A researcher in intercultural communication, multilingualism, and academic language, her work examines how different languages and cultures shape scientific discourse and international collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">Holding a PhD in linguistics and conducting research across Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, and Lithuania, Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107 shares her insights on what makes Lithuania attractive to international researchers, the challenges posed by differing cultures, and the shifting landscape of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>A small country with big opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">The academic recounts that she first encountered Kauno kolegija in 2017 \u2013 a meeting that sparked initial academic ties, which eventually grew into a closer collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">&#8216;I could say that I was drawn to Lithuania and this institution by the opportunity to contribute to a growing academic environment that highly values international cooperation and applied research,&#8217; shares Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">She is delighted that Kauno kolegija welcomed her so warmly: &#8216;The strong focus on practical activities set this institution apart from others where a purely theoretical academic environment prevailed.&#8217; When asked what Lithuania offers the global scientific community, she argues that its strength lies in balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">&#8216;In Kauno kolegija, and within the Lithuanian scientific field in general, I see a dynamic balance between openness and ambition \u2013 higher education institutions are eager to build international partnerships and strengthen their research directions,&#8217; says the researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">As Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107 emphasises, it is not just about opportunities. According to her, equally important is the shared worldview, the ability to embrace innovation openly, creativity, novelty, and intercultural exchange: &#8216;All this together creates a favourable environment for scientific research.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>Between languages and cultures: where the real challenges lie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">According to the researcher, internationalisation today is often a high-sounding but not always fully understood term. In practice, it means much more: diverse and inclusive audiences, joint projects, and constant multilingual communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">&#8216;When intercultural meetings take place, the main challenges usually arise from trying to understand cultural subtleties while ensuring inclusion and maintaining high academic standards across different experiences and contexts,&#8217; she states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a48dfc868f0e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a48dfc868f0e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" 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\/06\/Kauno-kolegijos-nuotr.-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-280706\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/Kauno-kolegijos-nuotr.-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/Kauno-kolegijos-nuotr.-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/Kauno-kolegijos-nuotr.-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/Kauno-kolegijos-nuotr.-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/Kauno-kolegijos-nuotr.-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/Kauno-kolegijos-nuotr.-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kaunokolegija.lt\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/06\/Kauno-kolegijos-nuotr.-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><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<p class=\"is-style-justify\">In her research, she observes that although institutions worldwide adopt English as a common means of communication, cultural nuances still shape how ideas are expressed and understood. Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107 reveals that these factors determine how thoughts are articulated and perceived. Consequently, minor misunderstandings or even deeper misconceptions can arise, which must be resolved through both verbal and non-verbal signals. For this reason, the use of English as a common language for studies and scientific communication is both an opportunity and a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">&#8216;On the one hand, it opens doors to international collaboration and helps attract foreign students; however, there is also a risk that local languages and cultural identities may be overshadowed. Therefore, the search for balance is paramount \u2013 how to preserve national heritage while ensuring global accessibility,&#8217; says Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-l-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><strong>Kauno kolegija: from theory to real impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">When asked what makes Kauno kolegija stand out, the scholar highlights the strong link between science and practice \u2013 in her view, the knowledge created here is directly applied in business and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">&#8216;This is exactly why the institution becomes particularly relevant in international projects, where not only the theoretical contribution but also tangible results are important. I believe that Lithuania has great potential to become visible in the fields of applied science and interdisciplinary projects, rather than simply following in the footsteps of other countries,&#8217; shares the associate professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">She notes that these opportunities are driven by Lithuania&#8217;s flexibility and ability to offer a fresh perspective \u2013 especially where smaller countries and their higher education systems have more agility to react quickly and experiment boldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">Based on the latest trends and scientific insights, higher education, according to Dr M. Prodanovi\u0107, is undergoing a fundamental transformation \u2013 it is increasingly shaped by digitalisation, flexible learning models, and a growing demand for skills that transcend individual disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-justify\">&#8216;Lithuania is no exception \u2013 it has every opportunity to adapt quickly, exploit its openness to innovation, and strengthen international ties to remain competitive in a rapidly changing environment,&#8217; the researcher concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Marijana Prodanovi\u0107, an associate professor at the Language Centre of the Faculty of Arts and Education at Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution, knows Lithuania well \u2013 her academic path has been&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":280705,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-280704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
