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:

“Thermo Fisher Scientific Baltics” UAB in cooperation with Vilnius University invites prospective first year master students from VU Life Sciences Center, Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics to prepare Master final thesis at the Company.

Favorite students selected to prepare Master final thesis at the Company will receive Thermo Fisher Scientific Baltics nominal scholarship of 2200 Eur per single academic year. VU students who prepare the final thesis at the Company for two academic years and if study results do not worsen, are entitled for a second-year scholarship, therefore total scholarship would amount up to 4400 Eur*.

The Laser Nanophotonics Group, led by Prof. Mangirdas Malinauskas (Vilnius University, Faculty of Physics, Laser Research Center), has published an educational article on the theoretical and practical fundamentals of laser-based 3D multiphoton lithography and applied methodologies. This guide has been published in the prestigious journal Nature Reviews Methods Primers in collaboration with the pioneer of two-photon polymerization, Prof. Shoji Maruo (Yokohama University), the esteemed Prof. Georg von Freyman (Kaiserslautern University), and the remarkable Prof. Julia Greer (California Institute of Technology). Among the authors are also Dr. Edvinas Skliutas (Faculty of Physics, alumnus) and Dr. Greta Merkininkaitė (Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences, VU). The combined expertise of all authors in the field exceeds 100 years.
