Introduction
Rīgas Tehniskā universitāte
▪ The doctoral program will promote resource sharing and closer co-
operation between the leading Latvian universities (RTU and UL).
▪ The focus of the program is Latvian and Baltic students, potentially
offer it for students outside the Baltic region.
▪ To create the program, it is planned to attract experts from the
universities implementing the program - RTU and the University of
Latvia and the leading Baltic universities.

Transition to a dual split
8
● To avoid over-fragmentation, it was decided to focus on a dual split for the program:○ Particle physics - higher focus on ‘blue skies’ high-energy particle physics;○ Accelerator technologies - higher focus on engineering and technology;
● Taught contents remain split into obligatory and choice courses;The line between obligatory-choice and free-choice remains blurred-to-non-existent at this stage;
● Choice subjects will force some overlap both ways and allow full overlap both ways(discussed in a couple of slides);
![Page 15: Particle physics and accelerator technologies€¦ · Semester 2: Long-term attachment at CERN (or other lab.) / work on the experiment; ... Particle physics - higher focus on ‘blue](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071021/5fd4f09c5149322bbe5276e0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Obligatory courses
9
● Should form approx. 30 - 40% of taught credit points;
● Law of higher education mandates that the obligatory (and obligatory-choice) taught courses must be covered by the Latvian universities;
● Guest lecturers, of course, would be admissible for parts of the courses;
![Page 16: Particle physics and accelerator technologies€¦ · Semester 2: Long-term attachment at CERN (or other lab.) / work on the experiment; ... Particle physics - higher focus on ‘blue](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071021/5fd4f09c5149322bbe5276e0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Choice courses
10
● Should form approx. 60 - 70% of taught credit points;● Various choice subjects to be made available to allow for different level of entry:
○ e.g. B.1, B.2, B.3;● Baltic partner involvement is highly desirable;
![Page 17: Particle physics and accelerator technologies€¦ · Semester 2: Long-term attachment at CERN (or other lab.) / work on the experiment; ... Particle physics - higher focus on ‘blue](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071021/5fd4f09c5149322bbe5276e0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Workshops & the doctoral school
11
● Some credits or other method of assessment must be allocated to workshops and the doctoral school;
● The doctoral school should cover career and teaching related items;
● This could include some teaching experience in the partner institutions in EE or LT;
● In general, for these, Baltic partner’s involvement would also be extremely beneficial;
![Page 18: Particle physics and accelerator technologies€¦ · Semester 2: Long-term attachment at CERN (or other lab.) / work on the experiment; ... Particle physics - higher focus on ‘blue](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071021/5fd4f09c5149322bbe5276e0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Schools / Conferences / Assessment
12
● Additional credits / requirements should also be allocated to a few one-off items, such as the Baltic school and participation in a conference;
● An LTA to a relevant laboratory, e.g. CERN, should also be mandatory;Baltic partners based at said laboratories could eventually help with the supervision;
● The final assessment would be the usual combination of a doctoral thesis and a viva voce.

Discussion points
13
● Study program contents:○ Physics / technology split;○ Amount;○ Taught content;○ Other suggestions;
● Teaching involvement from EE and LT:○ Doctoral schools in EE/LT institutes - could these be employed?○ What could be offered either by lecturers coming to Riga or students going to EE/LT?○ Can entire courses be allocated? To whom?○ Require external experts; welcome commitment;
● All other comments and suggestions - all are welcome!
