Signet Bank supports the conference “Synergy of Humanitarian and Natural Sciences in History and Theory of Culture”

With the support of Signet Bank, on June 16-17, 2022, Riga will host the 2nd International Scientific Conference organized by the Doctoral Program of the Art Academy of Latvia, which has become an annual event of the art industry.

The conference will be attended by both Latvian and several international scientists and lecturers, who will speak on the central theme of this year’s conference – “Synergy of Humanitarian and Natural Sciences in History and Theory of Culture”.

In the ecosystem of modern hybridization, when the fields of art and science are experiencing the strongest convergence process to date in the history of mankind, there is an expansion of research horizons. Machine learning, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, biometrics, algorithms, data and other digitization innovations introduce major changes to conventional research areas and techniques. This contributes to changes in the points of connection and separation between the branches of art and science, giving humanity a new experience, which is reflected in both ideographic and nomothetic research. Recognizing the significant and far-reaching impact of such synergies on society, we are truly proud to support the conference while promoting the value orientation of sustainability.
