In spring 2020, the marketing team of Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences accepted the challenge to test the new marketing approach and pass over the opportunity to create digital content about the university, its study programs, the city, the country, and local environment to the students. 

With the motto “Change the future of your region - in only 36 hours!” from September 23 to September 24, international online hackathon “Hack2Change” was held for the first time. In six multinational teams there was an opportunity to find solutions for real life challenges identified by local companies and other stakeholders. Nine participants from Latvia took part in the hackathon.

The publication, that is a part of the “Simulation Games in Strategic Communication” project (SimGames), focuses on university teaching approaches to provide students with opportunities to develop transversal skills that will help them succeed in their future careers.

A new digital platform Art Space has been created at Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences. Its purpose is to present the history of artistic styles in modern gaming in an innovative and interactive way. The authors of the game are researcher Ieva Gintere and new media artists Kristaps Biters & Ieva Vīksne (Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Art Academy of Latvia, Liepāja University, Latvia).

In September not only students from Latvia, but also 12 new foreign full-time students from Belarus, USA, India, Pakistan, Ukraine, Argentina, Kazakhstan and Mexico will start their studies at Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences (ViA).

We are happy to announce that from today Belarusian students can apply for scholarships at higher education institutions in Latvia, including Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences.
