To make it easier for incoming students to take the first steps in the country and not to get lost, Vytautas Magnus University International Cooperation Department invites VMU students to become mentors of international students and to lend them a helping hand!
„Lithuanian National Security Conference 2022“ will take place at VMU
The unprovoked and ongoing aggression of Russia against Ukraine have created instability in the region, in Europe and in the world. This special situation does not leave anyone indifferent in Lithuanian society, as well as in the Lithuanian Riflemen’s Union, which from the very beginning of the war actively supports the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and provides support to Ukrainian Armed forces. Nationwide National defense is one of the guarantors of security for small states, so it is important for us to understand the contemporary geopolitical context, the possibilities of defensive activities of society, as well as to learn from the experience of the war in Ukraine. On November 15, the Lithuanian Riflemen’s Union, together with Vytautas Magnus University, organizes the „Lithuanian National Security Conference 2022“ which will take place in the Great Hall of VMU, S. Daukanto str. 28, Kaunas.
