It will also allow staff to expand professional networks with other higher education institutions.
The program agenda includes networking, lecture delivery to EKA students and other IAW participants, workshops, and an active social life.
Besides the participation in IAW, it is also possible to participate in etECH2026 International Conference that will take place on April 22-23, 2026. More info: https://etech.eka.edu.lv/
