The team of scientists from the Institute of Geosciences of Vilnius University participated in AGU2025, one of the largest and most influential international conferences for the global geoscience community, organized by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The conference was held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, USA, bringing together thousands of researchers from around the world.

• Prof. habil. dr. Aivaras Kareiva was confirmed as vice-president (responsible for science policy and international relations).
• Prof. (HP) dr. Ričardas Makuška was confirmed as chairman of the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

Dr. Agnieszka Małgorzata Lipke is a doctor of chemistry and researcher currently completing a postdoctoral internship at the Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences at Vilnius University. She came to Vilnius from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS) in Lublin (Poland), where she gained a strong academic and scientific foundation in the field of advanced inorganic materials research. In this interview, Dr. Lipke talks about the topic of her postdoctoral fellowship, her research, and her experiences at Vilnius University.

In 2024–2025, geographer Dr. Camille Robert-Boeuf completed a postdoctoral internship at the Institute of Geosciences of the Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences of VU. Her research focused on the transformation of agricultural landscapes in Central Europe, especially in Lithuania and Poland. The postdoc was particularly pleased with the dynamic, open and welcoming atmosphere of the Department of Geography and Landscape Management. For more information about the intern's impressions, we invite you to read the interview.

We are pleased to announce a lecture by Dr. Besra İnan, Lecturer and Specialist at Şırnak University (Turkey), on the topic:

“Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials and Their Application in Biosensors”
