Researchers' Night

On 27 September 2019 visitors had the opportunity to get acquainted with different fields of science as well as themselves by exploring their own body structure or testing the limits of their physical strength during European Researchers’ Night at Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU). This year’s theme was Science of the Future and the events took place at the Kleisti Science Hub (5 Rātsupītes Iela) and at the Medical Education Technology Centre (26a Anniņmuižas Bulvāris).

Cinema Lab will close out this year's series of films and lectures, organised by the Faculty of Communication of the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU), and sponsored by the US Embassy in Latvia, with the film All the President's Men (dir: Alan J. Pakula). As usual, the film will be preceded by a discussion to which lecturer and film theorist Dita Rietuma has invited Chad Twitty, the press and cultural attaché of the US Embassy in Rīga, and Elīna Vrobļevska, a political science lecturer at the RSU Faculty of European Studies.

The Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) film and lecture series, Cinema Lab, that focuses on how the media is portrayed in film will continue with the Hollywood blockbuster The Truman Show (1998). The film will be screened in the RSU Great Hall on 28 October at 17:00. This will be the second event of the cycle, and this time the film and the topics it covers will be discussed with the audience by RSU lecturer and film critic Dita Rietuma together with media professional and media group leader Baiba Zuzēna.

On October 14, the RSU Department of Communication Studies and Dita Rietuma, the Director of the Latvian National Film Center, will kick off the film lecture series Cinema Lab. The theme of this year's series is 'The media in film'. The first screening will be at 17:00 in the RSU Great Hall.
