Latvia is a country of rich history and cultural traditions and a relatively new national state. For a thousand years this land in the north-east of Europe was inhabited by the Baltic and Finno-Ugric tribes, but the consolidation of the modern Latvian nation started in the 19th century. That was a period of national awakening that later served also as a precondition for establishment of an independent national state in the 20th century.
Today Latvia is a member country of the European Union, on its way to welfare and economic growth. Latvia successfully participates in the establishment of a European higher education area. Higher education institutions of Latvia are active members of international cooperation in many different topical study and research fields. Latvia has also started to participate in developing a common Baltic-Nordic education area with the perspective of becoming a part of one of the world’s most competitive and developed regions. And, last but not least, Latvia sees its role as a bridge between the East and the West. Altogether, at present Latvia is an active member of numerous challenging and unique projects.
