On March 23, 2026, electrical systems engineer Antons Hančevskis, who represents the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science team in the LACISE project, visited Liepāja Liedaga Secondary School. During the visit, he engaged with 10th and 11th-grade students, introducing them to the profession of a scientist, current research trends, and the importance of innovation in today’s society.
During the visit, students were told about a scientist’s daily routine, career opportunities, and the path to a career in research. Special attention was paid to practical examples that helped students better understand how science is applied to solving real-life problems.
The LACISE project was also presented during the event, explaining its goals, significance, and potential impact on society. Students had the opportunity to learn more about the innovative solutions being developed as part of the project.
Various scientific research topics were also explored, encouraging young people to think about their future in science and technology. During the discussion, students actively asked questions and engaged in a conversation about how science can help address global and socially significant challenges.
Activities of this kind foster young people’s interest in STEM fields and help build an understanding of the importance of science in societal development.
