JIV-ERIC Consortium

JIV-ERIC RL National Node Consortium (NNC) Partnership Plan (MIC) is a JIV-ERIC NNC further development and cooperation planning document, developed a close cooperation planning document of the partners forming the centre to promote the Latvian JIV-ERIC National Node Consortium industry science and sustainable development of research, international competitiveness and successful integration into the European and global science area.


The long-term goal of the MIC is cooperation in fundamental and applied research in information and communication technologies, as well as signal processing, concentrating, integrating and effectively using RL LMZO scientific infrastructure and intellectual potential in space to maintain EU centre of excellence standard and increase overall competitiveness of consortium and Latvian science research space.

The JIV-ERIC National Node Consortium consists of the following partners:

 

  • The Institute of Engineering “Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre” in accordance with the decision of the Republic of Latvia to join JIV-ERIC and the Ministry of Education and Science in November 2016 performs the duties of the leading partner or national coordinator of the national node;
  • University of Latvia - Institute of Atomic Physics and Spectroscopy (UL IAPS) and Institute of Astronomy (UL IA);
  • Riga Technical University - Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications (RTU FET); Department of Geomatics, Faculty of Civil Engineering (UL BIF).


The development directions of the JIV-ERIC RL National Node Consortium are:

 

  1. performance of fundamental and applied research in the research directions specified in the RDP;
  2. development of staff required for research;
  3. development of the infrastructure necessary for conducting research.


The plan of partnership of scientific institutions has been developed with the aim to determine the guidelines of long-term cooperation of scientific institutions forming research centres in order to:


 

  • to promote the development of science and research in Latvia and its competitiveness in the world;
  • attract new intellectual resources to science;
  • to promote the integration of Latvia's scientific resources into international science networks;
  • promote the socio-economic return on infrastructure.


The medium-term goals of JIV-ERIC RL National Node Consortium are:
 

  • to promote the growth of the intellectual potential of scientific activity and the renewal and development of the LMZO infrastructure complex in order to create a basis for the development of research and technological excellence at the EU level;
  • to increase competence in the fields of space geodesy, LOFAR research and ionosphere research by actively integrating into the EU science area research programs, consortia, networks and projects of ILT, IVS, EISKAT and ESA;
  • to promote the commercialization of knowledge and technology by creating a favourable and competitive environment for innovative activities.
