On September 7 the inaugural event of the Jeronimas Stroinovskis Lectures took place in Vilnius University, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. The Jeronimas Stroinovskis Lectures was established by the Bank of Lithuania in memory of Jeronimas Stroinovskis, rector of Vilnius University, from 1799 to 1806. He is the pioneer of political economy, a science that was then just emerging in the world. The establishment of these lectures institutionalized the practice of inviting a distinguished economist, generally from outside Lithuania, to give guest lectures during the school year. The Stroinovskis Lectures have twin aims: first, to present and elucidate research developments in Economics to a broad audience; while simultaneously educating and inspiring students to study Economics in all its facets.
