The Latvian Association of Young Researchers for their primary course of action considers favourable evaluation, incentives and financial support of Latvian academic scientific communities. LJZA tries to cover the whole Latvian territory and, thanks to intense international scientific cooperation, far beyond our national borders reaches its implemented projects. LJZA is actively bringing together doctoral candidates and other young Latvian scientists by organizing scientific and social events that promote contacts and cooperation among scientists. A number of projects have been implemented with support from Borisa and Ināras Teterevu Fund, within which the scientific prestige of the profession in Latvian young people is significantly elevated. Young people are motivated to choose scientific careers and to study.
