EducationResearchers are often approached by medical professionals or people in business to solve challenges that they cannot solve on their own. Such requests are also received by the Bioanalysis Department of the Biochemistry Institute of the Life Sciences Center of Vilnius University (VU), headed by Dr. Marius Dagys. According to the Head of the Department, biosensors developed by the team will soon appear in intensive care units, which will help patients in the hospital maintain vital functions. And this is just one example. VILNIUS TECH alumni contribute to the creation of the world's first AI-generated electronic journal2024-01-01, 16:39The first electronic journal was created using AI tools such as ‘ChatGPT’ and ‘Midjourney’ and covered AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) related topics. The special publication was developed by the "Construction and Architecture" team, which included Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) alumni Mintare Paleviciute, Simonas Barsteiga, and Zygimantas Pagalys, an engineer at the Center for Digital and Information Modeling Technologies. The Conference on the Improvement of Competencies and Qualifications of Vilnius University Doctors2023-12-28, 16:20This year’s December 15th saw the occurrence of the conference on the competencies and qualifications improvement project for Vilnius University (VU) doctors (Project No. 09.4.2-ESFA-V-715-06-0001) – “Changes in Residency Training Systems: Challenges and Opportunities of Competency Integration”. The conference mainly addressed the integration of stepwise competency concepts (Entrustable Professional Activities, EPA) into residency training programmes. Prof. Virginijus Šikšnys – on Recent Accomplishments of CRISPR-Cas9 Technology and the Latest Research2023-12-18, 18:22Although the first article about gene editing scissors CRISPR-Cas9 was published by Prof. Virginijus Šikšnys and his team just 11 years ago, the benefits of this technology for society can already be felt. “It was recently announced that the UK has registered the first CRISPR-Cas9 based therapy for the treatment of inherited diseases,” the researcher says. We are talking with a researcher about the CRISPR-Cas9 technology and its discovery path. Leipzig University will open this series of sessions devoted to presenting best practices from Arqus partners working in the entrepreneurship and business field. On November 25-30, astrophysicists Juan Carlos Suárez Yanes (group leader), Antonio García Hernández, Sebastià Barceló Forteza and Giovanni Mirouh from the Group of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis at the University of Granada visited Lithuania. The University of Granada (Universidad de Granada) is one of the ten ARQUS European University Alliance members, along with Vilnius University. Most of us tend to associate CERN (in French Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) with cutting-edge research, underground particle accelerators, and an ever more detailed knowledge of the world around us. At the same time, new smart technologies and engineering solutions are being developed at CERN in order to carry out such highly sophisticated experiments of fundamental physics. Ramūnas Aleksiejūnas, Professor at the Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnology of the Faculty of Physics of Vilnius University and Executive Director of the CERN-LT Consortium, outlines the reasons behind the establishment of CERN, the Lithuanians involved in its activities, and the applicability of the technologies developed there. An increase in the morbidity rates for cold, flu and other respiratory infections is usually observed during autumn and winter. Some of these can be prevented by using vaccines. However, other infections require symptomatic treatment with medication. We talked to infectious diseases specialist, Professor Ligita Jančorienė from the Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos and the Faculty of Medicine at Vilnius University about all things relevant during the cold season – how to distinguish between respiratory diseases and how to know when antibiotics are actually needed or recommended. Mykolas Romeris University was highly ranked in the QS World University Sustainability Rankings2023-12-07, 18:16The QS World University Rankings: Sustainability, an international university ranking agency, has published the rankings of higher education institutions globally, where Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) was evaluated for the first time. This year, 1397 universities around the world including 493 European universities have been ranked with regard to their contribution to Environmental impact (environmental sustainability, environmental research, environmental education), Social impact (knowledge exchange, impact of education, health & well-being, equality, employment and outcomes) and Governance. MRU was awarded the 268th position in Europe and the 637th position globally. Areas such as environmental sustainability, environmental research, impact of education, health and well-being, equality and university governance, were the highest rated.

We have investigated the dynamics within tertiary education, whether we will have institutions, and whether universities will look the same as they ever have. We want to explore this idea further and examine the brick-and-mortar buildings used to house intellect, knowledge, and cerebral development for millennia. |
