In addition to raising families and working, they are also developing innovation and contributing to the technological progress in the country. Juozas Vidas Gražulevičius, Professor at Kaunas University of Technology, Faculty of Chemical Technology, who leads a multicultural research group, says that different cultures bring different approaches to work situations, professional skills and ways of solving problems. Lithuanian scientists developed a device that measures the impact of drought on plants2024-10-21, 18:25Drought is becoming a more serious challenge every year, affecting up to 55 million people worldwide and posing a major threat to animals and plants. Drought stress leads to biochemical and physiological changes in plants, reducing nutrient levels and damaging the ecosystem, thus affecting human health and creating livelihood vulnerability. To evaluate the response of plants to drought, scientists at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania have developed a special device. Vilnius University (VU) offers various opportunities for students and educators to take part in international projects that contribute to fostering academic ties and internationalisation. One such example is the successful experience of medical student Rokas Jagminas, whose research in the field of cardiology and otorhinolaryngology was presented at international congresses in Greece and the Netherlands. His participation in these scientific events was financed by the VU funds that aim to promote internationalisation. VU Experts Help Understand: Nobel Prize in Economics – For Unveiling the Importance of Societal Institutions2024-10-17, 18:28The Nobel Prize in Economics crowned the entire week of awards.

This is a landmark achievement for the Lithuanian scientific community and an important step in enhancing the country’s engagement in international research projects. Many people imagine that the only time they need a physiotherapist is when they have a physical injury or after surgery. This is, of course, a very important part of physiotherapy, but it is by no means the only part. Physiotherapy can help with the problems that many people don’t think much about, from minor back pain to diseases such as multiple sclerosis, pneumonia or even cancer. Physiotherapy is a term derived from the Greek kinesis, which means movement, and therapeia, meaning treatment.
