On June 19, 2025, the historic St. John's Church of Vilnius University became a stage for celebration, recognition, and emotion as the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (FEBA) held its graduation ceremony. Surrounded by faculty members, families, friends, colleagues, and academic partners, graduates came together to mark the completion of an important academic chapter and the beginning of a new path forward.

Could a walk in the park rival a bar of chocolate? A new research project from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at Vilnius University (VU FEBA) is investigating whether nature can substitute traditional material rewards like sweets or money—and the results may surprise you.

We invite you to the graduation ceremony on the 19th of June 2025 at the Church of St. Johns!
