During the interview, the scientist talked about her projects, her experience over the past year at our faculty, what challenges she faced, and what experience she gained. The full interview is available below.

The European Commission has announced the results of the 2025 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships) call. We are happy to announce that Dr. Megha Deshmukh has been awarded an ERA postdoctoral fellowship grant. Her supervisor is prof. Arūnas Ramanavičius from the Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences at Vilnius University. 

The project aims to develop an advanced electrochemical system that would simultaneously produce urea, an important raw material for fertilizers, and treat wastewater.

The Smart Internship for Vilnius University (VU) students is a space for new experiences and professional growth. Solving real-world problems faced by companies and institutions allows students to gain practical skills and broaden their horizons. In this interview, VU student Simona shares her experience: what an internship at the Ministry of Transport and Communications and the FCIS looks like, why it is worth stepping out of your comfort zone, and the value of connecting with students from other fields of study.

The Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences at Vilnius University is organizing the third national scientific conference „Chemistry and Geosciences 2026" to present the latest scientific research and mark the centenary of the founding of the geography departments at Vilnius University. We invite you to participate!

The conference will take place on March 20, 2026, at the Institute of Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences of Vilnius University (Naugarduko g. 24) in the Inorganic Chemistry Auditorium (auditorium 141).

We are happy to announce that the winter session of the Young Chemists' School NJChM "Pažinimas" has been successfully completed.

Throughout the session, young chemists actively participated in lectures, seminars, meetings with alumni and performed laboratory work. Laboratory work is an important part of the school, during which students can apply theory in practice, experiment safely and deepen their knowledge of chemistry.

On January 12th registration for study exchange for the fall semester or academic year of 2026-2027 is open! Study exchange is a great opportunity to deepen your academic knowledge at a foreign university, get to know other study systems and gain international experience!
