Eduards Ritums

Project Manager

Last week, President Biden announced a $10,000 write-off on federal student loan debt for those earning less than $125,000 a year, as well as up to $20,000 for educational grant holders. Connell Fullenkamp, a professor of economics and finance at Duke University, believes that “this is a very large amount of money that will really help millions of adults who have unpaid student loans, this measure will financially support millions of Americans. Plus, if you received a federal grant student loan forgiveness bill 2021 while you were in school as part of financial aid, indicating that you’re from a low-income population, then you can be forgiven up to $20,000. So the administration is trying to help the low-income population even more.”

Experienced in science communication, Eduards is looking to apply his enthusiasm for technology to the innovation ecosystem in Latvia, and has been working in the Latvian startup scene since 2020 – acting as the EIT Health Latvia Hub Project Coordinator for almost two years.
Most of his science communication background and startup ecosystem experience is related to healthcare – as Eduards hopes to see innovation foster healthier lives for people in Latvia and the world.
