The Rector of VILNIUS TECH speech on the occasion of 1 September

September 1, 2023

Dear VILNIUS TECH community, 

I congratulate you on the beginning of the New Academic Year! This season, a large group of new faces, almost 3,000 students, joined the VILNIUS TECH community. This proves how unique and strategically important VILNIUS TECH studies are for Lithuania and in the global point of view. 

I congratulate all the creators on a new beginning. The start of science, experimentations, and breath-catching discoveries. I want to wish you one thing – be curious and courageous, and keep learning every day, as these are qualities that must be nurtured beyond the university environment too. VILNIUS TECH provides you with opportunities to improve not only during your, but also in the spaces of innovation: at the "LinkMenų fabrikas," in Saulėtekis Valley, conducting research in the new United Science Laboratories of the Faculties of Mechanics, Electronics, and Transport Engineering, as well as interacting with colleagues. You have an extraordinary opportunity – so make the most of it. 

Officially starting the new academic year at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University – I invite you not to forget that we will meet on Monday evening at VILNIUS TECH's "LinkMenų fabrikas." The university presents you with a unique and unforgettable celebration – the already traditional VILNIUS TECH CREATORS' FEST! 

Wishing you a joyful celebration and productive studies at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University! 

Sharing moments from celebration.

GRAVITY”, developed within the framework of international Erasmus+ project “YOUTH 360”. Students will be able to earn digital badges by participating in career seminars led by professionals, the GRAVITY Career Day, and other career preparation activities.
