«We’re building a European University», - Arturas Razbadauskas, rector of Klaipeda University

Congratulations to Arturas Razbadauskas, rector of Klaipeda University on his re-election. Arturas is doing a great job in developing international scientific and educational ties including between Lithuania and Ukraine. Lithuania, like Klaipėda University in general, is the key for Ukrainian scientific institutions to many projects in the EU.

KU sets itself an ambitious goal of becoming the leader of universities in the Baltic region. In the world of science, the qualification and reputation of marine researchers working at KU is reflected in the Shanghai Ranking (Academic Ranking of World Universities): in accordance with it, KU is among 200 universities in the world best in the area of oceanographic sciences.

Every year, 3,000 bachelors, masters, and doctoral students study at KU. Over the three decades, close to 40,000 graduates have completed their studies here: teachers, business managers, politicians, and civil servants, scientists, nurses, radiologists, journalists, and others.

In 2019, Klaipeda University became a member of the EU-CONEXUS, an alliance of universities in Europe. The specialism of EU-CONEXUS representing nine partners – universities from coastal cities in different European countries – is sustainable development of smart coastal cities. The result of the integration of science and study structures is that joint bachelor's and master's study programs are already underway, efforts have been united in scientific research of partner universities, new opportunities for the mobility of academic staff and students opened up, and new cultural and sports traditions are being developed.
