In 2025, 17 joint project proposals were prepared, including those under the Horizon Europe, EIT, and Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">The successfully implemented Research Council of Lithuania France\u2013Lithuania cooperation project &#8216;Monitoring of Metrological Data Using IoT Devices&#8217; highlighted the active involvement of Dr Laimonas Kairi\u016bk\u0161tis from the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Technologies. He also participated in a project funded by the French National Research Agency and is contributing to the preparation of a book on IoT technologies. Together with Tampere University of Applied Sciences, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thws.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Technical University of Applied Sciences W\u00fcrzburg-Schweinfurt<\/a><\/strong> (THWS), and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thuas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Hague University of Applied Sciences<\/a><\/strong> (THUAS), the institution successfully prepared and is currently coordinating an Erasmus+ project aimed at strengthening students\u2019 research competencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">Kaunas kolegija consistently expands its international cooperation by implementing Erasmus+ projects both as a coordinator and as a partner. A significant achievement is the project won together with TAMK, THWS, and THUAS, coordinated by the institution and aimed at enhancing students\u2019 research skills. The institution also actively participates in Nordplus programme initiatives covering rehabilitation, digital transition, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>Opportunities for developing researchers\u2019 competencies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">The implementation of projects with UNINOVIS partners has significantly increased staff mobility. Since January 2025, 39 staff members have improved their competencies through Erasmus+ and Nordplus programmes, while an additional 8 researchers have completed internships at partner institutions (THWS, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.univ-spn.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USPN<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uma.es\/?set_language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UMA<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">An important contribution has been made by training sessions delivered by partners at Kaunas kolegija, particularly seminars led by TAMK representatives on team coaching and entrepreneurship. Cooperation in this area continues successfully and contributes to the development of the \u201cideaPoint\u201d centre, which was established in collaboration with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thomasmore.be\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thomas More UAS<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hm.edu\/en\/index.en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Munich UAS<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>Looking ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">By 2028, in cooperation with alliance partners, plans include the development of micro-credential courses, joint and double degree programmes, and other lifelong learning opportunities, as well as strengthening collaboration among researchers in preparing research projects and conducting joint research. A key focus is to promote mobility among students, lecturers, and researchers by expanding its various forms, particularly virtual mobility through COIL, BIP (Blended Intensive Programme), and other programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">The next major structural step is the establishment of the new UNINOVIS Centre of Excellence, CYBERLOGO, focused on collaboration and innovation in the fields of logistics and cybersecurity. This centre will function as a &#8216;living laboratory&#8217; for applied research, innovation development and transfer, and the expansion of international cooperation, involving representatives from business, society, and other stakeholders. For students, it will become a new hub fostering creativity and the development of business ideas, engaging them in international events, hackathons, creative workshops, and innovation camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">The long-term vision of UNINOVIS is to create a European higher education area where studies, research, and innovation are closely linked to the challenges of digitalisation, sustainability, and societal well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e85997b74d2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e85997b74d2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1416\" height=\"946\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/UNINOVIS-ASSEMBLY-2026-01-29-at-10.53.59-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-280097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/UNINOVIS-ASSEMBLY-2026-01-29-at-10.53.59-5.jpeg 1416w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/UNINOVIS-ASSEMBLY-2026-01-29-at-10.53.59-5-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/UNINOVIS-ASSEMBLY-2026-01-29-at-10.53.59-5-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/UNINOVIS-ASSEMBLY-2026-01-29-at-10.53.59-5-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/UNINOVIS-ASSEMBLY-2026-01-29-at-10.53.59-5-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1416px) 100vw, 1416px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>Celebrating the anniversary with the community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">The first UNINOVIS anniversary was celebrated at Kaunas kolegija, while partner institutions marked the occasion simultaneously.
