From March 19-21, a delegation from VILNIUS TECH visited TalTech University in Tallinn, Estonia, to participate in a partner meeting for the project "Building Capacity of Future Engineers for Secure, Energy-efficient Autonomous System"
 

The project involves not only VILNIUS TECH, but also KTU, RTU, and TalTech universities (“A Competency Network Oriented Towards the Future, Aimed at Developing Engineering Education Focused on Green Industry,” ENERGYCOM 2024, NPHE-2024/10402). Its mission is to introduce sustainability insights into study programs and share experiences, knowledge, and best practices in technology-oriented educational development, as well as advancements in electrical and electronic engineering, informatics, automation, and cybersecurity.
 

The participants of the meetings included: Associate Prof. Dr. Vytautas Abromavičius, Prof. Dr. Algirdas Baškys, Prof. Dr. Andrius Katkevičius, Dr. Šarūnas Mikučionis, Prof. Dr. Dalius Matuzevičius, Prof. Dr. Darius Plonis, Dr. Diana Belova-Plonienė, Associate Prof. Dr. Raimondas Pomarnacki, lecturers Valentinas Breivė, Henrikas Giedra, and Gabriela Vdoviak, as well as the Director of Public Communication, Dovilė Juršytė, who also showed interest in mechatronics, adaptronics, and information and communication technologies that align with the needs of the green industry.
 

VILNIUS TECH researchers met with Associate Prof. Anton Rassõlkin from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics, School of Engineering, at TalTech University to discuss the project's progress and challenges.
 

The meetings in Tallinn also covered further collaboration opportunities in academic and research areas, student exchange possibilities for Bachelor's and Master's students, and visits to high-voltage, electromagnetic compatibility, lighting technology, industrial robotics, and machine vision laboratories. The researchers were introduced to the study programs and scientific research carried out by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics, and during the university tour, they explored the campus infrastructure.
 

At the seminar, VILNIUS TECH representatives presented a lecture titled “Fostering the Education of Future Engineers Who Seek the Development of Secure, Energy-Efficient Autonomous Systems.”
