The Ventspils City Municipality and the University of Ventspils (VeA) will sign a long-term cooperation agreement on January 24, which will promote the development of higher education, science, and research in Ventspils and the region.
​The purpose of the cooperation agreement is to strengthen VeA as an internationally recognized center for higher education and science in the Baltic Sea region, promoting the quality of study programs, the development of innovation, and the recruitment of academic staff. Within the framework of the agreement, VeA will continue to develop research infrastructure and the qualification of academic staff, including strengthening collaboration with entrepreneurs and international partners. The agreement also provides for municipal support for scholarship programs, such as in the ICT field and the provision of student internships at municipal institutions.

​"Since its establishment, VeA has worked closely with the Ventspils Municipality, and the municipality's support has always been evident," emphasizes VeA Rector Andris Vaivads. "The new cooperation agreement will provide even more opportunities for students, researchers, and the city's residents."
"It is important for our city to create an environment where young people can receive quality higher education and develop their career opportunities right here in Ventspils," says Ventspils City Municipality Chairman Jānis Vītoliņš. "The municipality has always supported the University of Ventspils and will continue to do so, working together on the development of study programs, the advancement of science, and the improvement of infrastructure."
The Ventspils City Municipality actively supports the development of education and science, and the cooperation agreement will be valid until 2028, fostering sustainable city economic growth and the implementation of innovations in various sectors. Although VeA is a state university, it was established and fully funded by the municipality in its early years, and to date, the Ventspils City Municipality has invested more than 19 million euros in the university's development.
