LACISE project showcased at Universs@LU by the Energy Materials Laboratory of the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia
On February 21-22, the University of Latvia hosted the Universs@LU study festival, attracting prospective students from across the country. This event provided detailed information on study opportunities not only at the University of Latvia but also at other Latvian universities, offering visitors a chance to explore a wide range of academic programs.
The Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL), presented the LACISE project at their stand. Visitors learned about the Energy Materials Laboratory's research on energy storage materials and were captivated by the "Exploding Bubbles - the Power of Hydrogen" experiment. Attendees were also given the opportunity to express their interest in various LACISE activities, including developing research papers for school students, volunteering with scientists, internships, events, competitions, and excursions to the ISSP UL.
The primary goal of the LACISE project at the event was to showcase the diverse STEM education opportunities, particularly in the field of energy storage. The project aimed to inspire young people to pursue science and emphasize the significance of these fields for future innovation and development.
At the Universs@LU study festival, visitors were presented with a diverse array of over 150 high-quality study programs to explore. They also had the opportunity to participate in creative activities designed to help them discover their career path and explore various professions. The festival offered a unique opportunity for visitors to meet prospective lecturers and fellow students, thereby fostering a sense of community.
The organizers ensured that each visitor left feeling inspired and informed about their future, thereby fostering a positive and supportive environment in which young people could explore their interests and potential.
