Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, many Ukrainian students have been forced to leave their homes in search of safety and the opportunity to continue their education abroad.

From the very first day of the war, Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) has taken a firm stand in supporting Ukraine and its academic community.

The most extensive study to date on improving the detection, care, and treatment of postpartum depression in Latvia has been completed. The study determined how widespread postpartum depression is in Latvia, identified its risk factors, validated two screening tools, and surveyed women’s opinions about the proposed new care model. The research was conducted by the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) Department of Psychiatry and Narcology in collaboration with the Riga Maternity Hospital. 

Rīga Stradiņš University has launched a new digital platform, RSU Alumni, which serves as a meeting place for all RSU graduates, students, companies, and friends of the university. It is a space to maintain your connection with your alma mater, expand your professional network, and share experiences with like-minded professionals in your field.

Students, researchers, startups, and all sports, technology, and innovation enthusiasts are invited to take part in the SportHack 2025 hackathon – an event aimed at developing new, technology-driven solutions for the sports industry.

Participants will experience a dynamic week filled with creative workshops, mentor support, and the opportunity to compete for a €5000 prize pool!
