SAF Scholarships for RTU students

Students of Riga Technical University, Faculty of Electronics and
Telecommunications, will receive scholarships of SAF Tehnika JSC, a designer
and developer of telecommunications equipment.

Starting with January, 2006, second year students of RTU, Faculty of Electronics
and Telecommunications, will have a possibility to enter in a competition and
apply for a monthly scholarship in amount of LVL 50. Besides scholarships,
SAF Tehnika will ensure a 2 years employment to 2 winners of the competition,
after having taken the bachelor’s degree. At present, regulations of the
competition are being elaborated and will be available in RTU, Faculty of
Electronics and Telecommunications in January.

“At present, the catastrophic situation in engineering education is being
actively discussed in Latvia government and society. Lack of qualified
employees is a significant threat to any company development and I believe
that our step represents SAF Tehnika willingness to support prospective experts
of the industry,“ says Normunds Bergs, chairman of the board of SAF Tehnika.
“However, it is not enough with SAF Tehnika contribution and the situation
will not change without a serious reform and investment in a primary and
secondary education that should aim at acquiring basics of mathematics and
natural sciences,” continues N.Bergs.

SAF Tehnika has already supported a project connected with education “Youth in
a labour market”, including the popular LTV1 program “Kurp dodies?” produced by
YouthConsulting. Further, the company is actively participating and co-financing
LEtERA (Latvian Electrical Engineering and Electronics Industry Association) and
PHARE projects managed by Ventspils city council to establish a modern EMC
laboratory, worth EUR 1 M, and development of new educational programs for
students of electronics and electrical engineering.
