Under the plan, Lithuania should have one classical university offering a wide range of studies in Vilnius and Kaunas each. The two cities may also have specialized technological, health sciences and arts universities.
It is also proposed to keep regional university-level education and science centers in Klaipėda and Šiauliai. These centers could function as units of other universities.
The plan is called a compromise as specific instructions on how universities should be merged were removed from it after heated discussions in the Seimas and in academic communities.
