated to a special edition (Advancing Media Literacy Research in the Baltic Sea Region) of the research journal Central European Journal of Communication on 30 June 2020. The event gathered communication experts, journalists, teachers, representatives of state and local government institutions, non-governmental organisations, amongst others.

In preparation for welcoming new international students at Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) this autumn, the RSU International Department (ID) has initiated online mentor training. During the training, mentors learn what new students expect from them and how mentors can help the new international students.
The training specifically focused on the need for support in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
