International projects
Turiba University is actively expanding its international cooperation, initiating, developing, and implementing various local, national, and international projects.
We believe that the development of the University is inconceivable without innovative initiatives, the creation of new teaching approaches and methods, and without international collaboration. To prepare high-quality new professionals, it is essential for our university to provide opportunities for learning in an international environment, meeting lecturers, and professionals from around the world. Therefore, we realize international projects in collaboration with universities and partners worldwide.
Through these projects, we have developed new and innovative educational resources and tools, published books, organized international conferences, exchange trips, study visits, summer schools, and other activities.
We have extensive experience in international project management and have been actively involved in coordinating projects such as Central Baltic Interreg, Erasmus Mundus, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs program, European Social fund, JUSTICE, NORDPLUS, and ERASMUS+ projects.

NORDPLUS Intensive Course "Security Risk Management" 2024
Security is a relevant topic both globally and for the Baltic and Scandinavian countries that are members of the Nordplus program. We are currently facing new challenges related to the impact of war, migration, conflicts rooted in cultural and religious differences, cyberattacks, and other threats to our security. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for educational institutions to prepare capable and knowledgeable security specialists who can tackle these threats and challenges. Moreover, security is an international discipline, and only through cooperation and uniting forces can Europe confront these new security threats.
For this reason, Turiba University has been cooperating with various universities in Europe for several years, working together on different projects in the field of security. In the summer of 2024, five partner universities from Baltic Sea region countries organized the NORDPLUS Intensive Course on Security Risk Management. This course provided an opportunity to train students in a very intensive manner, offering in-depth knowledge in the field of security.
The course provided insights into topics such as security theory, individual and organizational security, globalization, crisis management, energy security, cybersecurity, conflict resolution, cooperation, and leadership.
As part of the intensive course, students participated in lectures, practical classes, discussions with industry professionals and specialists, and study visits. Lecturers from five countries participated in the course, and the working language was English. This course offered an excellent opportunity to study and work in an international environment with students from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Norway, and Finland.
Course dates: August 13-24, 2024.

The course was organized with financial support from the NORDPLUS program. The project involved five universities: Turiba University (Latvia), Kazimieras Simonavičius University (Lithuania), Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia), LAUREA University of Applied Sciences (Finland), and Nord University (Norway). Project number: NPHE-2024/10358.
