EducationProfessor M. Kaku in a Discussion in Vilnius University: Physics is Approaching a Crisis2022-09-10, 18:46On 7 September, students and researchers from Vilnius University (VU) had the opportunity to meet Michio Kaku, a modern physics icon, futurist and science populariser, bestselling author, co-founder of String theory, and a professor of theoretical physics in the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Centre. Professor Kaku shared facts about his academic career, touched on topics such as climate change, artificial intelligence, alternative physics, string theory, and loop quantum gravity, and answered questions from students. VILNIUS TECH – member of the European Network of Innovative Higher Education Institutions2022-09-09, 17:38The European Commission's new Innovation Agenda for Europe sets out the goal of becoming a world leader in deep-tech and has set up the European Network of Innovative Higher Education Institutions (ENIHEI) to achieve this goal. Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) was selected to take part in this network. Lithuanian researchers created new materials that might increase the stability of perovskite solar cells2022-09-08, 18:28A group of chemists from Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania, the authors of numerous breakthrough innovations in the solar energy field, proposed yet another solution to increase the stability and performance of perovskite solar elements. They synthesised a new class of carbazole-based cross-linkable materials, which are resistant to various environmental effects, including strong solvents used in the production of solar cells. Researcher Seeks to Understand How Misinterpreting Statistics and Graphs Affects People’s Behavior2022-09-07, 18:55While making decisions, people often say it happened “naturally”; however, there are complex mechanisms in our brains at the time. The human brain works like a computer processor that receives, processes, stores, modifies, and transmits information but sometimes freezes. Dr. Gerda Ana Melnik-Leroy, a researcher at the prestigious École Normale in Paris and a researcher at the Data Science and Technology Institute (DSTI) of the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (MIF) at Vilnius University (VU), believes that serious and comprehensive research requires analyzing a problem or object of study from the perspectives of different sciences. Lithuanians developed a takeaway food package that does not contain a single gram of plastic2022-09-06, 18:18Takeaway food became an integral part of our lives. However, despite the convenience of such a service, frequent users have to face its drawbacks: the contents of the food can accidentally leak, the meal cools down, and the package does not always suit the size of the portion. Kaunas University of Technology researchers together with business and citizens created a takeaway food box, which solves all these issues and is entirely plastic-free. This year, the Faculty of Medicine at Vilnius University (VU) admitted 214 resident doctors to study in 53 medical and 6 dental residency programmes. VU Invites to Participate in Intro Days and Events at #Studentauk 2022. The innovation developed by Lithuanian scientists will allow a more efficient screening of voice pathologies2022-08-17, 18:41In cases of advanced laryngeal cancer, a complex surgery called laryngectomy is performed, when the organ vital for a person’s ability to speak is removed. Striving to improve the patient’s quality of life after laryngectomy, a team of software engineers from KTU, led by researcher Rytis Maskeliūnas, and a team of medics from LSMU, led by prof. Virgilijus Ulozas, conducted a study, during which they searched for pathologies in patients’ voices using artificial intelligence (AI). As the admissions to Vilnius University have begun and the start of the academic year is approaching, Vilnius University Students' Representation (VU SR) invites the members of the VU community to help the Ukrainian students fleeing from the unprecedented war that violates all international rights and who are temporarily building their future at Vilnius University by providing them with free accommodation - a free room, a part of the house, a free apartment, a place suitable for living in the garden or other premises. Have you been accepted to the study programme of your dreams and cannot wait for your KTU adventure to start? Congratulations! For your smooth transition to the new country, university and culture, take care of the essentials. Better be safe than sorry as the saying goes. |
