All three conferences that are part of Research Week 2025 will take place on 26–28 March 2025 at Rīga Stradiņš University and online.
At the heart of Research Week lies the medical conference Knowledge for Use in Practice, which will cover a diverse array of clinical and basic science topics:
- Revolutionising cancer treatment safety
“Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiac 18F-FDG Uptake in Lymphoma Patients: An Early Metabolic Indicator of Cardiotoxicity?” explores how PET/CT technology can detect heart risks, ensuring lifesaving treatments remain safe. - Artificial intelligence changing medicine
AI continues to redefine medical imaging. Don’t miss “Automatic Segmentation of Morphological Structures, Metastasis Detection, and 3D Model Reconstruction from Medical Imaging Utilizing Artificial Intelligence Based on Deep Neural Network Methodologies.” - Advancing critical care
Discover cutting-edge approaches to critical care in “Clinical Efficacy of the Oxiris® Membrane in Patients with Refractory Septic Shock: Comparison Between Isolated Hemadsorption and Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration Modalities”. - Breaking new ground in sports science
This year, sports science takes the spotlight with studies like “Assessment of Lower Limb Biomechanics Using Wearable Sensors in Youth Football Players Executing Single Leg Squat” and “Effects of Step Frequency Manipulation on Running Stability and Kinematics with Auditory and Visual Feedback”. - Fascinating rare disease case reports
Clinicians will be captivated by compelling cases such as “Chronic Osteomyelitis in a Patient with Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis”, “Paroxysmal Non-Kinesigenic Dyskinesia”, and “Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Induced Heart Septum Rupture”.
The conference Society. Health. Welfare. will dive deep into public health and social challenges:
- Critical societal issues
Delve into provocative titles like “Workplace Violence Experienced by Education Workers”, “Techno-Insecurity Among Working Women in Latvia”, and “The Problem of Overweight: Research Experience in Health Studies in Latvia”. - Addressing geopolitical realities
The dismal geopolitical climate in Europe takes center stage, with powerful discussions like “War-Related Burnout in Ukrainian Civilians: Coping Under the Strain of Three Years of Russia’s Military Invasion” and “The Social Significance of Visual Art in Asylum Seeker Centers”.
Timely geopolitical and social topics are also broadly covered in our social science conference PLACES.
To shed some light on the current situation regarding the war in Ukraine, make sure not to miss these: “International and Regional Response on the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine” and “Why Ukraine Must Win”.
- Bridging health care and social science
Explore the intersections of health care and society in “The Challenges of Balancing the Right of Patients to Express Their Religious Beliefs During Medical Treatment with Physicians’ Duty to Respect Self-Determination” and “Phenomenology’s Contribution to Public Health: An Embodied Perspective on Adherence to Preventive Health Measures”. - Global issues in politics and policy
Unravel the complexities of modern politics and economics in “Economic Analysis of Populism: Causes and Consequences” and “Exogenous and Endogenous Crises in European Integration: A Case Study of Climate Change”.
The countdown has begun – join the conversation!
This is just a glimpse of what awaits at Research Week 2025. With topics that push boundaries, provoke thought, and ignite innovation, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience.
The final program is taking shape, but there’s still time to add your voice. Submit your abstract by 31 December, then celebrate the new year knowing you’ve contributed to a week dedicated to research and ground-breaking discoveries.
Let’s make Research Week 2025 extraordinary together!
