To celebrate the strength and diversity of Latvian science, the Ministry of Education and Science has, for the third consecutive year, produced a calendar highlighting 12 contemporary Latvian scientists and their achievements. Among them is Dr.sc.ing. Jānis Rižikovs, Senior Researcher at the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry!
In his work, Jānis Rižikovs believes in positive outcomes and holds that the goal of becoming part of a major project that benefits the entire world is achievable. The most important principle, he says, is to never give up—no matter the challenges faced along the way.
A video feature about Jānis Rižikovs produced by “Science for Latvia” is available as part of the Zinātne Latvijai calendar initiative: Jānis Rižikovs
