EducationYale University’s Baltic Studies Program is pleased to call for applications for the Joseph P. Kazickas Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Yale for 2018-2019. In the light of the significant state restoration anniversary of Lithuania VGTU Multimedia and Computer Design students have chosen the legend of the founding of Vilnius for their virtual reality workshop at VGTU “LinkMenų fabrikas“. The center of the legend was an iconic dream, in which Gediminas saw an iron wolf in the current place of Vilnius. The creativity and innovation centre “LinkMenų Fabrikas” at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) and its partners created the world’s smallest nativity scene. It has just been submitted for review to a panel of judges from the Guinness World Records. The scene is an exact replica of the nativity scene at the Cathedral square in Vilnius. It has been reduced 10 000 times to reach the size of one-third of a millimetre.
