Partnership announcements
Announced at: | 2023-10-12 Vilnius Gediminas Technical University | |
| Research interests: | We are a consortium formed between Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) and Riga Technical University (RTU). We represent a dynamic and collaborative partnership between two renowned technical institutions from the Baltic region. Our consortium combines the strengths, expertise, and resources of both universities to promote various academic, research, and innovation initiatives. We are seeking a partner from Taiwan (China) for collaboration in following project: Project Title: Exploring Facade Solar Panel Applications in Building Renovations and New Construction: A Comparative Study in Taiwan, Lithuania, and Latvia Project Description: The project aims to investigate the feasibility and potential benefits of integrating facade solar panels in both renovated and newly constructed buildings across three distinct regions: Taiwan, Lithuania, and Latvia. Through comprehensive analysis, this research endeavor seeks to estimate the approximate energy production capacity, assess economic viability, and present a comparative evaluation of different alternatives in selected case studies. Partnership Opportunities: We invite potential partners from academia, industry, and government agencies interested in renewable energy, sustainable architecture, and urban development. Collaborators can provide expertise, data, and support in the project's various phases, ensuring a comprehensive and impactful study. | |

| Research interests: | Taiwan, as well as Latvia and Lithuania, are young democracy in all three countries law plays more and more important role on organization of private, social and political life. Complex contemporary social systems elevate the position of judiciary in contemporary democracies. Antimajoritarian institutional provisions and human rights impose some restrictions on the role of legislature and executive powers and place judiciary in special place in pollical systems. Judiciary had been playing a special role in development of democracy in all three countries. The research hypothesis is that judiciary in young democracies played special role which require self-restrain. This is connected with epistemic authority of judiciary which is not restricted to legal but also require considerable extra-legal knowledge. The aim of the proposed research is to compare judges’ attitudes to and opinion of democracy and rule of law. It will be done by semi-structured interviews with judges on different level in the system of administration of justice in respective countries. The questionnaire will include question about self-identity of judiciaries in respective countries (self-reflections about the status) and questions regarding their knowledge and education and nomination procedures. The outcome of the research will be more realistic empirically oriented comparative analyses of the role of judiciaries in young democracies with stress on similarities and differences. It will be substantive contribution to comparative constitutional law. | |

| Research interests: | In a collaboration with Latvian Academy of Art, our team has recently created a demo version of educational art game in order to support the development of serious gaming and enhance knowledge transfer in the area of modern aesthetics. The idea has been already used in two research projects, the post-doctoral and the currenly on-going project supported by the European Commission, ImGame – An Innovative Digital Environment Based on Research with Elements of Immersive Aesthetics. The project leader, Dr. Ieva Gintere has a PhD in musicology. We wish to develop the prototype and would be happy to collaborate. We would need a programmerin Unity. Please see the detailed idea attached. | |

| Research interests: | The Institute of Materials and Structures (IMS) is a research institution of Riga Technical University (RTU). RTU is one of the oldest institutions of higher technical education in Eastern Europe. It is the only polytechnic university in Latvia and the largest university in the country – it educates and trains almost 15 thousand students. RTU is focused on becoming a third generation university that not only provides high quality education, but also conducts advanced research and ensures innovation and technology transfer, practically implementing scientific discoveries. The IMS has more than 30 years’ experience in the field of modelling, analysis and optimisation of high-performance composite materials and structures. Recently considerable research has been conducted in the fields of damage identification and structural health monitoring; vibration testing and monitoring; and smart control of composite structures. The IMS has participated in many national, bilateral and European scientific and technological projects: H2020 (5 projects) and EU Frame Work Programmes 5-7 (24 projects). Scientific results have been presented in more than 300 papers in international journals, 5 monographs and at many international conferences. The IMS scientific team’s core competence is in composite material mechanics, numerical modelling, applied computational techniques, static and dynamic testing, sensing systems, optimisation and artificial intelligence theories.

| Research interests: |
The main study subjects of my laboratory focus on head and neck cancers, comprising basic and clinical studies. We primarily study the tumor microenvironment of EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma, oral cancers, and oropharyngeal cancers. We are interested in the roles of stromal components, such as adipocytes, fibroblasts, immune cells, and exosomes within tumor microenvironment. During the past few years, in collaboration with Chang-Gung medical center and National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan, we've established experimental & analytical pipelines for tumor single-cell Omics studies and successfully conducted ~50 tumor-derived single-cell RNA sequencing experiments. The collaborative subjects are not limited to the mentioned above. |
