Riga Technical University (RTU) is the oldest technical university in the Baltic states, founded in 1862. RTU is active in a wide range of academic, research, and development fields, focusing on Engineering, IT & Computer Science, Architecture & Urban Planning, Economics & Business, Telecommunications & Electronics, as well as Energy & Environment.

Additionally, in March 2024, Liepaja University, a BUP participating university, officially merged with Riga Technical University, becoming RTU Liepaja.
