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.
