Latvian Academy of Sciences (pdf) (Latvijas Zinātņu akadēmija, 2019)

The years 1815, 1869, 1932, 1936, 1946, and 1992 that are embroidered on the flag of the Latvian Academy of Sciences mark the important moments in its history.

In 1815, the war with Napoleon had ended. The teaching staff of the Academic Gymnasium (Academia Petrina) at Mitau (present Jelgava, Latvia), or the Mitau Distinguished High-School (Gymnasium illustre), once they recognised that the decision to establish a University had been taken in favour of location at Dorpat (present Tartu, Estonia), nonetheless did not wish to remain outside academic, scholarly society. This consideration led to the Courland (Kurzeme) Society for Literature and Art (Kurländische Gesellschaft für Literatur und Kunst) being founded in 1815; the event may be seen as the first attempt at creating an academy of sciences in the Baltic region. Certainly the year 1815 cannot be seen as the beginning of today’s Latvian Academy of Sciences, yet it marks the beginning of the concept of such an Academy.

The next steps leading to creation of the Latvian Academy of Sciences relate to founding of the Science Commission of the Rīga Latvian Society in 1869 – the creation by Latvians by themselves of a “Folk Academy of Science”, followed by creation in 1932 of Academia Scientiarum Latviensis SRL, followed by an intention declared in 1936 by Prime Minister Kārlis Ulmanis, to establish an Academy of Sciences of Latvia, the first element of which was the History Institute of Latvia, founded in 1936.

The real Academy of Sciences of Latvia was established after the end of the Second World War, in 1945–1946, under the conditions of Soviet occupation. A number of distinguished Latvian scholars and scientists were among those who gathered on 14 February 1946 for the first annual general meeting, namely linguist Jānis Endzelīns, forestry specialist Arvīds Kalniņš, micro-biologist Augusts Kirhenšteins, agriculture specialist Paulis Lejiņš, agro-chemist Jānis Peive, medical scientist Pauls Stradiņš and others. A new generation of Latvian scientists grew up in the post-war years and new directions of scientific investigation were developed – magneto hydrodynamics and solid-state physics, astronomy, mechanics of polymers, wood chemistry, development of new biologically active substances (pharmaceuticals), molecular biology, virology, elaboration of material technologies for space applications. The 1990s marked the collapse of the Soviet Union and re-gaining of the independence of the Republic of Latvia, and in 1992 the Latvian Academy of Sciences was transformed into a European-style academy that unites eminent scientists and scholars, elected members, that is supported by the state, with the aim of furthering the advancement of science in Latvia, discussion of urgent problems and is engaged internationally.

Terminology Commission of the Latvian Academy of Sciences deals with development, examination, and approval of terms. Although the terminology creation of national importance was started in Latvia already in 1919 when the Terminology Commission for the Ministry of Education (which operated until 1921) was established, the current commission was born simultaneously with the Latvian Academy of Sciences, when it gathered for its first meeting on 2 September 1946. Since then the commission has held more than thousand meetings, organised working groups, prepared many terminological resources (dictionaries and bulletins), and its subcommissions have arranged several thousands of their own meetings.

Symbols

Symbols (0)

The symbols of the Latvian Academy of Sciences (LAS) (colours, Coat of Arms, flag) are determined by a special regulation (see, Jānis Stradiņš. Latvijas Zinātņu akadēmijas simbolika. Latvijas Zinātņu akadēmijas gadagrāmata. 1992/93. – R, Zinātne Publishing, pp. 25-27 (pdf)). 

LAS colours are white, azure, and gold. The Academy’s seal contains the Small Coat of Arms of Latvia and includes the inscription “Latvian Academy of Sciences – Academia Scientiarum Latviensis”.

The Academy’s flag was consecrated during the LAS General Meeting on 11 February 1993. The colors used for the flag are white, azure and gold, the inscription “Latvian Academy of Sciences”, the Coat of Arms of Latvia and the years 1815, 1869, 1932, 1936, 1946 and 1992, that mark significant events in the history of the Academy, are embroidered on one side of the flag. On the other side, against the backdrop of azure, white and gold bands, the flag contains the Coat of Arms of the Academy.

The visual attributes of the Coat of Arms of the Academy were approved on 19 December 2002 by the State Heraldry Commission, established by the President of Latvia.

CHARTER OF THE LATVIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 

(Adopted at the General Meeting of the Latvian Academy of Sciences on 22 November 1996,
ratified by the Saeima of the Republic of Latvia (Parliament) on 23 January 1997) 

GENERAL

The Latvian Academy of Sciences is a successor of several scientific associations which previously existed in Latvia. Its predecessors are the Kurzeme Society for Literature and Art, founded in 1815 in Jelgava and the Commission of Science, founded within the Rīga Latvian Society in 1869, which in 1932 was reorganised into the Science Committee with the status of a private academy of sciences. Since 1919, the government of the Republic of Latvia had repeatedly considered the foundation of an official Latvian Academy of Sciences. In 1927, the idea was supported by Rainis, who was then Minister of Education. In 1935, the intention to create the Latvian Academy of Sciences was expressed in public by the Prime Minister Kārlis Ulmanis, and on 14 January 1936, by the Cabinet's Act, the Institute of History of Latvia was founded as the first constituent part of this Academy.

In Latvia, the Academy of Sciences started its work on 14 February 1946, when academy members gathered for their first General Meeting. Scientists from the University of Latvia and the Latvian Academy of Agriculture formed the core of the Academy of Sciences. [..]
