On August 12, the youth opportunities festival \u201cKOPUMS 2026\u201d took place in R\u0113zekne, gathering young people, educational institutions, organizations, and state institutions from all over Latvia, offering wide opportunities to learn more about education, careers, volunteering, and participation. At the \u201cBioPhoT\u201d information stand, young people had the opportunity to learn about innovation projects implemented by researchers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the \u201dBioPhoT\u201d stand, young people were able to learn about several research projects, including one from the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies \u201cQuote\u201cPOLYCLAY-UV\u201d<\/strong><\/a>, within the framework of which a multifunctional clay and polyphenol composite material is being developed. In the future, it could be used as a naturally derived UV filter in sun protection products. Coffee grounds are also used in the development of the material, which is why the festival was also represented by \u201cKUUP coffee roastery<\/strong>, who treated the event attendees to delicious coffee drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the festival, researchers from the University of Latvia also presented their projects in person, representing the project \u201cQuote\u201cImmoPREN\u201d<\/strong><\/a>, which investigates immobilized polyprenols as slow-release adaptogens with immunostimulatory activity. In turn, the project \u201cQuote\u201cTEPOWER\u201d<\/strong><\/a> Flexible thermoelectric generators for self-powered microelectronics and sensors are being developed within the framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participation in the festival was a great opportunity to start a conversation with young people about science, technology, and innovation, as well as to showcase concrete examples of how researchers' ideas and work translate into new, socially significant solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the organizers, researchers, and all visitors of \u201cKOPUMS 2026\u201d for your interest, conversations, and inspiration!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
