About the Faculty

The Fire Protection and Rescue Department (FPRD) informs that on April 30 (Thursday), a check of the population information and warning system will be carried out in Lithuania. Sirens will be turned on throughout the country at 11:52 a.m., they will sound for 3 minutes – until 11:55 a.m. At the same time, warning messages will be sent to residents on their mobile phones and in the LT72 mobile application. It is emphasized that this is a scheduled check – the siren signal does not mean a real threat. What is important for residents to know When sirens are heard or a warning message is received, residents should turn on Lithuanian radio or television and familiarize themselves with the information being announced – this is what should be done in a real situation. Warning messages are sent to all users on mobile phones, but only those devices with the warning function activated will receive them. Residents are recommended to check their phone settings in advance and enable the reception of warning messages. Instructions are published on the website lt72.lt and in the mobile application LT72. After the inspection, residents are invited to share their experience - if you did not receive a notification, it is important to note this in the questionnaire on the website lt72.lt. Residents' feedback allows us to accurately identify problem areas and promptly resolve them.

It emphasizes that curiosity, experimentation, and even mistakes are an integral part of innovation. The digital version of the magazine can be found here.

From the 23rd till the 27th of March, the Department of Logistics and Transport Management at the Faculty of Transport Engineering organized an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) for international students titled “Reverse Logistics and Environmental Protection.” A total of 37 students from six countries—Austria, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Lithuania—participated in the programme. Working and engaging in discussions within an international community provided a unique opportunity for all participants to deepen their knowledge in the fields of reverse logistics and environmental protection. Throughout the week, participants participated in a variety of academic and practical activities both at the university and beyond. Students attended lectures on the concept of reverse logistics, its advantages and challenges, and explored its application in the aviation sector. The lectures included: “The Concept of Reverse Logistics” (Prof. Dr. Darius Bazaras), “Advantages and Challenges of Reverse Logistics” (Prof. Dr. Nijolė Batarlienė), “Reverse Logistics in the Aviation Industry” (Marius Gelžinis). In addition, various practical sessions were held in the Transport Engineering and Logistics Laboratory, where students worked on logistics process organization tasks and strengthened their teamwork skills. The programme was further enriched by activities outside the university. Participants explored the principles of the circular economy and took part in creative workshops where products were made from recycled materials. Additionally, students tested their skills in a practical crisis management logistics activity. The practical sessions included: “How Circular Economy Principles Work” – COMMUNE DIY, Practical activity “Education and Production of Items from Recycled Skateboards” – COMMUNE DIY, Practical activity “Crisis Management in Logistics” – Danger Park. An important part of the programme was student project work focused on reverse logistics and environmental protection in the context of various crises (geopolitical, economic, technological, etc.). The programme concluded with student project presentations, which were evaluated by experts from the Department of Logistics and Transport Management. The evaluation committee consisted of Prof. Dr. Darius Bazaras, Prof. Dr. Aldona Jarašūnienė, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kristina Čižiūnienė. “We are pleased with the active participation and engagement of all attendees during this intensive week full of knowledge, collaboration, and cultural exchange. We believe this experience contributed to strengthening students’ competencies and fostering a more sustainable future for logistics and transport. It is also encouraging that awarding digital badges to all project participants, recognizing their achievements and acquired competencies, is becoming a valued tradition,” said the Dean of the Faculty Prof. Dr. Olegas Prentkovskis. We would like to thank for the event organizer, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kristina Čižiūnienė!
