Last week, Kazimieras Simonavicius University’s Head of the Business Innovation & Communication School, Deimantė Žilinskienė, attended the Riga Aviation Forum 2024.

D. Žilinskienė shared her valuable insights during the panel discussion “Employment and Education” alongside renowned aviation and academic experts: Ivan Berazhny, Iluta Savicka, Ilmars Blumbergs, and Kristaps Lapsa.

“There is a significant demand for aviation specialists across all areas of aviation, yet a considerable shortage. I believe we must promote this industry more, and that requires joint efforts from both academia and industry partners. I genuinely believe that aviation education should be focused and adaptable to different types of learners, as there are many opportunities to contribute and build careers in this field. In addition to excellence, innovation, I think that integrity, diversity, and inclusivity at their best should become core values in our teaching and learning” said D. Žilinskienė.

The Riga Aviation Forum brings together European and Baltic aviation stakeholders, leaders, and experts to discuss the future of aviation. The forum highlights strategic developments and innovations aimed at creating a more sustainable and climate-neutral aviation industry.
