Two projects from the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL) have received funding in the latest MikroTik research equipment competition – an initiative supporting scientific advancement in the natural sciences, technology, and medicine.
In total, 11 projects from the University of Latvia were awarded funding amounting to €608,282, with ISSP UL researchers leading two of them:
“Hydrogen Fuel Cell Testing Platform Development in Latvia”, led by Ainārs Knoks, aims to create a foundation for research and innovation in clean energy technologies and hydrogen-based power systems.
“Integrated fNIRS and EEG System for Visual Neuroergonomics”, led by Sergejs Fomins, will enable advanced studies on the interaction between human vision, brain activity, and technology – strengthening Latvia’s position in neuroscience and applied optics research.
Through these projects, ISSP UL continues to act as a driver of innovation, promoting scientific excellence and contributing to Latvia’s knowledge-based and sustainable future.
Since 2015, the MikroTik grant program, implemented through the University of Latvia Foundation, has provided over €6 million in donations, supporting both fundamental and applied research across Latvia.
