New Faculty of Computer Science, Information Technology and Energy student council room created with support from companies and donors

In October, the Faculty of Computer Science, Information Technology and Energy (DITEF) at Riga Technical University (RTU) celebrated the opening of the new DITEF Student Council premises. The modernly equipped room was created with the support of companies Autentica, Regula Baltija, and ZZ Dats, in cooperation with the RTU Development Fund, to create an environment that encourages students to be active, creative, and initiate new projects.

The space was created as part of a broader plan following the faculty's reorganisation, which combined several RTU structural units and established a unified DITEF identity. It has become a space where students meet, collaborate on joint projects, and organise events, while also providing an environment for relaxation and informal interaction. This promotes the exchange of ideas and a sense of community within the faculty, making it an essential centre for student life and creative activities. 

 "The student council room is one of the favourite places for students to relax, meet friends, and study. There is always a lively atmosphere and friendly people who are ready to help in any situation. This room is like our common centre—a place where ideas are born, projects are created, and friendships between students from different study programs are strengthened," says Patriks-Gustavs Rinkēvičs, head of the DITEF Student Council.

The improvement of the premises will continue after the opening, and support for its development can be provided on the RTU donation platform ziedo.rtu.lv. This is an opportunity for students, graduates, and cooperation partners to create an environment that fosters collaboration and inspires new ideas together.

The creation of this space confirms the successful cooperation between RTU, industry, and students, which creates sustainable value – a place where new ideas are born and collaboration is promoted. The next generation of engineers and IT specialists is being developed.
