Vilnius Business College has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Kremenchuk Humanitarian and Technological Academy in Ukraine, marking a new step in strengthening cooperation between Lithuanian and Ukrainian higher education institutions.

At a challenging time for Ukraine, building and maintaining connections between higher education institutions is an important way to support the continuity, development and international engagement of Ukrainian higher education.

The new partnership will create opportunities to exchange academic experience, knowledge and good practices, while opening new possibilities for students and staff to engage in international learning and collaboration.

A particular focus will be placed on virtual and online learning opportunities, including joint online activities, guest lectures, collaborative projects and COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) initiatives. These activities can provide students with meaningful international experiences and connections even when physical mobility is not possible.

The institutions will also explore opportunities for:
• student and staff mobility
• joint educational and research activities
• international projects and initiatives
• collaboration in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and innovation.

We look forward to turning this partnership into practical opportunities for learning, sharing ideas and developing new international initiatives together.

🇱🇹🇺🇦 Together, we are strengthening connections between the Lithuanian and Ukrainian academic communities.

Meet Deimantė Žebrauskaitė, the New Director of Vilnius Business College.

Deimantė Žebrauskaitė has taken on the role of Director of Vilnius Business College. She is a leader with more than 15 years of experience in management, organizational development, and change management across a range of sectors.

From 2007 to 2019, she led the Lithuanian Food Bank (“Maisto bankas”), building an effective system of collaboration between businesses, non-governmental organizations, and society. This helped the Food Bank become one of the largest and best-known charitable organizations in Lithuania.

Later, Deimantė Žebrauskaitė joined the management team at Lithuania Post, where she led the customer experience, communications, and marketing teams. She contributed to the organization’s transformation, the modernization of its services, and the strengthening of its brand.

In recent years, her professional work has been closely connected with education. As a member of the management teams at Queen Morta School and Vaikystės Sodas, she worked on organizational development, innovation, and strategic projects.

“It is important to me that an organization continuously grows while also helping the people within it grow. I am joining Vilnius Business College with great appreciation for everything that has already been accomplished and achieved. I am delighted to continue this work together with a bold and intellectually curious team. I believe that together we can preserve what is strong while confidently embracing change and new opportunities,” says Deimantė Žebrauskaitė.

As she begins her tenure at Vilnius Business College, the new Director will focus primarily on strengthening the College’s international profile, quality, and sustainable growth; increasing the number of students; expanding online studies; and enhancing lifelong learning opportunities.

“I will strive to ensure that Vilnius Business College strengthens its position in the higher education market and is recognized as a bold and intellectually driven institution, as well as a strong and professional part of the Synergetica educational group.”

The Research Council of Lithuania has confirmed funding for Vilnius Business College’s research project AURA – Auditable Rubric-Based Student Assessment in Higher Education using Vertical AI. The project will be implemented under the third call for proposals of the targeted program “Information Technologies for the Development of Science and the Knowledge Society.”

AURA represents a significant milestone in the scientific development of Vilnius Business College and an important achievement for the entire college sector. The funding from the Research Council of Lithuania under this call confirms that colleges can actively participate in high-level scientific research, develop innovative technological solutions, and contribute to the development of science and the knowledge society in Lithuania. It is particularly important that the field of artificial intelligence research and application is opening up more opportunities for the college sector, whose strengths lie in identifying practical problems, conducting applied research, and maintaining a direct connection to the learning process, organizations, and the needs of society.

The AURA project focuses on one of the most relevant contemporary areas of artificial intelligence research – the creation of reliable, explainable, and auditable artificial intelligence solutions. During the project, methods and technological solutions will be developed to enable artificial intelligence systems to assist in assessing student progress according to clear, auditable, and pedagogically sound evaluation criteria.

Gabija Skučaitė, director of the Vilnius Business College, emphasizes that artificial intelligence is one of the most important areas of technological and academic transformation today, but the general application of AI alone is no longer sufficient. The ability to create vertical artificial intelligence solutions tailored to specific fields, specific problems, and the real needs of institutions is becoming increasingly important. The AURA project is specifically focused on such a vertical application of AI—the processes of assessing the progress of higher education students, which require not only technological precision but also transparency, validity, and accountability.

Although the project is designed for higher education assessment processes, its results will have broader implications for research into reliable artificial intelligence, the development of human-AI interaction, and decision-making systems that require clarity, explainability, and auditability.

AURA also represents a logical continuation of Vilnius Business College’s strategic focus on artificial intelligence. In recent years, the College has been systematically strengthening its AI competencies in academic programs, technological solutions, and international partnerships. This project marks the next stage – active engagement in research and innovation, the results of which can contribute to the development of advanced artificial intelligence solutions in Lithuania and within the international academic community.

The scientific leader of the project’s international team is Professor Dr. Jari Kaivo-oja, Research Director at the Finland Futures Research Centre at the University of Turku. He is one of Finland’s most renowned researchers in the fields of futures studies and innovation, with many years of experience in European Union research programs and international research and innovation projects. During the project, Prof. J. Kaivo-oja will contribute to the development of the project’s international impact strategy, the dissemination of results, the innovation implementation model, and the creation of a collaboration ecosystem.

The AURA project strengthens the scientific potential of Vilnius Business College and, at the same time, demonstrates the broader potential of the college sector to actively participate in the development of science-based artificial intelligence solutions designed to address real-world challenges in higher education, the quality of studies, and the assessment of student progress.

On Wednesday, March 25, a career continuity event “I’m graduating from college – what’s next?” took place at Vilnius Business College, aimed at students considering further study opportunities in higher education institutions.

Academic journey as an intellectual investment in oneself

The event was opened by the director of Vilnius Business College, Gabija Skučaitė, who presented a talk on what it truly means to continue studies in higher education.
According to the director, the academic journey should not be perceived merely as a stage before work – it is a continuous form of personal growth, exploration, and investment in oneself. The director noted that today studies are often evaluated based on external returns: whether they quickly lead to a profession, provide visible recognition, or pay off immediately. However, studies also build internal capital – the ability to think more deeply, discipline, reflection, and a more mature relationship with oneself and the world. The director presented levels of education as steps of growth: bachelor’s studies provide the foundations of knowledge and the beginning of independence, master’s studies encourage deeper analysis and a stronger academic self-awareness, while doctoral studies, the highest level, are associated with the creation of new knowledge and intellectual responsibility. An important idea of the presentation is that a diploma is a visible result, but long-term value manifests through a culture of thinking, argumentation skills, internal discipline, and personal maturity. The presentation concluded with an inspiring quote from the President of Harvard University, Alan M. Garber: “Seeking truth is a journey without end” – investing in an academic journey means investing in one’s maturity, freedom of thought, and the ability to shape oneself.

Higher education system in Lithuania

Regina Kilinskaitė and Samson Toye Abiodun introduced students to the higher education system in Lithuania – from bachelor’s to doctoral studies. The speakers подробно presented three main study levels: bachelor’s studies provide first-level higher education, master’s studies allow specialization in a chosen field, and doctoral studies are intended for those pursuing an academic career and wishing to contribute to the creation of new knowledge. Admission requirements, study funding opportunities, and transfer procedures from colleges to universities were also discussed, allowing college graduates to continue their studies at a university with certain credit recognition.

Master’s study opportunities at Kazimieras Simonavičius University
The event continued with guests from Kazimieras Simonavičius University – Prof. Dr. Lidija Kraujalienė and Sandra Aksenavičiūtė, who presented master’s study opportunities at this university.
The speakers introduced the university’s master’s study programs, their content, and career prospects after graduation. Kazimieras Simonavičius University currently offers four study programs in English: Aviation Management, Organizational Innovation and Management, Fashion Management and Strategic Communication Studies. The duration of full-time master’s studies is 1.5 years and studies can also be chosen in a remote format. More information about their study programs can be found on the website ksu.lt. Graduates of Vilnius Business College will be granted special tuition fee discounts.

The event provided students with a valuable opportunity not only to learn about further study paths but also to personally speak with study consultants, ask relevant questions, and make a well-considered decision about their academic future.
