We are grateful to Signet Bank for its support, which helps strengthen the dialogue between science, art, and society.

Signet Bank supports long-term initiatives that promote the exchange of knowledge, education, and cultural development, fostering dialogue between the academic community, the creative industries, and society.

Art, culture, and science help society better understand itself and the processes taking place around it. By supporting the Latvian Academy of Art’s international scientific conference, we are investing in a platform where researchers, ideas, and experiences from various fields come together.
