From 24th to 28th June 2024, the University of Bath in the United Kingdom hosted the largest management science conference in Europe, EURAM 2024. Now in its 25th year, the conference was centered around the theme: Fostering Innovation to Address Grand Challenges.
Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) was represented at the conference by Dr. Deimantė Žilinskienė, Head of the School of Business Innovation and Communication. Dr. Žilinskienė moderated a panel discussion titled Business Schools in Motion – New Frontiers for Management Education in a Changing World.
In light of today’s challenges, society is undergoing radical transformations. Business schools have the potential to play a crucial role in this process, but to do so, they must also undergo significant changes. Dr. Žilinskienė, along with other distinguished leaders in business education, including Professor Kathrin Moeslein (FAU, Germany, former EURAM President), Professor Hamid Kazeroony (USA, Minnesota State University, EURAM Board Member), and Professor Drikus Kriek (Dean of the Business School and Director of Doctoral Studies at Bled School of Management, Slovenia), engaged in a dynamic discussion with the audience. They explored the challenges facing business schools, the future evolution of these institutions, and the changes already taking place within their respective organisations. The panelists also shared best practices and insights from their experiences.
The conference delved into the role of technological innovation in value creation, enhancing competitiveness, and driving economic growth. A key focus was on how innovation in the era of artificial intelligence can help address emerging challenges without creating new ones. Researchers attending the conference sought to answer how businesses, governments, and academia can collaborate to develop new solutions that ensure innovation remains responsible and ethical. Discussions also emphasised the need to move beyond “traditional” forms of innovation to embrace organisational, business model, and social innovations. The scholars highlighted the significant opportunities for impactful research in management, organisational, and policy challenges that are essential for fostering necessary innovations.
On August 5-6, the Rector of Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU), Prof. Dr. Jolanta Bieliauskaitė, welcomed participants to the international scientific-practical conference “Ukraine and Lithuania: Parallels of History, Language, Culture, and Tourism.” The event was held at the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore.
In her opening address, the Rector emphasized the importance of mutual understanding between the two nations. She highlighted that the exchange of scientific and practical knowledge is essential in fostering these ties. “Kazimieras Simonavičius University is proud of its long-standing cooperation with Ukrainian universities and is pleased to contribute to strengthening ties between the two nations. To support Ukrainians living in Lithuania due to the war instigated by Russia, the university offers Lithuanian language courses, helping them integrate smoothly into the local community. We want Ukrainian people to feel safe both at the University and in Lithuania and to be able to integrate smoothly into our community while preserving their own identity,” said the Rector.
Presentations at the conference were delivered by prominent researchers from the Institute, including Dr. Halyna Pšeničkina, Prof. Dr. Sergejus Temčinas, ethnologist Gražina Kadžytė, and PhD students Nadiia Popyk and Linas Tavaras, whose theses are related to the Ukrainian region.
KSU Prof. Dr. Jolanta Zabarskaitė gave a presentation on cognitive language teaching methods.
The event was moderated by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jurga Trimonytė Bikelienė and Prof. Igor Koroliovas. Organized by the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore in cooperation with the Baltic Studies Centre of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, the conference drew over 40 participants from both Ukrainian and Lithuanian research and study institutions. The sessions were conducted both in person and remotely, allowing for a diverse and inclusive participation.
The conference featured a wide range of presentations, addressing topical issues and drawing parallels between Lithuanian and Ukrainian culture, literature, and history.
During the conference, partnership and scientific cooperation agreements were signed with Ukrainian universities, further cementing the collaborative efforts between the two countries.
Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) is launching Lithuania’s first Aviation and Space Academy, bringing together enthusiasts from these fields. The initial 12-week training programme will begin this September. We discussed the need for the Academy and its goals with Dr Deimantė Žilinskienė, head of KSU’s School of Business Innovation and Communication and a board member of the National Aviation Association LAVIA.
How did the idea to establish the Aviation and Space Academy at the university come about?
Aviation management studies have been conducted at KSU for ten years, during which the university has accumulated significant expertise in this field. Naturally, we want to share this knowledge with aviation enthusiasts. The desire and need to establish the Aviation and Space Academy at KSU has been around for a while, and this September it will become a reality with the formation of the first group. The field is also becoming more popular, and the demand for these specialists in the job market is always immense and continually growing.
The university constantly receives inquiries about the subjects covered in our Aviation Management study programme and the career opportunities after graduation. People are curious about how to become a pilot, a flight attendant, or pursue other professions in the growing aviation industry. Not everyone wants to or can pilot an aircraft, but the dream of working in aviation can be realised through other activities related to managerial competencies. The Academy aims to answer these questions and promote the aviation field.
How did the space topic become part of the academy’s programme?
Space is becoming a topic that can be explored from many perspectives. It is becoming more accessible to people – in the future, there will be more commercial flights to space, creating business expansion opportunities. This field will also require managerial competencies. Therefore, at the Academy, we will discuss not only the mysteries of space but also how we can “conquer” space by working on Earth. Lithuania aims to become a space-faring nation, and we see our mission as contributing to this ambition from an educational perspective. Notably, astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper visited Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) on 9 May and met with the KSU academic community. The meeting was truly inspiring and left a significant impression on both students and our social partners.
What do the training sessions of the Aviation and Space Academy focus on?
We are open to everyone interested in aviation and space. Whether the training participants want to learn more about a future profession, check their interests, or simply spend time among like-minded people, all Academy participants will be united by a common theme – a passion for aviation and space. People already working in this industry and those considering how to apply their existing knowledge to create a business will find interesting topics.
What will the training sessions look like?
The training will be conducted remotely and will last 12 weeks. Each session will focus on a different topic. One day, we will talk about how to become a pilot; the next, about what a flight attendant’s life is really like. We will discuss the VIP flight industry, what the Space Agency and other space-related organisations are, how businesses in the aviation and space fields are developed, and more. We want it to become a great space for enthusiasts in these fields to meet. We expect not only interesting lectures but also engaging discussions, new acquaintances, and contacts. During the 12-week training programme, Academy participants will have a unique opportunity to meet and network with leaders in the aviation and space fields, pilots, flight attendants, airline founders, executives, renowned aviation and space experts, and others.
We aim for the lectures to be interesting. Our lecturers are professionals who have created success stories in the aviation field and are contributing to the industry’s progress today. Several lectures will be conducted in English, as we will have guest speakers from abroad. One of them is Jack Romero, a world-renowned aviation entrepreneur, mentor, and founder of British Mediterranean Airways.
The launch of ChatGPT, a generative AI chatbot, in November last year marked the beginning of an AI revolution. Rapidly becoming an essential tool across many professions—such as finance, copywriting, translation, editing, and law—it prompts a reevaluation of the future necessity of various jobs. We spoke with Dr. Jolanta Bieliauskaitė, Rector of Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU) and Professor of Law, to explore how AI will reshape the legal profession and what changes legal professionals need to prepare for.
The Impact of AI on the Legal Profession
Dr. Bieliauskaitė explains that, like many other professions, the legal field can greatly benefit from AI, which serves as an excellent assistant in handling preparatory tasks. “Lawyers can already optimize their workflow using AI tools: they can prepare documents, edit texts, translate legal concepts, draft contracts, and write letters more efficiently,” she notes. One standout capability of AI is its proficiency in analyzing vast amounts of documents—a task that many lawyers find time-consuming and are increasingly willing to outsource to AI.
Challenges of Implementing AI in Law
However, the integration of AI in the legal domain is not without its challenges. Dr. Bieliauskaitė highlights several issues, particularly concerning data protection, confidentiality, and decision-making. “These are serious concerns,” she says. “In systems like ChatGPT, data retention and further use are points of contention. Abroad, AI systems are being deployed on corporate servers or in private clouds to mitigate these risks.” Another significant issue is accountability—who is liable for mistakes made by a robot lawyer?
Can AI Replace Lawyers?
Dr. Bieliauskaitė is clear that while AI can assist with many legal tasks, it cannot replace the nuanced decision-making of a human lawyer. “AI can perform many of a lawyer’s tasks, but making a decision requires weighing multiple factors. Only a human, equipped with comprehensive information, knowledge, and intelligence, can creatively solve legal problems that often involve moral and social dimensions,” she asserts. “Mistakes in law are both painful and costly.”
The Future of the Legal Profession
Despite the advancements in AI, Dr. Bieliauskaitė is confident that the legal profession will not disappear. “The need and importance of lawyers will not diminish. AI will help reduce the time spent on routine tasks, but the legal system cannot be regulated by AI alone,” she states. “Lawyers will continue to be indispensable in addressing complex legal issues.”
However, she emphasizes that lawyers must now acquire additional skills such as management, project management, design thinking, process and data analytics, and technological proficiency. “Our university continuously updates its law curriculum to align with global trends and market needs, ensuring that lawyers develop relevant competencies,” she adds.
Preparing for the Changes
To adapt to the technological revolution, Dr. Bieliauskaitė advises that lawyers learn to navigate and leverage AI systems while managing the associated risks. “Universities must review their curricula, assess the future roles of lawyers, and provide opportunities for current professionals to develop new competencies,” she suggests. As an example, she mentions an upcoming event organized by Kazimieras Simonavičius University, titled “Innovations in Law and Technology: Applying Artificial Intelligence in Law and Business,” which will offer practical insights into AI innovations and their applications in legal and business contexts.
Developing Future-Ready Skills
Dr. Bieliauskaitė concludes that to adapt to new realities, continuous learning, creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability are essential. “The role of creative and critical thinking will only grow in importance, and it is our responsibility in education to create environments where these qualities can thrive,” she asserts.
In this age of artificial intelligence and digitalization, a significant gap remains between men and women in creating or developing their businesses online. According to the World Bank, 42% of women in developed countries engage in e-commerce, compared to only 19% in less developed countries. In Lithuania, as in other EU countries, initiatives are underway to support women and girls in developing their information and communication technology (ICT), business, and soft skills to promote their employment and entrepreneurship in the e-commerce sector.
Reda Juodkūnienė, project manager at Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU), highlighted that to increase women’s participation in e-commerce, the university, along with international partners, implemented a project aimed at developing the necessary competencies for women in e-commerce. According to Juodkūnienė, empowering women to feel comfortable in the digital space opens up greater opportunities for them to realize their business ideas. “Women can create jobs with minimal costs and test business ideas with less risk. Having their own business online allows women to balance work with family needs more flexibly, be independent, and self-sufficient,” says Juodkūnienė.
Addressing Women’s Unemployment Through E-commerce
The drive to address women’s unemployment by enabling them to participate in creating their own e-businesses led to the creation and implementation of the project “E-commerce Training for Women Entrepreneurs.” This project developed a training program to improve digital skills and knowledge related to e-commerce, offering interactive training courses freely accessible on an online platform. The platform also includes a special e-commerce business guide filled with examples and practical tips.
Community Engagement and Expert Insights
The KSU project team invited women entrepreneurs to a brunch where they discussed the project results and offered lectures from invited professionals. Indrė Kudrevičė, founder of Mentorės.lt and the “Sėkminga Aš” community, shared her insights on promoting women’s entrepreneurship and the opportunities in e-commerce. She emphasized that the learning platform created during the project is an excellent tool for women wanting to take their first independent steps in both creating and developing a business.
Balancing E-business and Family
Vaida Ivaniukaitė, developer of the “Y Tėvai” brand and family educator, shared her experience on balancing efforts between e-business and family. “It is very important to plan time to achieve balance, set personal priorities, and the more knowledge and experience you accumulate, the easier things go,” said Vaida.
Professional Communication and Etiquette
Indrė Sapagovaitė, an etiquette and protocol specialist and founder of www.modernusetiketas.lt, advised women on how to handle certain situations when interacting with business partners and clients. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance between friendliness and professional communication.
Personal Experiences and Encouragement
Natalija Glazunova, entrepreneur and founder of “Skonio burtai,” encourages women to engage in e-commerce boldly and shared her personal experience of managing her business while working a regular job. She highlighted the importance of planning, proper knowledge, and continuous learning.
Brigita Šilinskė, developer of the “Aš Lietuvė” brand, improved her knowledge in cybersecurity and financial management through the training program. She found that the self-study courses clarified various essential actions in e-commerce, making her work much easier.
Training Program and Future Use
The training program is also adapted for lecturers, ensuring its continued use to promote women’s entrepreneurship. Anyone interested in strengthening their knowledge in e-commerce can learn independently on the platform.

The world of fashion is ever-evolving, presenting limitless opportunities for those passionate about its dynamic landscape. Greta Kukštaitė, a renowned fashion journalist and co-founder of the “Fashion Academy,” exemplifies the boundless potential within the industry. Her story, from childhood dreams to professional achievements, is a testament to the power of dedication and creativity.
A Childhood Dream Turned Reality
Greta’s fascination with fashion began at a young age. “I started ‘publishing’ fashion magazines when I was very young,” she reminisces. From drawing covers to crafting articles and imaginary celebrity interviews, Greta’s early experiences laid the foundation for her future career. Today, she is a celebrated writer for Elle magazine, covering a myriad of fashion topics.
The Academic Journey
After finishing school, Greta pursued her passion at Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU), the only institution in Lithuania offering a Fashion Industry study program. “Deciding what to study was easy – I knew I wanted to work in fashion,” Greta recalls. The university provided her with invaluable knowledge and inspiration from esteemed professors like fashion guru Prof. Eugenijus Skerstonas. Contrary to common misconceptions, KSU’s program focuses on fashion business, communication, and management, rather than just pattern-making and sewing. “The fashion industry is vast, with countless areas for self-realization and a need for a wide range of competencies,” Greta explains.
The Birth of Fashion Academy
During her time at KSU, Greta conceived the idea of creating a fashion academy for enthusiasts. This dream materialized in early March when she, in collaboration with KSU, founded the “Fashion Academy.” The academy offers an 8-week program for high school students, university students, and fashion enthusiasts, aiming to broaden horizons and help participants explore their future dreams. “It’s important to start realizing oneself as early as possible,” Greta emphasizes, encouraging continuous learning and the pursuit of new opportunities.
A Unique Educational Experience
The “Fashion Academy” stands out as the first of its kind in Lithuania. Participants have the opportunity to engage with prominent experts in various fashion fields, including design, styling, communication, technology, and haute couture. They also gain insights into finding their niche within the fashion world. Greta attributes the academy’s success to the professionalism of its lecturers, who bring diverse experiences from both local and international fashion scenes.
Positive Feedback and Future Ambitions
The initial feedback from academy participants has been overwhelmingly positive. “Participants have mentioned gaining courage, self-confidence, and a better understanding of career opportunities in fashion,” Greta shares. KSU’s rector, Prof. Dr. Jolanta Bieliauskaitė, expresses pride in the successful careers of the university’s fashion industry graduates. She highlights the university’s ambition to expand its fashion studies at both the bachelor’s and master’s levels, responding to industry trends and the growing demand for skilled professionals.
“We plan to continue educating experts capable of navigating the multifaceted fashion industry, adapting to technological changes, and promoting ethical and sustainable fashion practices,” says the rector. “Greta is a shining example of our ambitious and active graduates, and projects like ‘Fashion Academy’ demonstrate the valuable partnership between alumni and the university.”
On June 17th, the Vice-Rector of Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU), L. Tauginienė, participated in a pivotal discussion on scientific and academic integrity. This event delved into the effective integration of integrity education within school curricula and explored collaborative efforts between policymakers, researchers, and academic institutions to foster integrity and address misconduct.
Vice-Rector Tauginienė emphasized that the critical factor is not the students’ age but the stage at which they begin their science education. At this juncture, students can enhance their understanding of privacy (often linked to confidentiality and data protection in research) and the principle of benevolence (related to informed consent and the right to withdraw from research). She stressed that ethical sensitivity requires time to develop and should be nurtured gradually, for example, through participation in citizen science projects that combine the efforts of professional and amateur researchers.
The discussion featured notable participants including Prof. Krista Varantola, former chair of Finland’s National Board on Research Integrity and leader of the working group for the 2023 European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, and James Parry, Chief Innovation Officer at the UK’s Research Integrity Office (UKRIO). Dr. Sabine Chai, head of the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity, moderated the session.
These thematic discussions, known as EduTalks@CoE, are periodically organized by the Council of Europe’s Platform on Ethics, Transparency, and Integrity in Education (ETINED). Representing Lithuania on this platform is Ieva Vaiciukevičienė from the Centre for Quality Assessment in Higher Education.
We invite you to listen to the recorded discussion: EduTalk@CoE on Research and Academic Integrity on Vimeo.
My name is Victoria Kuchuk, and I’m 18 years old from Dnipro, Ukraine. In 2023, I graduated from Gymnasium 138 with a silver medal. Currently, I am a first-year student at KSU, studying Aviation Management. My choice of profession was not accidental – since childhood, I have been fascinated by airplanes and airports. My hobbies include volleyball and ballroom dancing, and I have received awards in these areas. My main strengths are a strong desire to learn and develop, and I am ready to self-realize in any field of activity. However, I do have a weakness: I set high goals and demands on myself.
KSU offers one of the strongest Aviation Management programmes in Europe, with integrated IATA courses. KSU consists of active specialists in their fields, and small study groups ensure personal attention to each student.
I chose to pursue higher education in Lithuania because it meets high educational standards. Lithuanian universities comply with the Bologna Process of European Higher Education, meaning that the education received here is recognized across Europe. Additionally, Lithuania is an amazing country.
The main difference between studying at KSU and in Ukraine is that, from the first year, students focus on their field of study without being burdened by unrelated subjects. This allows students to dedicate all their time to professional development. Another significant difference is that the teachers and staff at KSU treat students with respect, recognizing their rights and treating them as equals, which is crucial for a novice specialist.
The most surprising aspect of studying in Lithuania is that, thanks to good academic performance, you can partially fund your university studies. It is especially surprising in private universities. Additionally, you can work while obtaining a higher education.
KSU excels in its interactions with Lithuanian and international companies, preparing students for successful careers. KSU employs innovative teaching methods, and the university has student exchange agreements with over 100 universities worldwide. The university offers numerous opportunities for professional training and educational projects abroad and provides excellent job prospects in European countries. The university focuses on specialties that are in demand both now and in the future. I believe KSU is up-to-date with modern standards and needs no improvements.
In the next 5 years, I plan to complete my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at KSU, find a job in my field, and consolidate the knowledge and experience gained from my studies.
Due to the global processes in the world, we are coping with many threats – cyber-security threats, hybrid-threats, security of energy and uses of different resources. Security specialists have to be able to cope with the risks – to analyse, plan risk management in the organisation and to be ready to develop risk management policies and plans in their organisations. From the other side, CEOs, business owners have to be aware about security and should be actively involved in the security risk management process.
This course will create mixed group of security and business students, who will explore security risk management process which is an important part of any business or company.
In frame of the course students will participate in lectures, workshops, practical sessions and study visits. In this Course participants will be bachelor and master level students from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Finland. Lectures and workshops will be led by professors from all partner Universities as well as invited professionals.
Language of the Course – English, participation in the Course – free of change. Organisers will cover travel, accommodation, catering, study visits, some excursions and free time activity costs.
Students will receive 4 ECTS for the participation in the Course which will be recognised at KSU.
When? 13-25 August 2024
Where? Riga, Latvia
Who can apply? Bachelor and master students of Law and Business fields, any other students interested in security risk management topic (except the last year students). Only 5 places are available for KSU students.
Interested? Submit the Application till 20 June by e-mail international@ksu.lt.
This Course is implemented by Turiba University (Latvia) in a cooperation with Kazimieras Simonavicius University (Lithuania), Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia), Laurea University of Applied Sciences (Finland) and Nord University (Norway). Project receives financial support from NORDPLUS Higher education program. Project number: NPHE- 2024/10358.
This season, the sports uniforms of the Vilkaviškis football club Šešupė are proudly displaying the logo of Kazimieras Simonavicius University (KSU). This is thanks to Dovilė Dockaitė, a player for the team who is also pursuing a degree in Business Management at KSU. Dovilė is not just any student; she is a professional footballer who has successfully managed to balance her athletic career with her studies at Kazimieras Simonavičius University.
According to KSU Rector Prof. Dr. Jolanta Bieliauskaitė, the university is dedicated to nurturing and developing students’ talents by creating a supportive environment. This includes flexible lecture schedules and individualized study plans when necessary. “We received a request from Dovilė and the club president to support the team, and we did not hesitate. We provided quality sportswear for the entire women’s team. The achievements of Dovilė’s team are also our achievements,” says the rector.
Dovilė feels continuously supported by both her fellow students and lecturers. She is excited that her alma mater’s name and logo will be featured on her club’s sportswear. ”It is an honor for us to promote KSU – the university where I study. We believe that the KSU insignia will bring us success,” she says.
Vytautas Paunksnis, Dovilė Dockaitė’s coach and the president of football club Šešupė, is thrilled about the partnership with Kazimieras Simonavičius University and hopes it will develop into a long-term collaboration. “We are a club that has been nurturing individual talents through hard work and daily efforts for twenty years. We are grateful to the university for understanding the significance and value of supporting our football,” says the club president. The Šešupė club is a non-profit organization with sponsorship status. “We value every sponsor,” says Vytautas Paunksnis. He asserts that this support is also symbolically important. According to the coach, the club encourages players to achieve career heights not only in sports but also in life. “We are delighted to see how our players’ careers develop – we urge them to find their calling and pursue higher education, which becomes a solid foundation in life,” says Vytautas Paunksnis.
Kazimieras Simonavicius University’s support of Dovilė Dockaitė and the Šešupė football club highlights the institution’s commitment to fostering the growth of its students both academically and athletically. This collaboration is a shining example of how educational institutions can play a vital role in the holistic development of their students, ensuring they achieve success in all areas of life.
On 27-28 May, Kazimieras Simonavicius University (KSU) hosted the 4th International Scientific Conference “Challenges to Modern Law: An International Perspective”. This annual event brought together legal professionals, scholars and students from 12 countries.
This year conference focused on the theoretical and practical problems of human rights, law and technology, legal education, discussed recent developments of the European Union law, and the peculiarities of the Ukrainian legal system in the context of the ongoing war.
According to the Rector of KSU, Prof. Dr. Jolanta Bieliauskaitė, this annual conference is an excellent opportunity to highlight the changes in contemporary law in the international area. “Scientific reflection on law and the legal system is of particular importance for the solution of constantly emerging legal challenges. Therefore, we are very pleased with the growing number of speakers each year. Diversity of topics reveals the latest trends in legal research, legal regulation and the application of law. We believe that the contacts established during the event will also inspire sharing of best practices and will contribute to the improvement of legal systems in different countries,” said the Rector.
