1. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

1.1. General characterization of DUOn October 12, 2001, in accordance with the DPU Senate resolution of 30.10.2000, the president of state declared a law on Daugavpils University Constitution (Appendix 1). On November 29, 2001 DU was accredited for two years.DU has five faculties: Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Education and Management, Faculty of Music and Art, Faculty of Social Sciences. DU academic staff are – 249 university lecturers, and the number of students – 6583. DU address: 13 Vienības iela Daugavpils, LV – 5401, phone (371)5422180, fax(371)5422890, e-mail: dau@dau.lv, home page: http://www.dau.lv.

1.2. Aims of Daugavpils UniversityDaugavpils University is a regional centre of higher education, science and culture, where academic and research potential of Eastern Latvia in natural, humanitarian, educational and social sciences is concentrated and is being developed. Its aim is to ensure high quality studies and an up-to-date research level, thus forming the intellectual basis for a harmonious development of Eastern Latvia area.A purposeful state strategy in higher education may become an instrument for diminishing regional differences and serve as a good impulse for the development of the state as a whole.

1.3. Objectives of Daugavpils UniversityBeing well aware of its role as the only university in Eastern Latvia and of its place among other Latvia’s universities as well as taking into consideration the Latgale development plan, the national conception of the development of higher education and universities in the Republic of Latvia, the conception of European Higher Education Area and European Science Area, Daugavpils University sets the following action objectives:

to function as a regional university in natural, humanitarian, educational and social sciences, creating possibilities for all-round high level studies and research;

to assure quality of higher education, to offer three level bachelor, master and doctoral study programmes and to carry out research in accordance with the development of labour market requirements and social demands;

to create possibilities for increasing professional mobility of the population by developing further education and lifelong education;

to continue reforms which promote the integration of Daugavpils University into the European Higher Education Area and European Science Area;

to investigate eastern Latvia’s resources and development tendencies, to weight out possibilities and offer a scientifically well-grounded conception for the development of economy, education, science and culture;

to strengthen the position of the Latvian language and culture in eastern Latvia; to promote a successful integration of Latvia’s society into intellectual, economic and cultural environment by making use of the offered study and research work possibilities.

3

2. DU STUDY ORGANIZATION AND MANAGMENTDU as well as other Latvia’s Higher Education establishments participates in shaping common European Higher Education Area (see the Bologna declaration) by transforming into the system which is mainly based on two cycles: basic studies and post-diploma studies (System of Education in Latvia).

2.1. Study offersDU offers 57 study programmes (Study possibilities):

11 bachelor study programmes, 13 professional bachelor study programmes, 17 professional study programmes, 9 master study programmes, 1 professional master study programme, 6 doctoral study programmes.

The list of academic and professional study programmes realized at DU, receivable degrees and/or professional qualifications and the terms of their licensing and accreditation are supplemented in Appendix 3. After acquiring academic study programmes the students are awarded academic bachelor’s or master’s degrees. After acquiring professional study programmes the student are awarded professional qualification and professional bachelor or master degree. The study programmes are worked out in compliance with LR Cabinet of Ministers regulations: Regulations on state academic education standard, Regulations on the second level professional higher education state standard, Regulations on the first level professional higher education state standard.

2.2. Registration of study workload and assessment of students achievementsCredit point system in DU has already been implemented to its full extent. It is based upon the definition of a credit point as a student’s workload of one week. 1 credit point corresponds to 40 academic hours of student’s workload (Law on Higher Education Establishments). The workload per study year is at least 40 credit points. The workload in both programmes and their separate parts is expressed in credit points. To transfer credit points earned in Latvia into the European system (ECTS) one should apply the factor of 1.5 (Appendix DU-1).The DU students’ level of knowledge is assessed in two ways: during the semester such individual study work control forms as tutorials tests, presentations at seminars, practical and laboratory and creative work are used; during the examination session forms like examinations, tests and differentiated tests are employed. In accordance with the study programme requirements students work, bachelor and master papers out study.In accordance with the instructions N208 of LR Ministry of Education and Science (14.04.1998.) on „Unified registration of study result assessment” the students’ knowledge is assessed by a 10 grade system. Both continuous assessment and assessment at the end of the semester are used for this purpose. It should be pointed out that the choice of the assessment form depends on the study programme type as well as on the lecturer’s individual approach to knowledge assessment.

2.3. Study organizationStudies in DU are realized in compliance with the DU Study Regulations. The distribution of study content, load and work forms per semester are regulated by:

study programme worked out by the chair staff, groups of academic staff or professors; upon designing a study programme a special description of the study

4

programme content and its realization is being worked out; the study programme is confirmed by the DU Senate; before it is confirmed by the Senate, the programme is discussed at the chair meeting, faculty Council, Board of Studies; simultaneously with the confirmation of the programme the Senate confirms the director of the programme, who will be responsible for the implementation of the programme, and determines the funding sources; the external expertise of the programme is its licensing and accreditation;

study plan which determines the distribution of the study courses and examinations per semester (study plans are available in self-evaluation reports of study programmes);

study schedule, which is annually worked out by the Study department and confirmed by the Board of Studies.

In compliance with the study schedule and study plan, the deans of faculties make up time-tables for lectures and examinations for each programme and each semester.

2.4. Study quality assuranceDU has successfully carried out the study reform. As a result, a modern study system compatible with that of other Latvian and European higher education institutions has been shaped (bachelor, master and doctor degrees, credit point system and accreditation). It provides good basis for a qualitative higher education and the mobility of students and lecturers. The indication of quality assessment for DU is 82.4% accredited study programmes and 17.6% licensed study programmes. The internal quality assurance system of DU is based on the analysis of annual programme self-assessment reports, which include:

assessment of the strong and weak points of the study programmes; proposals, which, on the one hand, would enable to “transfer” the positive

experience of the study programme to other study programmes and, on the other hand, would eliminate shortcomings of the study programmes;

implementation of the submitted proposals by ensuring the necessary control, appointing officials responsible for it and providing the required resources.

Since academic year 2002, the study quality assurance system in DU has been coordinated by the Study Quality Assurance Centre (SQAC). Programme self-assessment reports for 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 academic years were placed in DU web site (SQAC). A students’ opinion poll was carried out and the problems the solution of which would improve study quality in DU were brought out. Owing to the programme assessment reports a positive solution was found for such issues as:

connecting the students’ hotel to Internet; reorganization of the lecturers’ workload registration system – according to the

new system working out of teaching aids is included in the lecturers’ workload; in this way the problem of students’ discontent about the lack of teaching aids in Latvian, as shown by the opinion poll, was to a certain extent solved;

the DU library book purchasing policy will also contribute to settling the above mentioned issue;

development of electronic teaching aids (DU centre of distance education) etc.Problems like the realization procedure of proposals put forward during the self-assessment process, comparatively weak contacts with graduates, their employers and the respective study programmes abroad are yet to be tackled.

2.5. StudentsStudents in DU are enrolled in compliance with the Admission regulations (http://www.dau.lv, Study possibilities), worked out by the Study department and adopted by the DU Senate.

5

The enrolment is organized by the Entrance examination commission confirmed by the rector. The enrolment to DU includes applying for the studies, entrance examinations and matriculation. In recent years the number of entrance examinations is being gradually reduced and a competition of diplomas arranged instead because LR Ministry of Education and Science foresees that beginning with 2004 the students will be admitted on the basis of the results of centralized examinations (http://www.izm.lv). 2.5.1. Table 2.5.1.mirrors the dynamics of the number of matriculated students during the last three academic years.

Because of the redistribution of the number of study places among different thematic groups and fields of education, and because of the requirement to reduce the number of those students in higher education establishments who in previous years have been admitted in addition to the state-allotted budget study places, the number of students in state-funded places has considerably diminished during the last two years. However, it is important to say that the number of matriculated students in master programmes and doctoral programmes has increased to a considerable extent (fig.2.5.1.).In Latvia there is a tendency for students from a certain area to choose higher education institutions which are nearer to their home. Therefore in those institutions about 80-85% of students are people of that area. In 2003/2004 academic year those matriculated for basic studies in DU constitute 61.1%. The number of admitted students in DU and their structure in 2003/2004 academic year as well as a competition coefficient are indicated in Appendix 4. 2.5.2. The number of full-time and part time students and their distribution according to different thematic groups and spheres of education during the last four years is shown in table 2.5.2.

In 2000 DPU changed its strategy concerning priorities in education. The number of students in teacher training programmes was considerably diminished while the number of students in academic and professional (non-teacher training) programmes was increased (fig.2.5.2).

Fig.2.5.3. Dynamics of the number of full-time students in thematic groups of education To meet the requirements of the area, DU is extending study possibilities in different thematic spheres of studies: social sciences (law, sociology and economics), health and social care (physiotherapy), natural sciences (environment science, computer science) and humanities and art (computer design).

2.6. SummaryS T R O N G P O I N T S :

in accordance with the recommendations of Bologna process and legislation and resolutions of LR Ministry of Education and Science the transition to two study cycles - basic studies and post diploma studies – has been accomplished;

Latvian credit point system has been introduced in all study programmes; Study quality assurance centre which coordinates assurance of interior quality of

studies has been established; the study possibilities in different thematic spheres are becoming wider.

W E A K P O I N T S :

7

the regional demand for professional and agriculturally oriented study programmes which DU could realize is not being satisfied to a full extent;

providing potential foreign students with courses in English creates certain problems;

it would be desirable to improve credit point storing system which would promote greater students’ mobility.

S O L U T I O N S : to continue designing new study programmes required by this region in

cooperation with other Latvia’s higher educational establishments (DU has already two programmes – “Physiotherapy” in cooperation with Riga Stradins University, “Science of Law” in cooperation with Policy Academy of Latvia);

to encourage lecturers to use more extensively teaching and scientific literature in foreign language for students’ individual work;

to participate in student and lecturer exchange projects more actively; to pay greater attention to constituting contacts with representatives of

professional organizations, employers and graduates within the framework of each study programme.

3. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

3.1. Structural and functional relations of research organization and managementThe unity between research and studies form the DU academic basis. In its research DU follows the LR law “On Scientific Activity” and strategy defined by the state and Latvian Academy of sciences. Research trends towards the cooperation with Europe and Latvia’s higher educational establishments and regional institutions are:

development of information technologies and modern means of communication; development of new materials and technologies; investigation and protection of biodiversity; Latvian studies, literary theory and linguistics; regionalism: historical, economic, social and security aspects; cultural and historical processes; sustainable education; economic and social problems.

DU research strategy as well as other issues pertaining to DU research activities are worked out, confirmed and settled by the Council of Science whose members are representatives of all faculties, institutes and Young Scientists’ association. The Department of Science has organized the Doctoral Studies Centre and Research Coordination and Information department. In 2003, to carry out research in particular branches more successfully and to concentrate the scientific potential DU has founded the following scient if ic insti tutes :

Institute of Comparative Linguistics (Faculty of Humanities); Institute of Sustainable Education (Faculty of Education and Management); Institute of Social Research (Faculty of Social Science).

According to the law on Higher Education Establishments the scientific potential of these institutes corresponds to the level of the Promotion Council. The institutes function in conformity with the statutes adopted by the Senate.To strengthen the contacts between science and business DU researchers have organized several enterprises at the universi ty:

LLC Baltic Institute of Coleopterology; LLC Institute of Limnology; LLC DIFRAKS;

8

LLC UNIT (Universal Service of Information Technologies).These enterprises function as institutes and research laboratories and simultaneously help to realize practical projects or introduce scientific discoveries into production. They also ensure students’ involvement into research and project work. The enterprises function corresponding to their statutes and cooperation agreements with DU.The scientific research in many chairs of the university is promoted by the established research laboratories:

Laboratory of sociological investigations; Laboratory of condensed environment physics; Laboratory of high-vacuum technologies; Laboratory of environmental chemistry; Laboratory of experimental and practical pedagogy and psychology; Centre of information technologies.

Starting with 2003 the Council of Science has adopted a decision to use 5% of DU self-earned revenues for the development of science. It has also asked other structural units to allot at least 10% from the estimate of self-earned revenues to the development of science. Starting with 2003 DU has begun forming its internal grant system.Many students and staff members participate in DU public organizations (PO), which, through their projects, help to attract resources for research and various activities. DU has the following public organizations:

PO DU association of young scientists; PO DU centre of nature studies and environmental education; PO DU centre of health promotion; PO Support centre of Southern Latgale NGO organizations; PO Latgale research institute; PO Union of teachers of arts.

All DU public organizations are users of the Support centre of Southern Latgale NGO organization, and all the resources of the centre are accessible for them: juridical data basis NAIS, the latest information about possible projects, consultations on drawing up projects.

3.2. Research activities of academic staff and studentsDU academic staff participates in carrying out programmes financed by Latvian Science Council. Since 2001 the number of such programmes has gradually increased, and they comprise several branches of science developed in Latvia. In 2003 the academic staff are carrying out 11 research projects (grants) and 1 research project financed by Latvian Science Council. The research is carried out in physics, biology, mathematics, literary theory, philosophy, pedagogy, psychology, sociology and economics (Appendix DU-3). In addition to the projects financed by Latvia’s Council of Science the academic staff take part in 17 international and 10 state level research projects which are financed by international and local organizations and funds (Appendix DU-3). At present, DU scientists realize two EU 5th framework projects: REG-ELIN-LAT, WOOD AND MAN. Several scientists have applied for EU 6th framework project consortia. Several projects realized within the framework of PHARE Access, Life etc. projects are also important.In 2003 the total financing for the development of science in state budget grants was Ls74296 (for doctoral studies and the development of science). In additional to that, Ls19747 were attracted in grants and Ls26550 through international projects and contracts. The sources for financing science and their proportions in DU, 2003 are indicated in fig.3.2.At present, DU and Latgale Regional Development Agency are preparing two project applications for EU structural funds, but 9 idea proposals have been submitted to the

9

Ministry of Education and Science for Ls762375 (Appendix DU-4) in total. The DU application for EU Life programme has been submitted for 865 650 EUR. In 2004 the financial resources planned for the development of science will be Ls72708 as a state budget grant and at least - Ls600000 basically from EU funds.

Fig.3.2. Sources of financing science and their ratio in DU, 2003

Gradually the number and quality of scientific publications grow. About 350 articles are published every year, 150 of which are published in internationally recognized editions. The number of attended international conferences abroad has also grown (Appendix DU-9). Monographs published abroad have been written in cooperation with foreign scientists. See the plan of conferences organized in DU in 2003 in www.dau.lv and Appendix DU-6.

3.3. The development of doctoral studies From 2001 to 2003 a purposeful development of doctoral studies has been carried out. In 2003 DU Doctoral Study Centre was founded and its development strategy has been worked out. The Council of Doctoral studies has also been founded. The materials of Doctoral Study Centre and requirements for financing have been submitted to the Council of Higher Education and to the Ministry of Education and Science. In 2003 two idea proposals to EU Structural funds about the development of doctoral studies and improving the material basis of DU as well as the requirement for allotting additional places for doctoral studies in natural sciences have been worked out and submitted to the Ministry of Education and Science.At present doctoral study programmes in physics, biology, mathematics, pedagogy, literary theory, linguistic are being implemented (Appendix 3).The doctoral study programme in psychology is in the process of accreditation while doctoral study programmes in history and economics are still being worked out.The dynamics of the student number in doctoral studies 2001 - 2003 is indicated in table 3.3.

Simultaneously with increasing the number of places, the mechanisms which would stimulate the defence of doctor’s promotion theses are also taken into consideration (study credits, leaves for research, internal grants). At the same time the issue of the quality assurance of doctoral studies is constantly in the focus of attention. There are 2 Promotion Councils at DU: in literary theory and pedagogy. There is also the professors’ council at in pedagogy (Appendix DU-6).The promotion council in linguistics is in the process of shaping. DU successfully cooperates with the promotion and professors’ councils at Latvia University, Riga Technical University, Academy of Music and Art Academy of Latvia.

3.4. Unity of studies and researchThe present DU scientific potential and research activities in various sub-branches of science ensure qualitative studies in both accredited bachelor and master programmes and in doctoral study programme, which is one of the main indicators of scientific potential. The unity of studies and research is determined by the study programmes worked out in accordance with the conception of European Higher Education Area and European Science Area. In all programmes students do research in conformity with the programme requirements. This is an obligatory requirement leading to academic and professional education. The forms of students’ research work are: reports, study papers, bachelor and master theses, professional qualification works, competitive works. Competitions of students’ research works and conferences are held every year. The materials of conferences and competitions are published in students’ scientific collected articles. DU organizes annual international scientific conferences, and joint lecturer-student publications are also practised (Appendix DU-5).Students are frequently involved into the implementation of research projects, because this is one of their validity criteria established by Latvian Science Council. Research problems and results are discussed also in lecture courses.In 2003 DU young scientists have founded Daugavpils University Association of Young Scientists which has organized several activities: discussion about students’ options in EU, Science forum in Daugavpils, and is encouraging students to participate in the competition for the LAS Young scientists’ award etc.The DU publishing house “Saule” is responsible for publishing scientific literature and teaching aids; it publishes about 70 issues annually (Appendix DU-7).Daugavpils University publishes 20 science journals and annual collected articles, two of which (“Baltic Journal of Coleopterology” and “Journal of Teacher Education and Training”) are included in the list of issues acknowledged by the Latvian Science Council. Two more journals might be included in the same list if necessary improvements are made and regular publishing is ensured (www.lzp.lv). Two scientific

11

journals published by DU - “Baltic Journal of Coleopterology” and “Acta biologica universitatis daugavpiliensis” are indexed in CAB International (www.cabi.org), Cambridge Scientifical Abstracts (www.csa.com), BIOSIS (Zoological Records), ELSEVIER and other international abstracting and indexing data bases.

3.5. International cooperation in research and studiesThe international cooperation is coordinated by the DU Foreign Relations Department. The work of the department is oriented towards the competitiveness of DU study and research offers with those of similar higher education establishments in other countries. The internationalization process of Latvia’s higher education proceeds mainly due to cooperation with European countries. At present, the international cooperation and education internationalization develop in the following areas:

conclusion of bilateral cooperation agreements; participation in international projects and programmes; cooperation between structural units and individuals; coordination of study programmes in order to promote mutual recognition of

diplomas and qualifications.Since 2001 DU has taken part in eight PHARE projects (Appendix DU-8). The funding was used for the development of information technologies, updating the study and scientific laboratories, increasing efficiency of academic and administrative staff and for a considerable improvement of the work of Foreign Relations Department. DU continues cooperation with the above mentioned partners and expands cooperation partnership in almost all continents. Different chairs of DU cooperate with 39 higher education establishments abroad (Appendix DU-9). Eleven contracts have been concluded with foreign higher education and other institutions. In 2002/2003 DU had 22 guest lectures from Sweden, Germany, USA, Russia, Belarusian and France (Appendix DU-10) and 6 foreign students from Spain, Germany and England are studying at DU at present.Since 1999 DU has been participating in several international associations: NSEAD, AEEA, ACED, EEASA and UNITWIN/UNESCO European network.Since 1999 DU has been taking part in ES SOCRATES/ERASMUS higher education programme. It cooperates with Murcia (Spain), Lund (Sweden), Bristol (England), Yelling (Denmark) and Fecht (Germany) universities and Swientoksis academy (Poland). Information about DU and about students’ social life is available in English. In 2002 seven DU lecturers and in 2003 eleven lecturers have taken in-service training abroad. In 2003 in cooperation with the Norwegian scientists DU has started work in the second phase of EU LEONARDO DA VINCI programme.

3.6. Regional cooperation in research and studiesThe cooperation between DU and Latgale Regional Development Agency (LRDA):

in 2002, during several working meetings, the cooperation trends between DU and LRDA have been specified;

the strategic development guidelines of the region have been established and the most urgent research trends and requirements elucidated;

participation in LRDA work groups and project developing groups; development of projects for EU Structural funds; research of the region.

The cooperation between DU and Daugavpils City Council: in 2003 , during several working meetings the trends of cooperation between DU

and Daugavpils City Council and most important needs have been specified;

12

DU representative’s (pro-rector of science) participation in the work of Daugavpils City Economic Development Commission;

to promote cooperation among regional areas (e.g. Daugavpils – Kielce (Poland)) through DU international contacts and cooperation partners;

agreement about bringing together students’ research themes and interests of city enterprises; organizing a competition for the best students’ research paper on the theme topical for the city;

the begin the cooperation between DU Young scientists’ Association and Economical Development Department at the Daugavpils City Council.

DU, being a regional university, is one of the founders of the association of Latvia’s Regional higher education institutions, and DU representatives are annual participants of The Daugava Fund board.

3.7. SummaryS T R O N G P O I N T S :

in accordance with DU strategy, the proportion and importance of the research activities for the development of the university have considerably grown; the number of professors and associate professors with the basic job at the establishment has also essentially grown;

the number of students of doctoral studies have essentially increased; 3 faculty scientific institutes have been founded; the Centre of Doctoral studies and Research Coordination and Information

department have been founded in the DU Department of Science; the amount of attracted financial resources has grown; the DU participation in

international and local research projects has increased; the cooperation with regional industrial enterprises and local authorities is

expanding; the international cooperation and exchange of students and lecturers are

becoming more extensive.W E A K P O I N T S :

insufficient and outdated technical support in laboratories; insufficient experience in project drafting; because of financial difficulties, a great number of regional industrial enterprises

do not participate in promoting the development of science, and their interest in cooperation with the university is insignificant.

S O L U T I O N S : working out projects for EU Structural funds, a purposeful renewal of technical

support for the research activities in accordance with DU strategy for the development of those branches of science which are topical for the area;

a rapid development of cooperation with industrial enterprises, joint project drafting, thus attracting serious investments for the development of science and ensuring technology transfer processes;

in-service training of DU scientists abroad in modern technologies, especially while working on promotion theses;

to go on with supporting fundamental theoretical research; a development and updating of doctoral studies in DU.

4.2. Increasing the professional efficiency of the academic staffThe university is persistent in increasing the professional efficiency of its academic staff (point 3.3.):

doctoral studies; research activities and participation in Latvia’s and international scientific

conferences; in-service training in European and USA higher education institutions; participation in courses and seminars of further education organized by Latvian

higher education institutions, public and professional organizations; a creative work of the academic staff (Appendix DU-11).

To promote the increase of the scientific and methodological activities of the academic staff, the DU Senate adopted a decision proposed by the Study Council about the distribution and registration of the academic staff workload (16.06.03.), Appendix DU-12.

4.3. SummaryS T R O N G P O I N T S :

the scientific qualification of the academic staff has considerably grown; 51% of DU lecturers have doctor’s degree;

in resent three years’ time the number of professors has increased 2.3 times and the number of associated professors – 1.3 times;

the academic staff is considerably younger than that in other Latvia’s higher education establishments;

15

to promote the increase of the proportion of the academic staff’s scientific and methodological activities, a new system of the workload distribution and registration has been created.

W E A K P O I N T S : the number of researches and leading researchers in DU is comparatively

smaller than the average indicator in other Latvia’s higher education establishments;

the number of lecturers and assistants in DU is relatively greater than the average indicator in other Latvia’s higher education establishments;

because of insufficient financing, the lecturers are not very active in having in-service training in universities abroad, and they seldom take leaves to do research.

S O L U T I O N S : every year to increase gradually the number of researchers and leading

researches so that in two years’ time it should reach the average indicator in the country;

to optimize the DU system of study and scientific activities so that it would stimulate the academic staff to have in-service training and go on research leaves.

5. DU MANAGEMENT

5.1. Management, administration and principal decision-making institutionsDU representative, management and decision-making institutions are Constitutional (Satversme) Meeting, Senate, Rector, Council of Students, Inspection committee, Court of arbitration (information: http://www.dau.lv, Management).The Const itut ional (Satversme) Meeting is both the higher DU management institution and decision-making body (Appendix 1).The Senate is an elected collegial management and decision-making body of the DU staff which approves order and rules regulating all spheres of work at the university: Senate settles issues relating to studies, research, administration and finance; Senate decides on the formation, reorganization and liquidation of new DU

structural units; Senate organizes committees, works out proposals and opinions about draft

resolutions within the frames of its competence.The Rector is elected by the DU Constitutional (Satversme) Meeting from professors for a term of not more than 5 years and not more than for two consecutive terms. The rector supervises and manages the DU activities and is responsible for the implementation of requirements of the Constitution (Satversme) and resolutions adopted by the Constitutional (Satversme) Meeting and the Senate. The Council of Students represents students’ interests in issues relating to academic, material and cultural life in DU and in other state institutions. In the Constitutional (Satversme) Meeting, Senate, Faculty Councils students have the rights to suspend a veto in issues bearing on their interests.The Inspection Committee inspects the conformity of all DU activities with legislation and regulations, DU Constitution and resolutions adopted by the management institutions. The committee is authorized to claim and receive explanations from officials as well to see any document pertaining to DU financial and administrative activities.The Court of Arbitrat ion considers conflicts between the DU officials who are in the relationships of subordination and the complaints of the students and academic staff

16

about the restrictions and violations of their academic liberties established by the Constitution (Satversme).

5.2. DU administrative management institutionsThe structure of the DU administrative management includes the Councils of Studies, Science, Economy (Maintenance), pro-rector for studies, pro-rector for science, director, executive director, record-keeping department, accountancy department, staff department, which all tackle problems important for the university life. The Council of Studies , being an institution which represents study programmes, considers, supervises and decides issues bearing on study programme implementation and coordination, evaluation and publishing of methodological aids. It also supervises the lecturer’s workloads and planning of the study process.The pro-rector for studies coordinates and manages issues relating to study content, organization and planning. The pro-rector also controls the work of the Study Department, the Study Quality Assessment Centre, the Library, the Further Education Study Centre in correspondence with the functional responsibilities. The pro-rector is elected by the DU Senate.The Council of Science , being an institution which represents branches and sub-branches of science, works out and adopts the strategy of research activities and coordinates the research. The pro-rector for science coordinates and manages the research planning and controls the work of the Department of Science, the publishing house “Saule”, the Foreign Relations Department. The pro-rector for science is elected by the DU Senate.The council of Economy (Maintenance) supervises economical activities, considers and decides issues relating to economic activities as well as organizes the work of a students’ hotel. The director, in correspondence with functional responsibilities, coordinates and manages the maintenance work. The director is appointed by the DU Senate and proposed by the rector. The executive director, in correspondence with functional responsibilities, coordinates the work of information systems, works out normative documents that are necessary for functioning of the information system and security of the data; he also manages the work of students’ and study crediting commission and Record-keeping department. The executive director is appointed by the DU Senate and proposed by the rector. The Record-keeping Department administers the documentation of DU work in conformity with Latvia’s state laws, legislation and regulations. Its work is coordinated by the executive director.The Accountancy Department ensures the financial activities of DU and regularly carries out the registration of material and financial resources pursuant to the law on “Accountancy of the Republic of Latvia”.The Staff Department organizes the employing of the staff, keeps, processes and hands over to the archives the personnel files of the academic staff, general staff and students in compliance with the requirements for record-keeping.

5.3. DU faculties and branchesDU study and research activities are carried out by 5 faculties:

Faculty of Education and Management, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Music and Art, Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics, Faculty of Social Sciences.

17

The faculty self-assessment reports are available in the DU website (http://www.dau.lv). The faculty activities are supervised by a dean who is elected by the Faculty Council and approved by the Senate. The Faculty Council settles the issues pertaining to study, economic, financial and other activities of the faculty and regulates the submission of these issues to the Senate. The Faculty Council is founded in compliance with the Faculty regulations. The activities of the faculty are prescribed by the regulations adopted by the Senate.DU has 23 chairs (Appendix DU-13) which implement the study and research work at faculties. The activities of the chair are managed by the chair staff meeting. The head of the chair, who is elected by the Faculty Council at an open competition, coordinates the work of a chair.Branches are DU structural units which have a certain organizing independence and which are territorially separated from the university (Appendix DU-14). The objective of the branches is to implement the DU accredited and licensed study programmes which are demanded by some region in Latvia. The application requesting to open a branch can be submitted by municipalities and education institutions. Programmes in branches are implemented by means of part time studies. The branches reduce the overloading of DU infrastructures during the session, permit to increase the number of contact hours during the academic year and do not overload students during the session.

5.4. Assurance of DU management DU organizational structure which is formed according to part 3 “Self-government and structural units of higher education establishments” of LR “Law on Higher Education Establishments” (http://www.izm.lv) ensures the implementation of DU aims and objectives.To promote the cooperation and coordinate the activities of the DU management and structural units in different levels, a schedule for regular meetings has been worked out (Appendix DU-15). At these meetings the managers furnish information about the prospective activities and receive and analyse information about what has already been done. Deans and heads of structural units, in their turn, inform the staff about current events at their own meetings (Faculty Council meetings, chair meetings). Managers of all levels organize information exchange and ensure possibilities to put forward proposals about possible improvements and internal control.To ensure a qualitative finance analysis, in 2003 the finance analyst was taken on the staff. The Budget Committee, established by the Senate, includes representatives from DU management and faculties, the chief accountant and the finance analyst. The committee ensures a proper use of finances and transparency.DU is one of the first Latvia’s Higher education establishments which established the Councillors’ Convention. The Councillors’ Convention has consultative rights, it promotes the coordination of DU activities with the interests of the society, and it advises and makes proposals for the Senate and the rector about DU development strategy.The representatives of the DU management regularly participate in meetings organized by the Rectors’ council of Latvia’s higher education establishments, in seminars held by MES Department of Higher Education and Science and in experience exchange seminars on the quality of the management of higher education.The representatives of DU Accountancy department take part in seminars and courses organized for the accountants of the budget and self-governing institutions, in the forum of Latvia’s accountants. The representatives of the record-keeping and staff departments participate in seminars on Labour law, on state and municipality purchases, on practical staff record-keeping.

18

The students’ self-government includes representatives from all faculties, who, in their turn, elect the Students’ Council and student representatives to faculty councils and the DU Senate. Students’ rights are completely observed in the university.

5.5. SummaryS T R O N G P O I N T S :

the cooperation system of the management, administration and decision-making institutions has been improved;

the DU structure has been optimized by establishing new faculties, institutes and administrative structural units;

the adoption and exchange of the experience of other Latvian and foreign higher education establishments on the issues of management quality assurance have been promoted;

the Budget Committee is responsible for strategic issues of finances, thus assuring the transparency of the use of financial resources;

the students’ self-government as well as other public organizations get more frequently involved into the process of the DU management and administration.

W E A K P O I N T S : there are certain shortcomings in the evaluation of the DU management

activities; the internal information exchange system which is to provide DU staff members

and students with the information about the decisions adopted by the administration does not function effectively enough;

the decisions adopted by the administration and decision-making institutions are not sufficiently reflected in the university newspaper and DU website.

S O L U T I O N S : to analyse management quality assurance and information exchange systems in

other Latvian and foreign higher education establishments and adopted their positive experience;

to improve the work of internal information exchange and the information exchange with the society.

6. DU RESOURCES AND FINANCING

6.1. LibraryThe DU library fund is 326863; it comprises: books – 281367, periodicals – 29469, sheet music publications – 15729, other publications – 298 (Appendix DU-16).To improve the DU library work new technologies are used:

Internet; electronic catalogue ALISE (Advanced Library Information Service); an automated readers’ service system; since 2002 a joint project of DU and

Latgale Central libraries “The integration of Daugavpils regional public libraries and the DU library into VVBI has been launched. Within the framework of the project the library has joined the system of “Single reader’s card”, thus since December 2002, readers can use funds and services of 13 Latvia’s bigger libraries;

a complete electronic text data basis EBSCO Publishing (it comprises 8 data bases: Academic Search Elite, Business Source Premier, Master FILE Priemer, Newspaper Source, ERIC, Business Wire News, MEDLINE, Health Source – Consumer Edition, Agrikola).

19

6.2. Lecture rooms, laboratories, study-roomsThe DU teaching process is organized in 4 buildings:

13,Vienibas iela (Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Natural sciences and Mathematics),

1, Parades iela (Faculty of Natural sciences and Mathematics, Faculty of Education and Management, Faculty of Social sciences),

1/3, Saules iela (Faculty of Music and Arts), 1, Kandavas iela (Sport Complex).

Field practice is carried out in Agrobiological laboratory “Namejs” and in a teaching basis “Ilgas”. There are premises in each building to ensure a teaching process: lecture rooms, laboratories and study rooms for small group work and big lecture rooms for delivering lectures to numerous groups. A survey on lecture rooms, laboratories and study rooms is given in Appendix DU-17.

6.3. Use of computers, audio and video equipmentIn recent years the number and the intensity of the use of computers and audio-visual aids during the study process have considerably grown. The indicators showing the information intensity level are given in Appendix DU-18. The number of audio-visual equipment is sufficient to supply all lecture rooms and study rooms with this equipment. The computer equipment needed for the study process is placed mainly in computer classes. Part of computers is in the chairs and specialized laboratories.

6.4. Information assuranceThe Information Technology Centre (ITC) has an important role in providing information assurance for studies and research (Appendix DU-18). ITC is responsible for Internet connection and provides other Internet services to university students and staff, to Daugavpils city and region schools and higher education institutions and the residents of the city. DU is connected to Internet by a 10 Mb/s full duplex line with the biggest Latvian Internet Service – Latnet.The university has its own website www.dau.lv, which holds information about study possibilities, research novelties, conferences, students’ activities and current events in the university life.The ITC is also responsible for the participation in the realization of the system for providing Latvia’s education with information (LIIS), for the development of the DU information system (DUIS) as well as for training the DU staff to use this system.

6.5. Assurance of students’ social life and recreationDU admission regulations state that all students who have arrived in Daugavpils from other places in Latvia should be provided with a place in a university hotel for the whole period of studies. The dwelling space in the hotels is big enough to meet the students’ demand. In 5 university hotels there live 1038 students. There are about 10 square meters per student (the space also includes premises for common use and other hotel premises). At present, students who live in our hotels pay less than students of other higher education institutions. Hotels have premises for personal hygiene, showers and kitchens. However, it is necessary to modernize a heating system in the hotels. A perspective schedule for repair work has been made up; unfortunately, this is entailed with big capital investments which DU lacks at present. DU is the only Latvia’s higher education establishment, which provides all student families with separate rooms in the university hotels. All the necessary conditions have been created in the hotels so that the students could also have their meals there. There are premises for recreation there

20

either. The hotel at 6, Sporta iela is connected to Internet, and the computer net in the hotel is served by the students, who are in the study programme “Programmer”. There is a Health Centre in DU. To restrict the morbidity rate, anti-epidemic measures are taken and vaccination is carried out. Students can receive free medical injection courses. To give the first or emergency aid the health centre has the necessary medicine and medical instruments purchased for the state budget means. The students who live in the university hotels have regular medical check-ups. The dental services are also available at the health centre.The Council of Students and the Student Club are responsible for the recreation of students. The traditional activities of the university students are celebrating the anniversary of the adoption of DU Constitution (Satversme), Aristotle festivity, “freshers” ball, fancy-ball, the celebration of International Students’ day, competitions – “Students”, “One against three”, dance-group “Laima” concert etc.The main task of the Sport Club is the involvement of students into various sport activities by organizing different competitions and mass sport activities. The most favourite kinds of sport at the university are table tennis, volley-boll, swimming and track and field athletics. Traditional activities are: “Aerobics for All”, “DU Grand Prize”. The selected teams of the university participate and achieve good results not only in the competitions organized by Latvia universities but also in the International student sports and games (Appendix DU-19).

6.6. FinancingThe DU budget consists of:

the basic budget (subsidy from general revenues, services and other revenues earned by the university);

the state budget transfers (grants); financing of scientific research from international programmes; other revenues (participation in scientific projects, state commissioned projects,

market oriented projects etc).The DU basic budget revenues consist of general revenues and revenues earned from services. The structure of the revenues earned form commercial services is the following: from tuition fees – 83%, from basing premises and university hotel services – 14%, from other commercial services and self-earned revenues – 3%. When planning the basic budget of the financial year the calculations of the contingent are done and the number of students is prognosticated. Income which DU receives for commercial services is paid into the account opened in the public treasury and are used for financing expenditures in line with the financing plan adopted by the Ministry of Education and Science. The share of expenditures from the basic budget is made up from: current expenditures which include wages and other current expenditures, subsidies and grants, which includes stipends and compensation of travelling costs, capital expenditures.A rational distribution and use of financial resources is necessary so that the university could successfully carry out scientific, study and economic activities. Subsidies from the state budget do not cover DU expenditures. Therefore faculties and chairs try to find additional financing. In the total DU budget these revenues make up 83% from self-earned revenues and 28.2% from total allocations of 2002. The self-earned revenues from tuition fees are included in the DU budget and are used according to the estimates drawn up by faculties.On comparing the DU total financing by years (1998-2002), it is obvious that it has gone up 1.3 times, but the share of state financing has gone up only for 11%. In 4 years’ time revenues from tuition fees have grown 2.3 times. In 2002 Ls19747 were attracted additionally as LCS grants and Ls26550 through international projects and contracts.

21

The DU long-term financial plan for 2004-2009 and the results of the DU financial activity are shown in Appendix DU-20.

6.7. SummaryS T R O N G P O I N T S :

new technologies are used to improve the DU library work; two free-access reading-rooms have been opened; in several fields the exchange projects of scientific literature are successfully

being carried out; study premises, students’ hostels and the sport complex are being repaired and

renovated; the number of computer technologies and audio-visual equipment and the

intensity of their employment in the study process have considerably increased; in 4 years’ time the revenues from tuition fees have gone up 2.3 times.

W E A K P O I N T S : several structural units are not efficient enough in attracting finance from Latvia

and EU funds, industrial enterprises and local municipalities; a structural unit which would be engaged in working out macro projects has not

yet been established at the university.S O L U T I O N S :

wider cooperation with local authorities and enterprises in drawing up joint projects for EU structural funds;

establishing of the project and economic development department; modernization of infrastructure.

7. QUALITY ASSURANCE

7.1. Development PlanDaugavpils University development possibilities and prospects are determined in the DU long-term development plan (Appendix 2) which has been worked out for the period of 2001-2010. The principal priorities of a long-term development in studies and scientific work are:

development of academic and professional study programmes taking into account regional interests and Latvia’s development towards EU;

rapid development of DU scientific potential and its scientific assurance which will ensure integration of the university into European Higher Education Area and European Science Area.

A short-term development plan has been worked out in compliance with the established development trends and priorities and is aimed at ensuring the implementation of tasks determined by the DU long-term plan. At present the main short-term development trends in study and scientific work are:

quality assurance in three-level (bachelor, master, doctoral) study programmes; development of the scientific potential in natural, humanitarian, education and

social sciences; preparing projects for EU structural funds; development of infrastructure in DU scientific institutes.

7.2. Quality AssessmentQuality control and management is a continuous process and is realized:

by enrolling students; by taking on the academic and general staff;

22

during examination sessions – for students; by evaluating and improving study programmes; by evaluating structural units and their management according to the results of

the research and study activities; by evaluating work efficiency and implementation of quality perfection tasks of

DU managers of various levels.The two main quality assessment forms are:

external assessment – licensing, accreditation and independent expert evaluation;

self-assessment – a system of assuring internal quality.The Republic of Latvia Ministry of Education and Science and the Quality Assessment Centre for Higher Education in cooperation with the higher education establishment are responsible for external quality control (licensing, accreditation).Chairs and faculties are responsible for internal quality control of study work, and their work is coordinated and administered by the Study Quality Assessment Centre (SQAC) and the Study Council confirmed by the Senate (point 2.4.)At present, DU is developing a complex approach to quality assessment in structural units. The issues relating to DU development and quality management are not being analysed thoroughly enough. It involves certain difficulties to conduct surveys among graduates because in this state there is no unified data base of the employment of graduates. Therefore development and quality assurance issues should take an important place in the DU development conception.

7.3. Prospects of the Graduates in the Labour MarketHaving summarized applicant opinion surveys about their motivation to study at Daugavpils University, we established that one of the factors mentioned there most frequently was wide opportunities in the labour market. Programmes like „Economics”, „Science of Law”, „Physiotherapy”, „Computer Science”, master study programme „Management of Society and Institutions” have been worked out, licensed, and started to be implemented by the proposal of the local municipality and the DU Councillors’ Convention. Part of the programmes has received municipality financial support. Owners of firms of Daugavpils industrial zone are greatly interested in the study programme „Computer Science” while regional branches of banks are interested in the study programme „Economics”. Master study programme „Management of Society and Institutions” is necessary for all state civil service institutions working in the region because it is the programme for training civil servants.The „Teachers’ Employment Bureau” of Latvian Education and Science establishment trade union informs that graduates from DU find their jobs independently. To acquaint the employers with the DU graduates and their possibilities the study programme „Physiotherapy” does everything possible to involve students in the work of seminars organized by the Association of Latvian Physiotherapeutists and, in their turn, potential employers get involved in the study process, in supervising clinical practice and participating in final examinations. The major part of those who study in master and doctoral study programmes „Pedagogy” are themselves employers. By maintaining cooperation with employers it is possible to improve the level of professional education programmes so that they become even more competitive. The research carried out by the teachers of mathematics in South Eastern Latvia shows that in 85% of schools of Latgale and Selia mathematics is taught by DU graduates.The fact that part of DU graduates work in municipalities of Latgale and Vidzeme, in ministries and are elected to the Saeima (Parliament) testifies to the high prestige of education acquired at DU.

23

DU education quality has been evaluated in an independent research „Daugavpils University as a Development Centre of Latgale Area – Promotion of the Dialogue between Higher Education and Labour Market” (http://www.politika.lv) which was carried out in 2002 and was supported by the SOROS Foundation – Latvia (project 2001 – 063 – 0, project report – 50 pages).The research was carried out by the University of Latvia Institute of Philosophy and Sociology „PROVIDUS”. Principal conclusions and proposals of the research are published in the academic article „The Position of Daugavpils University Graduates in the Labour Market”, which is included in a survey „Changes in Latvian Education: Challenge to the Management of the System. Survey on Education in Latvia 2001/2002”.(Appendix DU-21).The methodological basis of the research is the human capital theory approach in which education is considered from the economic efficiency point of view and the coefficients of private and social education are obtained.The conclusion of the research is essential – economic return, both private and social, from bachelor and master education in Daugavpils University is positive. On comparing DU economic return with measurements of other countries, the researchers concluded that, first, it was rather high, and, second, in Latvia’s situation Daugavpils University education is economically efficient (bachelors’ social return value is 4.1% but that of masters’ – 8.5%; the obtained education return coefficients are higher than the average inflation level in Latvia in recent years – 3% a year).Within an individual context the DU graduates find jobs after graduating from the university and cases when the basic job of the graduates required lower qualification than that obtained in the university, were relatively few.Within the context of the Daugavpils city and the Daugavpils region development the economic return from the education of graduates is positive, and it promotes solving the problem of unemployment in the Daugavpils city and region.Within the context of regional development the research showed that „the major part of graduates works in the state sector”.The research underlines the strategic necessity to develop the quality of DU activities, towards promoting to employ human capital in entrepreneurial activities and education acquired at DU should promote raising productivity in private enterprises. The research recommends to introduce study programmes in engineering, entrepreneurship, law, agricultural specialities, and to make use of the experience of regional universities in Western countries in maintaining partner relationships with entrepreneurial structures, local employers and professional associations.From the DU activity quality development point of view the recommendations of the research:

testify to the viability of the present DU study programmes within all the contexts singled out by the research;

confirm DU strategic development plans – simultaneously with academic programmes, develop new professional study programmes required by the region and the state which will thus meet the needs of a private sector for specialists of adequate qualification.

It is an opportunity of perspective and sustained development which, step by step, DU acquires through internal discussions and DU Convention, through gradual process of deepening partner relationships between the regional development agency and Daugavpils University and through strategic harmonizing of the development with the management of the Daugavpils city and region.

24

7.4. Possibilities to Continue StudiesThe Cabinet of Ministers Regulations „On the Procedure of Licensing of Study Programmes Implemented in Higher Education Establishments” and „On Accreditation of Higher Educational Establishments and Study Programmes” envisage that the higher educational establishment submits documents which confirm that the submitter of the study programme will ensure possibilities for the students to continue education in another study programme or in another higher education establishment (financial substantiation or a contract with another accredited higher education establishment) in case the implementation of the study programme is interrupted.Pursuant these regulations, on licensing and accrediting the study programmes, DU has concluded cooperation agreements with other Latvian Higher education establishments (University of Latvia, Riga Technical University, Police Academy of Latvia, Liepaja Academy of Pedagogy, Riga Stradins University) which implement identical study programmes so as to guarantee the possibility for the students to study at another education institution if the implementation of the study programme is interrupted.After finishing the basic studies the DU graduates can continue to study in master studies (after that also in doctoral studies) and also in professional further education programmes in DU or in other higher education establishment of Latvia.

7.5. SummaryS T R O N G P O I N T S :

DU continues to improve the system of quality assurance; Economic return (both private and social) from bachelor and master education is

positive; DU ensures the possibilities for the students to continue studies.

W E A K P O I N T S : there is no systematic approach to developing and discussing long-term and

short-term development plan.S O L U T I O N S :

to form the DU long-term and short-term development planning system; to form a unified system of the DU activity quality control and analysis.

8. SUMMARYS T R O N G P O I N T S :

Protocol No1

DAUGAVPILS UNIVERSITY DEVELOPMENT

CONCEPTION (2001-2010)

Daugavpils University (DU) is a regional higher education, science and culture centre uniting the main studies and research potential of Eastern Latvia in the spheres of natural, social and educational sciences and the humanities. The mission of Daugavpils University is to provide high quality studies and scientific research corresponding to modern level, forming intellectual basis for the harmonic development of Latgale region.

42

Since Daugavpils Pedagogical Institute was awarded the status of the university (on February 22nd 1993), Daugavpils Pedagogical University has worked out and approved at the Senate three documents of long-term development: “DPU long-term development” (April 3rd, 1993), “DPU long-term development conception till the year 2000” (December 19th 1994) and “Strategic plan of DPU development” (December 23rd

1996).

Taking into consideration the high studies and research potential of Daugavpils Pedagogical University as well as the great experience in training wide range of teachers, it was emphasized in the long-term development documents that also in future, remaining the biggest teacher training higher school in Latgale and one of the biggest in Latvia, DPU should meet the ever growing demands also for non-pedagogical specialists.

Being aware of its role as the only university of Eastern Latvia and of its place among other higher schools of Latvia, taking into consideration Latgale development plan, national conception of higher education and development of higher schools in the Republic of Latvia, the law of Higher schools, since the adoption of the documents of its development, DPU pays special attention to raising the scientific and study potential, to widening the opportunities of academic and professional studies, raising the quality of the studies with the aim to strengthen DPU competitiveness in the environment of Latvia and international higher schools, to connect the studies with future oriented, changing public and social needs and requirements, to provide the youth of Latgale with qualitative academic and professional education. According to statistics since 1990 the number of students from Latgale has doubled, but in 1997 approximately half of the students studied at Latgale higher schools, the second half studied at Riga higher schools. There is a tendency of the youth flow from Latgale to Riga and other towns of Latvia. It creates irreversible, negative consequences for the economy in the whole Eastern Latvia.

The aims of Daugavpils University activity

1. To function as a university of regional significance in the spheres of natural, educational and social sciences and the humanities creating possibilities for comprehensive high level studies and research based on academic knowledge.

2. To offer qualitative study programmes and carry out research in accordance with the development of labour market and public challenges.

5. The Study Board as the representative institution of study programmes coordinates the implementation of the study programmes at DU.

6. The Science Council as the representative institution of science branches and sub-branches coordinates the research at DU.

7. The formation and development of DU structure should take place with the aim to decentralize management/administration, to raise the responsibility of the faculties and their academic and financial independence. Study programmes, institutes, chairs (departments) and groups of professors should become the basis in academic and research work.

Development of Daugavpils University academic staff

1. In accordance with the Constitution (Satversme) DU academic staff are the elected professors, associated professors, docents, lecturers, assistants, leading researchers and researchers. The academic staff has to embrace all the science branches and sub-branches represented at the university.

2. To improve self-evaluation, evaluation in order to analyze and forecast the further development in accordance with DU strategic and regional development plan. To improve the system of circulation/rotation of academic staff which would

promote the attraction of highly qualified specialists providing them with respective working conditions and payment.

Being aware of the role of academic staff in the organization and conduction of the study process and research, to ensure adequate proportion between the centralized management/administration of the study process and research and decentralization, with the aim to raise the responsibility of the staff for the quality of the study work and the level of scientific research.

Development of academic and professional study programmes

DU offers academic study programmes of two levels: for obtaining bachelor and master degrees as well as professional study programmes for obtaining professional qualification. The period of studies in bachelor programmes is 3-4 years, in master programmes – 2 years, in professional study programmes – from 1 till 5 years depending on the way of implementing the programmes.

Academic study programmes for obtaining bachelor and master degrees in natural, educational and social sciences and the humanities have been worked out and successfully have been examined by international experts. Professional study programmes for obtaining teacher’s qualification have been improved almost in all the subjects taught at basic school and at secondary school.

44

Corresponding to the envisaged structure of demands for non-pedagogical specialities, tourism and excursion organizer, programmer, computer designer, economist-accountant, actor and culture work organizer, physiotherapeutist, translator professional study programmes have been developed.

The public challenge made topical the necessity to evaluate the study programmes contents, the study work organizational experience and to determine the further development of study programmes:

1. To carry out the unification of the study programmes grouping them according to the classification of study programmes into four groups (for obtaining bachelor and master degree in natural, educational and social sciences and the humanities) and ensuring a rational use of academic resources thus raising the quality of studies.

2. To improve professional study programmes forming them as 1-2 years study programmes which have completed bachelor studies as an academic basis or as 4-5 years study programmes with the possibility to obtain professional bachelor degree.

8. To develop sports and healthcare study programmes.

Development of further education

The information age drastically changes society and creates the demands for people who are able to process information critically and analytically, who are able to reorientate in order to meet the new requirements. The demand for such people can be satisfied orienting and leading education towards correspondence to the employment system and envisaged labour market and emphasizing the necessity of further education:

1. To work out and develop further education study programmes related to management of entrepreneurship activity, clerical work, book-keeping, culture education, psychology, acquisition of languages, the application of the possibilities of computers and computer nets/webs and others.

2. To continue the development of further education study programmes for obtaining teacher’s additional qualification and improving professional mastership and skills.

3. To offer possibilities of further education also in distance learning by developing and strengthening the work of Distance learning study centre.

45

Daugavpils University scientific research development

Scientific research is not only one of the main functions of higher education, but it is also the pre-condition of its academic quality. In its scientific development DU takes into consideration the strategies determined by the state and Latvian Science Council, as well as regional economic and cultural social peculiarities. DU ensures high quality studies and scientific research corresponding to modern level based on the unity of higher education and science.

In accordance with European Union science and technology thematic programmes and participation of Latvian scientists in them, as well as taking into account the present scientific potential of DU and its role in scientific activity of eastern Latvia, the priority research directions for the cooperation with European, Latvian higher schools and regional institutions are:

1. Development of information technologies and modern communication means.2. Working out new materials and technologies for micro-electronics.3. Biological diversity and environmental protection.4. Entomology.5. Lettonica (the Latvian language, literature, history of culture, history).6. Foreign languages, literature and culture.7. Didactics of modern pedagogical theory and natural sciences.8. Problems of promoting economy, social science and healthcare.

In the context of DU international cooperation and fast regional development in the international activity to follow the following criteria:

1. Internationally recognized level of research.2. Wide integration of research and study work ensuring the corresponding

level of research in bachelor and master study programmes.3. Development of innovative scientific branches.4. Connection of fundamental and applied research with national economy,

culture and social sphere.

Regional science cannot develop without international cooperation and including in international projects. Practice of the most developed countries has proved the necessity of cooperation in science. Since 1993 DU has participated in 7 PHARE projects the means of which were used for the development of information technologies, modernization of study and scientific laboratories, raising the qualification of study and scientific laboratories, raising qualification of the academic staff and administrative staff and essential improvement of Foreign Affairs Department. One of the most topical problems of Latvian higher schools concerning also DU is the renewal of scientific (academic) staff and its circulation/rotation as well as attraction of means for research.

In order to direct successfully scientific activity it is necessary:1. To attract new and able specialists to scientific and study work at DU

increasing the number of places at doctoral studies as well as covering the expenses of doctoral studies.

2. In addition to the existing doctoral studies in foreign literature, comparative literary studies, social psychology, solid state physics, contrastive linguistics, higher pedagogics sub-branches, to begin studies in other sub-branches: differential equation, modern elementary mathematics and mathematical didactics, zoology, ecology, etc.

3. Gradually with growing of the number of highly qualified specialists to form new promotion boards of experts conferring scientific degrees in

46

linguistics, biology, physics, psychology in order to enhance the increase of promotion coefficient among the graduates of doctoral studies.

4. To develop research directions characteristic of classical university and to begin the publication of scientific articles and journals at DU, the publications of which are internationally recognized, as well as to increase the publicity of research by organizing international conferences, seminars, schools.

5. To emphasize the research in those scientific branches which most of all influence the economic, social, and cultural development of the region.

6. To continue to form laboratories and institutes.7. To continue to attract the means for research:

participating more in LSA doctoral studies, research grants and programmes competitions,

involving more intensively in EU scientific cooperation programmes and grants, NATO and UNESCO programmes,

cooperating with entrepreneurs, forming centres of expertise and science parks,

founding research foundations.

Daugavpils University international cooperation in the sphere of studies and research

In offering possibilities of studies and research DU should be competitive with similar educational establishments in Europe being notable among them with the ability to present Latvian cultural values and cultural values of historical minorities living in Latvia (the region). DU takes into consideration the interests of Latvia and priorities of national economy in the country and the region as well as the requirements of European Union in academic education. The further development of Daugavpils University in connected with the demands of regional economy and European integration. DU international cooperation began to develop fast after regaining of Latvia’s independence. Now international cooperation (the process of internationalization of education and science) develops with more than 20 countries higher schools in the following spheres:

Concluding mutual agreements of cooperation. Participation in international educational and research programmes and projects. Cooperation on the level of faculties, departments and individual level.

In recent years international cooperation has essentially widened in the study and research spheres, in solving the problems of higher schools management.

In order to get involved successfully in international cooperation and to follow the dynamics of European and world countries universities development it is necessary:

To continue uninterruptedly to improve the strategy in international cooperation, evaluation of possibilities and different approaches determining clear priorities.

To work in international university associations. To participate in long-term annual conferences devoted to the development

of education and science organized by EU.

In further international cooperation policy of Daugavpils University special attention should be paid to the development of study and research programmes and their coordination. For reaching the above mentioned aims it is necessary:

47

1. To internationalize study programmes including in them special courses or modules which the students of DU can acquire also at foreign universities or foreign students can acquire at Daugavpils University.

2. To continue to support the existing cooperation within the framework of mutual agreements and to participate actively in the study and research programmes offered by EU, Nordic Council of Ministers, German Academic Mobility Service, Swedish Institute, the British Council, NATO, UNO.

3. To improve cooperation of DU Foreign Affairs department with the respective foreign universities institutions by organizing foreign exchange agency branches at the university in addition to the existing ones.

4. To improve the possibilities for the students of DU to acquire the languages of cooperation countries as well as to form study programmes in English, German for foreign students at the same time providing DU Scientific library with the corresponding study literature.

5. Being aware that it is very important to popularize the Latvian language and culture in Europe and the world the foreign students should have a possibility to study the Latvian language, history of culture as well as to carry out other research connected with Latvia at Daugavpils University, and also with the help of distance learning programme.

Development of quality management and strengthening institutional democracy

The quality of studies and research is one of the cornerstones in higher education and is the factor that forms the quality of society. By quality we understand the correspondence of studies and research to the requirements of the time in market society and to the objectives of university activity as well as the ability to improve studies and research when the aims of the activities change. For maintaining the quality it is necessary:

1. To improve the system of university management/administration envisaging greater rights and responsibilities to the heads of structural units for the quality of studies and research and development.

2. To carry out regular self-evaluation of university structural units considering it as an essential contribution to the development and modernization of structural units.

3. To use effectively self-evaluation of academic staff development enhancing the awareness of all members of structural unit that each of them is responsible for the quality and for introducing the improvement of it.

4. To improve the system of self-evaluation of study programmes with the aim to form the mechanism of study quality control for strategic planning and development. To carry out the organizational optimization of studies ensuring succession

and transparency qualitatively improving the procedure of examinations. Regularly to review the contents of studies and examinations freeing it from

excessive factological material. To strengthen the participation of the students in forming the study process

and in evaluation of study didactic aspects.

Ensuring the succession of studies and research

1. To form the provision of study and research environment satisfying DU students and academic staff and promoting maintenance of study and research quality (technical equipment of classrooms and study rooms, modernization of

48

laboratories, widening the computer net, connection with Internet, including students hotels etc.)

2. To carry out updating and widening of DU scientific library infrastructure and funds, essentially increasing the purchasing of scientific literature and subscription to periodicals. To promote the reform and development of scientific library information basis.

3. To develop the study informative provision.4. To form Daugavpils University information system (DUIS) for the effective and

qualitative organization of the study process, for rational forecasting of budget means, planning, administrative and management based on the objective and timely information about the students, the procedure of studies, and the resources necessary for the studies and research.

5. To form everyday conditions oriented towards students (improvement of students’ hotels, widening catering (canteens) etc.), to widen students’ possibilities to go in for sports, to get involved in culture life.

Development of information system

Modern higher school cannot function without developed information system. For two years the work has been going on developing Daugavpils University Information System (DUIS) as the subsystem of Latvian educational information system (LEIS). The formation of information net/web will allow to improve the administration, clerical, book-keeping work, and the possibilities of information exchange. Our aim and task is to equip all computerized work-places with the possibility to have access to Internet and Intranet till 2003.

For further development it is necessary:1. To form data base (study programmes and course register, premises register,

staff register, orders register, students’ register, structural units register).2. To work out the necessary normative documents for DUIS functioning and data

protection.3. To pass over to registering the staff and students, registration for the studies as

well as preparation of statistical surveys using the possibilities of DUIS.4. To pass over to registering students’ academic record, analysis and preparation

of diploma appendices using DUIS.5. To create pre-conditions (technical possibilities, normative documents) in order

to pass over to e-governance, decreasing time expenditure for preparation of the staff documents and speeding up the turnover of the documents, improving the control of the fulfilment/execution.

6. For rational work of accountancy to provide book-keeping data compatibility with DUIS that will allow to supervise financial planning and use and also to control the students’ payments in a simple and operative way.

7. To create a possibility for the students to control THEIR data, payments, academic record etc.

8. To develop the provision of access to Internet for all the students and academic staff in computer classes, students hotels, and also reading halls of the libraries at specially organized work places.

9. Using new technologies to work at the formation of ‘Virtual library’. To carry out the record of the readers and books with the help of DUIS.

Development of financial management.

49

In recent years there is the contradiction between quickly growing public demand for the qualitative education and inadequate state budget financing for maintaining higher schools. Therefore a special attention should be paid to improvement of financial management under conditions of limited financing. For this purpose it is necessary:

1. To search for new sources of income, introducing more widely various kinds of payment services.

2. To activate attraction of means outside the state budget forming the study support funds.

3. To evaluate the possibilities and necessity for DU structural units to pass over to full or limited financial independence giving them the rights and responsibilities to handle financial means.

4. To consider that DU structural units financial means are formed as a part of DU state budget for education as well as from obtained financial means from structural units for the payment studies, research projects, programmes, contract work and from entrepreneurship activity.

5. To improve the management of DU infrastructure evaluating the effectiveness of its work.

6. To improve the mechanism of distributing state budget financial means introducing the normative and coefficient system in financial distribution in study programmes.

7. To practice the adoption of collegiate decisions in distribution of finances based on the project worked out by university administration and the budget commission introducing contracts between the rector and faculties and institutes.

8. To increase the role of primary administrative level (directors of study programmes, heads of chairs (departments), conductors of projects a.o.) and its responsibility for the adoption of decisions about the use of finances.

9. To form computerized information system for the decentralization of financial management, which ensures the exchange of operative information and makes easier the adoption of decisions.

10. To improve the principles of payment for work taking into consideration the participation of the academic staff in the implementation of the study programmes and research projects and based on the record of work amount and the quality of work.
