On April 4, the Lithuanian Students' Judo Championship was held in Kaunas, where approximately 90 athletes from across the country participated. The participants competed not only for the top places but also to test their physical and mental limits.

In the weight category up to 63 kilogrammes, a second-year student of the Bachelor’s study programme Economics and Management, Gertrūda Leonavičiūtė, won third place. This victory is impressive because the athlete returned to competition after an injury, and her decision to participate was quite spontaneous.

“I am glad I decided to participate—this victory means a lot to me,” says the student.

How is generative artificial intelligence changing cybersecurity practice? Where does its responsible use begin in organisations, education and digital working environments? And can cyber resilience and sustainable AI development become not parallel conversations, but a shared direction?

These questions will be explored during the educational seminar “Generate-SustAIn-StrOng”, organised by GAISO, a project of Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty, and the Centre of Excellence of AI for Sustainable Living and Working “SustAInLivWork”, represented by researchers of the Faculty of Informatics at Vytautas Magnus University.

This is a synergy event bringing together two highly relevant areas of research and practical application: cybersecurity and the sustainable, responsible development of AI.

During the seminar, speakers will discuss the role of generative AI in cybersecurity practice, new forms of digital communication and cyber threats, AI innovations for sustainable living and working, as well as personal data protection and cyber resilience challenges in the era of post-quantum computing.

The event will conclude with a panel discussion, “Cyber Resilience and Sustainable AI Development: Is Synergy Between GAISO and SustAInLivWork Possible?”, focusing on interdisciplinary cooperation, joint initiatives and the competences needed to build a safer, more responsible and more sustainable digital future.

Date and venue: 20 May 2026, Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty, Muitinės str. 8, Kaunas.

We invite you to join the event and register here  (The seminar will be held in Lithuanian)

On 25 March, the Kaunas Faculty of Vilnius University (VU) community gathered for the Ambassador Day, organised by the Public Relations Group. During the event, communication specialist Kamilė Bakevičiūtė presented the activities of the Ambassador programme, spoke about students’ contributions to enhancing the Faculty’s image, and discussed expectations for the upcoming semester.

During the celebration, Ambassador scholarships were awarded to six students who actively contributed to increasing Faculty visibility and to implementing publicity initiatives. A total of €2000 was allocated for the scholarships. The funding comes from the VU Kaunas Faculty’s endowment sub-fund investment returns. This sub-fund was established in 2023 by the ‘Acme Group’. The funds allocated for this semester were intended for students who significantly strengthened the Faculty’s visibility in Kaunas city and Lithuania through various public initiatives, contributions to promoting study programmes, and community-building activities.
