Recently Riga Technical University (RTU) has established the EMC laboratory in order to promote scientific cooperation between the university and the industry by means of applied research where particularly electronic engineering graduate level students are most actively involved. A strong emphasis has been given to extend cooperation with international research organisations and industry based on bilateral research agreements or collaboration within the European Commission’s 7th Framework Program on EMC topic. This initiative facilitates the introduction of the industry driven approach into RTU curriculum in particularly for EMC research involving several PhD students and researchers to this topic
