The Center for Excellence in Finance and Economic Research (CEFER) of the Bank of Lithuania is bringing forth a student challenge event, the CEFER Challenge. This year’s theme focuses on assessing the economic and financial impact of climate change.
Hosting institution: Vilnius University Faculty of Economics and Business Administration
Disciplines: Economics and Management
Type of funding: Research Fellowships at Vilnius University
Project duration: up to 3 months
Objective
Since the end of February 2022, the attack of the Russian army on Ukraine has triggered many refugees. Many Ukrainian scientists have already left or will leave their home country. Vilnius University Faculty of Economics and Business Administration opens a special call for emergency assistance to Ukrainian researchers in danger.
With all the world expressing solidarity with Ukraine, project “TechHub“ at the Agency for Science, innovation and Technology (MITA) together with “Vilnius university TechHub” “ChangeMakersON“ and “StartupBrand DNR“ invites teams, individuals and mentors to join the „TechHub Hack for Ukraine“ held on March 18-20th online. The registration to the event ends on Thursday morning.
FREEDOM is of special importance to every Lithuanian citizen, especially in the context of recent events. It does not matter who you are - a student, a scientist or a president - freedom unites us all, it opens the door to new discoveries, it projects our future and it is the driving force of creativity, innovation and discovery. And there is no need for great philosophies to grasp this truth, everyone understands it, for imprisonment is the greatest punishment that a man can face.
Dear members of VU community, faculty students and colleagues, LET'S CELEBRATE FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE and don't be afraid of the events that are taking place in Russia, because the progress of the world is deeply related to freedom! Happy Restoration of Independence Day!

Dr. Aida Mačerinskienė
