A new opportunity has emerged for the T4EU partners to intensify cooperation and establish a fruitful dialogue between academia and business.

The prospective lecturers have to come from the entrepreneurial and academic fields and must be nominated by the T4EU partner universities. Application deadline is March 31st.

The first lecture, taking place on May 4th, will be titled Resilient Cities: Connecting Wellbeing, Infrastructure & Citizens. For this event, VMU is seeking an entrepreneur who is experienced in this field and who would be recommended by one of the alliance’s universities.

The second lecture, Of digital business models, networks and gatekeepers – from analogous to digital business models, will be held on May 25th. For this one, the university wants to find an academician in this field from the partner universities.

Each of the two lectures will have two speakers, one of which has already been assigned on behalf of Vytautas Magnus University: respectively, Professor at the VMU Dept. of Sociology Jurga Bučaitė-Vilkė and VMU graduate, co-founder of Dogo App Tadas Žiemys.
