Lithuania is increasingly recognising that national progress and global competitiveness depend on our ability to generate, develop, and commercialise scientific knowledge and innovation. Yet, the biggest barrier to meaningful innovation remains the disconnect between science and business. Although innovations are emerging, many stall early due to a lack of mechanisms for successful commercialisation.

Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) is making a bold move to enhance its scientific and innovation capabilities with the launch of the Institute for Science and Innovation. This newly established Institute will serve as a strategic hub, bringing together the University’s research efforts while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation development.

On 12 June, the inaugural meeting of the newly formed Senate of Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) was held, during which the Chair, Deputy Chair, and Secretary of the Senate were elected.

On 4 June, the international exhibition “The Queen, the Kingdom and the Feelings” opened at the House of Histories, part of the National Museum of Lithuania. Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) is proud to be an official partner of this unique cultural project.

Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) is more than just a place to acquire knowledge — it is also an incubator for forward-thinking ideas. One of its most dynamic initiatives is the Next Society Institute (NSI), a research institute affiliated with KSU and led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Steffen Roth, who playfully calls it a “theory start-up.” A visionary sociologist and management thinker, Prof. Roth is known for revitalising systems theory—especially the work of Niklas Luhmann—for the 21st century.

On 14 May 2025, Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania (MFA) signed a cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening the active dialogue between the university’s academic community and the Ministry, as well as leveraging academic expertise in the implementation of Lithuania’s foreign and diaspora policy.
