Latvian Academy of Sciences through decades and centuries
Trapenciere, Ilze
In 2020, the Latvian Academy of Sciences (LAS) marked the 205th anniversary since the foundation of Academia – Courland (Kurzeme) Society for Literature and Art. This society served as the first Academy of Sciences in the Baltic provinces of the Russian Empire until 1939. The Latvian SSR Academy of Sciences was founded in 1946. The Academy was composed of individual members and a large number of research institutes, libraries, and other institutions, which served as the leading research system in Latvia for 45 years. The Academy introduced and developed branches of modern science previously absent in Latvia. The contemporary independent Latvian Academy of Sciences was founded in 1992. The Academy is governed by the Statutes of the LAS (1992) and the Charter of the LAS (ratified in 1997 by the Parliament, Republic of Latvia). In accordance to the Charter, the Latvian Academy of Sciences has clear duties and responsibilities: promote an active role in the development of the science policy and advice to the parliament and government; participate in scientific expertise of different governmental programmes, protect and promote principles and traditions of scientific research ethics (Art. 4).
