AI2SEP project meeting and study visit took place in Vilnius from May 6th to 8th, 2025. Hosted by the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at Vilnius University, the three-day event brought together academic and industry partners for a series of engaging discussions, knowledge sharing, and cultural activities.
Swapping sunny, carefree Italy for rainy and much calmer Lithuania? It happens. Italians working and studying at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (MIF) at Vilnius University share their stories, the advantages of life in Lithuania, and why they enjoy living here.
From 16 to 20 June, Vilnius University (VU) will host its third annual International Multidisciplinary Summer School for Doctoral Students.
Bioinformatics is a modern and dynamic field that integrates biology, informatics, and mathematics. It not only opens opportunities to work with large biological data but also provides tools to develop new drugs, vaccines, and contribute to the global progress of biotechnology. In Lithuania, bioinformatics studies are highly valued, as they not only prepare students to work in various industries but also open doors to scientific careers. From next academic year, this study programme will be offered in English, and first-year students will have the option to study some subjects in Lithuanian.
When Barbora Sharrock first stepped off the plane in Lithuania in March 2023, it wasn‘t her first time in the country – but it was the first time she came not as a visitor but as a returning citizen. Born in Lithuania but raised in New Zealand, she had long carried her Lithuanian identity across continents despite the distance and language barriers. Now a student in the International Cybersecurity and Cyber Intelligence Master’s programme at Vilnius University, Barbora sees her future in Lithuania.
The first day featured a visit from our partner Oracle, who delivered a series of engaging and insightful presentations centered on artificial intelligence models. These sessions offered valuable perspectives on the latest advancements in AI, showcasing real-world applications, cutting-edge solutions, and emerging trends. The day provided an excellent opportunity for knowledge exchange and deeper collaboration with one of our key industry partners.
"Quantum technologies are like the key to a new world, where we can do things that seemed impossible before," says Prof. Dr. Remigijus Paulavičius, Vice Dean of Science at Vilnius universiy, faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (VU MIF). These technologies have the potential to be used to diagnose diseases, develop medicines and more sustainable energy, or control pollution, transforming our lives in a way that the internet and smartphones once did.
The Spring Semester 2024/2025 examination timetable is now available here.
