This prominent location on the main avenue of the capital places it very close to notable landmarks, including the Cathedral Square and the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania.
Short history of Lithuanian Academy of Sciences.
The idea of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences was proposed as early as the late 18th century when Martynas Počobutas, along with other staff members of Vilnius University, prepared a program for its establishment. However, their initiative was not realized. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, this idea was nurtured by the founders of the Lithuanian Scientific Society: Jonas Basanavičius, Jonas Šliūpas, and others. The implementation of projects began in 1939 with the establishment of the Institute of Lithuanian Studies in Kaunas.
The Academy, as a center for scientific research, was founded on January 16, 1941, in Vilnius. It consisted of the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences departments. Within the Humanities department, the Institutes of the Lithuanian Language, Lithuanian Literature, Lithuanian History, and Ethnology were established.
During the years of Soviet occupation, the Academy was known as the Lithuanian SSR Academy of Sciences. In the autumn of 1989, it announced its separation from the Soviet Academy of Sciences, and in March 1990, it renounced its institutional status, declaring itself an independent scientific organization free from state and political institutions. At that time, 17 research institutes were operating within the Academy.
On February 12, 1991, the "Law on Science and Studies of the Republic of Lithuania" was adopted, officially abolishing the Academy's institutional characteristics and declaring it an autonomous academy. The scientific institutions that were part of it became independent scientific entities. In 1993, the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania approved a new statute for the Academy.
