Spending time in nature is usually associated with positive effects on human well-being – improved mood, reduced stress, better attention, and a stronger sense of connection with the natural environment. However, a new international study co-authored by researchers affiliated with Vilnius University Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and Mykolas Romeris University reveals a more nuanced side of this relationship: enjoyable nature experiences can, in some situations, compete with people’s willingness to help others or the environment.

We invite you to attend a scientific seminar dedicated to the presentation of the results of the project „Šalies ekonomikos perorientavimo į aukštą pridėti nę vertę kuriančias sritis kintančių geopolitinių sąlygų kontekste tyrimas“ (EKONGEO)(Contract No. S-VIS-23-7).

On April 16, 2026, the VU Tech Hub Demo Day 2026 took place at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Vilnius University. During the event, ten teams of young creators took the stage to present the startups they had developed over the past six months to investors, experts, and the wider community.

On 9–13 March 2026, eight representatives from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (FEBA) at Vilnius University participated in the international Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) titled “The Future of Work”, held at UC Leuven-Limburg Hogeschool (UCLL), Hasselt, Diepenbeek Campus, Belgium. The programme brought together 59 students and five accompanying lecturers from 11 countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and Poland.
