The Rēzekne Technology Academy (RTA) has prepared a gift for future engineers in the annual sound

Upgraded study environment for emerging engineers in the Rēzekne Technology Academy
A programme of two new studies has been performed – the academic master's study programme “laser technologies”, the 1 st level vocational higher education programme “mechanical engineering”, as well as the modernisation of the 2 nd level vocational higher education programme “mehatronics”.
The modernisation of the study programmes of engineer faculty has been performed in the framework of the specific support objective of the operational programme “Growth and Employment” of 8.1.1. “to increase the number of modernised STEM, including medical and creative industries, the number of study programmes” within the framework of the project “Modernisation of the Rēzekne Technology Academy laser technologies, mehatronics and engineering studies programmes”, the agreement regarding implementation of the European Union fund project No. 8.1.1.0/17/I/011. project co-operation institution is a central financial and contract agency (CEFLA). The estimated cost of the project is EUR 964917,00, of which 85% is ERDF financing, 15% is State budget financing. Implementation of the project from 16.3.2018 to 31.12.2018
As part of the project, new equipment and equipment (3D laser scanning microscope, magnetrone scrubbing system, laser equipment for grinding, welding, grading, etc.), materials, laser-technology instruments, purchased powerful computer equipment located in the building and laser technology centre building and already existing laboratories were purchased. This makes it possible to increase the quality of the study process, achieve excellence in research and innovation.
One of THE objectives OF THE RTA is to provide the highly skilled labour force required for growth of Latgale, Latvia, the European economy and promote the involvement of new specialists in science and research. The implementation of the project was one of the steps in achieving the objective. New installations will be using 180 both Latvian and foreign engineer faculty students who are already studying in modernised study programmes with 2019
The project is the basis for further development, including development of new studies and research directions, and strengthening cooperation with partners in the field of laser technologies, both in Latvia and abroad.
