Research at the Latvian Academy of Culture is organised and coordinated by the Institute of Arts and Cultural Studies of the Latvian Academy of Culture (LAC), which unites researchers from a wide range of disciplines.
The LAC research goals are embedded in the LAC vision to develop excellence as an interdisciplinary higher education institution and research centre in culture and arts, and a resource centre for cultural and creative industries. The LAC research impact stems from the generation of new knowledge on internationally relevant scientific themes, and dissemination of that knowledge. The core impacts of LAC research are in the specialisation areas of cultural heritage (intangible and tangible), cultural participation, theatre, dance and cinema, and cultural and creative sector research.
