Winners of the best VILNIUS TECH research articles contest

September 17, 2026

We are pleased to announce the results of the best VILNIUS TECH research articles contest.

Research articles (having VILNIUS TECH affiliation, publishing data, being not Online First or Online Ready, and not being published in conference material publications) published during 2025 in international journals ranked in Q1, Q2 quartiles in Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) database editions Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) or Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) (quartiles according to Journal Impact Factor values), or in Scopus database (quartiles according to CiteScore values) were evaluated in the contest.

 

In total, 78 articles met the contest criteria and were evaluated in 10 different contest research areas:

Civil Engineering 4
Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Physics 10
Energetics & Power Engineering 2
Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry 18
Informatics Engineering, Mathematics, Informatics 3
Management, Economics, Communication & Information 18
Materials Engineering 6
Mechanical Engineering, Measurement Engineering Field 4
Theory of Arts, Philosophy, Philology 7
Transport Engineering 6

 

The articles were evaluated by the Commission, led by the vice-rector for science and innovations – prof. dr. D. Navakauskas. During the contest every member of the Commission presented the papers submitted to the contest, the assessments of external experts were presented by the Commission’s secretarial member doc. dr. Vaidotas Vaišis, suggestions for article evaluations were proposed. The final decisions were made by the majority of Commission members votes in open voting.

 

The assessment of articles submitted to the contest within individual research areas:

World Standards Day: Standards Driving Quality and Progress
Each year on 14 October, we celebrate World Standards Day, highlighting the importance of standards in our daily lives and professional activities. Standardization is the process of establishing and applying rules, requirements, and specifications. Standardization may concern products, methods, processes, or technical requirements that are consistently used in science, technology, agriculture, and industry. Compliance with standards ensures the quality, safety, and reliability of products and services. The application of standards-based technologies in industry, energy, healthcare, and many other sectors contributes to social progress, more efficient service delivery, and the growth of a competitive economy. Since 2015, VILNIUS TECH has engaged in active collaboration with the Lithuanian Standards Department to enhance research and study processes. This partnership focuses on integrating the latest engineering and technological innovations, as well as the expertise of social partners. Such collaboration has facilitated the implementation of innovative educational practices, distance learning initiatives, and professional development systems. In accordance with existing agreements, VILNIUS TECH researchers and students have access to the texts of LST standards through the university library's electronic catalog. Currently, VILNIUS TECH researchers and students can access over 62,000 full-text LST and ISO standards via the Virtual Library. To search for standards, users should select the resource titled Lithuanian Standards Department (LST) Standards in the search window. To access the full-text documents, users are required to enter their institutional ID and password.

VILNIUS TECH employees invited to the tenth autumn run and walk
VILNIUS TECH employees are invited to the traditional autumn run-walk, co-organized by the university and the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC). This year’s event is special as it marks the tenth edition, so we invite you not only to spend an active afternoon but also to celebrate this wonderful milestone together. Participants will enjoy the scenic and well-loved route in the Kairėnai Botanical Garden. You can choose a distance of 3, 6, or 9 km; the majority of the route is paved. If running isn't your cup of tea, we invite you to choose the 3 km walking route! It is also perfect for Nordic walking (if you don’t have poles but would like to try them, the Sports and Art Center (SMC) will have a dozen pairs available on-site; just make sure to indicate during registration that you would like to reserve a pair). After an active afternoon, all participants will be treated to hot Lithuanian buckwheat porridge (with or without bacon bits) and tea. The tenth event is a great opportunity to get together and celebrate! To make the anniversary mood even more festive, we encourage you to come wearing birthday accessories or items featuring the number ten: a sticker, earrings, a hat, balloons, etc. Delicious and healthy prizes await those who dress up! Date and Time: October 16 (Friday), starting at 12:00 PM (changing rooms, bib distribution, and an optional Nordic walking training session open from 11:00 AM). Location: VU Botanical Garden (Kairėnų St. 43, Vilnius). Distances: 3, 6, and 9 km. Route map: Available here: https://www.maps.lt/short/3d958fbf Registration: Open until October 12. You can register here. To make the event as sustainable as possible, we will be using reusable participant bibs. Therefore, please return them to the organizers after the event. IMPORTANT! Personal responsibility is an essential part of the event. Each participant assumes responsibility for any incidents that may occur during the run/walk, including collisions with other participants, falls, etc., as well as any resulting injuries and/or health issues. When choosing footwear, please consider the weather conditions, as the route may be slippery; shoes with deeper tread or spikes (especially if icy) are recommended. By signing the registration sheet, each participant confirms that they:– Are aware of and agree to these terms;– Are sufficiently trained and healthy, and have no medical contraindications prohibiting them from completing their chosen distance in this run/walk;– Waive any claims against their employer regarding injuries that may arise from participating in this run/walk. Let’s get together, get moving, and celebrate the tenth autumn run! This event takes place three times a year: in autumn, winter, and spring. Event partners: Vilnius University Health and Sport Centre and the Sports Division of the VILNIUS TECH Sports and Art Center.
