In early November, Vilnius University (VU) and SEB Bank formalized a strategic partnership to foster a closer connection between higher education and the business sector, emphasizing innovation and the development of practical skills among students. This collaboration, initiated by the Vilnius University Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (VU EVAF), reflects the faculty’s ongoing commitment to finding innovative opportunities to partner with industry.

Heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Laura Galdikienė, who successfully defended her dissertation, "Trust and Social Norms in Collective Action Problems: Essays in Behavioral Economics," on October 25th to earn her PhD in Economics.

It’s no secret that when choosing a career or study path, we often rely on the personal experiences and recommendations of friends and acquaintances. It’s especially encouraging to see that many international students who choose to study at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (VU EVAF) often mention in their applications that they were inspired to apply by friends already studying here. "For years, we’ve been hearing that our current and former students are the best ambassadors for our faculty. We highly value their input, as we understand that personal recommendations and genuine experiences play a crucial role when a young person is deciding to study abroad in a new country, with a new culture, and in an unfamiliar city. That's why we want to express our gratitude for this often unseen contribution and their active role in promoting VU EVAF and studies in Lithuania,” says VU EVAF Dean Aida Mačerinskienė.

Yesterday, we proudly awarded Admission Scholarships to the top 9 newly admitted international students who joined the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration this academic year. These outstanding students were recognized for their exceptional academic achievements and the dedication they demonstrated during the motivational interviews as part of the admission process. 🌟🎓
