On November 7 at 14:00, a public scientific seminar entitled "From Light to Structural Architectures: Additive Manufacturing of Inorganic Materials at the Micro–Nano Scale" will be held in Auditorium 306 of the Laser Research Center at the VU Faculty of Physics.

The seminar will be led by Dr Arturo Susarrey-Arce from the University of Twente in the Netherlands. The seminar will be held in English.

On October 28–29, the Faculty of Physics at Vilnius University had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Jian-Jang Huang, Distinguished Professor and Associate Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at National Taiwan University (NTU). During his visit, Professor Huang presented a broad overview of academic and industry collaboration in Taiwan. He also met with vice-deans and other members of the academic community, shared his experience in study programme development, and discussed opportunities for future cooperation.

Vilnius University (VU) invites international students to join the VU Student Ambassador Programme. As an ambassador, you will share your experience and advice with other international students while developing valuable professional skills and building new connections. The initiative provides an excellent opportunity to find your place in the vibrant international VU community and the University as a whole.

Modern physics is an incredibly complex endeavour, where conducting research and calculations is impossible without top-tier equipment. One such device, the supercomputer at Vilnius University (VU), is among the most powerful scientific instruments in Lithuania, enabling researchers in physics, chemistry, and other fields to solve problems that would be impossible to crack without it. Associate Professor Mindaugas Mačernis, the head of the “HPC Saulėtekis” centre, quantum chemistry researcher, and populariser of quantum biology, says that supercomputers are changing not only the scientific process itself but also the very understanding of what modern physicists must be capable of.

On November 4 at 15:00, in A101 aud. (National Center for Physical and Technological Sciences, Saulėtekio ave. 3), Begoña Vila, Doctor of Astrophysics and NASA Instrument Systems Engineer, will give a public lecture "Two Wonderful Space Telescopes to Explore the Universe: James Webb and Nancy Grace Roman".

More than 90 CERN colleagues from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, along with the invited guests, gathered at Kaunas University of Technology for the CERN Baltic Conference.

Students at Vilnius University (VU) are invited to contribute to an important international study conducted by researchers at the Institute of Sociology of the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences. The third stage of the international EUROSTUDENT-9 project is currently underway, aiming to collect data on the social, economic, and financial living conditions of students in Lithuania and across the European Higher Education Area.

The University of Padua welcomes participants to a webinar dedicated to the Arqus Alliance joint call for Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs). The session will present this opportunity, focusing on BIPs taking place during the second semester of the 2025/26 academic year, and will be followed by a Q&A session to address any questions.

On October 29 at 10:00 AM in A101 aud. (National Center for Physical and Technological Sciences, Saulėtekio ave. 3), Professor Jian-Jang Huang will give a public lecture "Nitride-based transistors – from lateral to vertical structure". He is a Distinguished Professor and Associate Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Graduate Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics (GIPO), Department of Electrical Engineering National Taiwan University.

Arqus announces the opening of applications for the first Arqus Open Science Award. Launched during the 2025 Arqus Annual Conference at Leipzig University, this award recognises early-career researchers who champion open science. It celebrates those who set an example for the entire Arqus scientific community by advancing accessibility, reusability, and reproducibility in research.

The Arqus Alliance announces the launch of its 3rd Arqus Alliance Ambassadors Programme. This initiative, led by the Arqus Student Agora, aims to create a network of student ambassadors who will promote the values and initiatives of the Arqus Alliance while engaging with students, staff, and local communities.

A groundbreaking study from Vilnius University’s (VU) Faculty of Physics explores a highly promising method for increasing light energy. Using organic semiconductor technologies, Dr Edvinas Radiunas from VU’s Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnology, along with colleagues L. Naimovičius, Dr P. Baronas, Dr K. Kazlauskas, and others, has demonstrated how invisible infrared light can be converted into visible light. This unique research, aimed at harnessing light conversion phenomena in organic molecules, was published for the first time in the prestigious journal “Advanced Optical Materials”.

The Institute of Pedagogy, University of Wrocław, and the Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Granada, joined by the Froebel Department of Primary and Early Childhood Education at Maynooth University, invite the Arqus community to participate in this one-day scientific seminar, which will take place online on 10 November 2025.
