During the meeting, Dr iur. Vadims Mantrovs, Vice-Dean for Research at the UL Faculty of Law, and doctoral student Jūlija Terjuhana discussed current issues in academic cooperation and research.

During the visit, the participants discussed the experience of both universities in international research projects, as well as cooperation with the business sector. Future opportunities for cooperation between the Faculties of Law of the University of Latvia and Vilnius University were also outlined.

The visit also took place on Shadow Day, organised by Junior Achievement Latvia, during which Vice-Dean Vadims Mantrovs was joined by two student “shadows” from Jelgava Secondary School No. 5, who gained insight into academic work and the legal education environment.
