Topics for Scientific Research Project
Research Projects may be carried out at the Faculty of Physics, at another VU faculty, or at a research institution.
Institutes of the Faculty of Physics where Research Projects may be conducted:
-
Institute of Chemical Physics
-
Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnology
-
Laser Research Center
-
Institute of Applied Electrodynamics and Telecommunications
-
Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy
At the beginning of each semester, students must choose a Research Project topic from the list of proposed topics provided on the Faculty website (see below) or propose their own topic. The topic must be agreed upon with the supervisor. After the topic is approved, the student must submit a free-form request in the is.vu system and indicate the title of the topic in Lithuanian and English, the supervisor, and the institute where the project will be defended. The request must also include the sentence: “I confirm that the topic has been approved by the supervisor.”
The request must be submitted by 15 February (spring semester) and 20 September (autumn semester). Students who do not submit the request on time will not be allowed to defend their projects.
Topics proposed for Scientific Research Projects (MTP) in the spring semester of the 2025–2026 academic year:

If a student wishes to carry out a Research Project outside the Faculty of Physics, they must first coordinate with a potential supervisor regarding the possibility of conducting the project. Afterwards, the topic and the hosting institution must be approved by the chair of the study programme committee by completing a registration form. Once approval from the SPK chair is obtained, the student must submit a free-form request in the is.vu system, indicating the topic title in Lithuanian and English, the supervisor, and the institute where the project will be defended. The request must also include the sentence: “I confirm that the topic has been approved by the supervisor.” The completed registration form signed by the SPK chair must be attached to the request.
The request must be submitted by 15 February (spring semester) and 20 September (autumn semester). Students who do not submit the request on time will not be allowed to defend their projects.
When carrying out a Research Project outside Vilnius University, a tripartite agreement must be signed. The three-party agreement form can be found here.
If the student is employed at a company, a tripartite agreement is not required.
