“Is it possible to describe my studies in Sweden via Erasmus+ programme in one short message? Definitely not! How to fit all the UNREAL and SUPER FANTASTIC months into one page?! Yet, I will try my very best to fulfill this assignment” , says Girvydas Kulakauskas a third year student of Audiovisual Translation, who has just come back from a semester long visit to Umea University (Sweden).

The very end of the year 2015 at the Faculty was marked by a traditional conference for PhD and Master students. The organizers of this international Prof. Dr. Vladas Gronskas Young Researchers scientific conference “Development in Economics: Theory and Practice” (12 December, 2015) aimed at contributing to a reliable, secure, effective and sustainable development of economy, economics and business, thus they created a medium for young scholars to discuss, search for best solutions and share their experiences. Not only did they have the opportunity to present reports but also to discuss the latest scientific trends, achievements and shortages as well as to get in contact with colleagues working in the same field.

A 4th year student of Cultural Management, Laimutė Triukaitė, has spent her Autumn semester as an intern in “The Italian-Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce” in the city of Rome, Italy. The soon-to-be specialist of cultural management admits that leaving Lithuania for Erasmus+ internship meant for her major changes in the way she regards her life and professional career. “Now I realize that this choice I made last year was one of the best in my life. Being in Rome I had the exceptional opportunity to see how Italy takes care of its cultural system. Moreover, during my preparatory term, I had the opportunity to witness how various business events, meetings, conferences and luxurious international events are organized. Finally, it was so interesting to find out the exceptional aspects of the Italian work culture”, explains Laimutė.

We kindly invite language and media students and scientists to participate in the conference

I’m a third year cultural management student. Every year I find more and more opportunities to put myself to the test, get to know foreign cultures and pick up new ideas. This year I went to Romania, Craiova for a week taking part in Erasmus+ programme „Delegate Ownership on Social Responsibility“. I can honestly say  it was easily the best and the most memorable training. I have taken part in many various seminars both in Lithuania and abroad, however, none of them created such a lasting value.
