Over EUR 20 mln envisaged for foreign research projects in Lithuania

The Lithuanian Research Council has published a call for applications. The Education and Science Ministry said this was done in an effort to attract 50 researchers to Lithuania.

“Lithuania already features a high level of an international research infrastructure, research centers are supplied with a modern research equipment, our researchers are conducted top-level research in cooperation with colleagues from prestigious research institutions abroad. We want to consolidate our research even further and attract Lithuanians back to their home country and prominent foreign researchers to Lithuania to bring new winds and build a strong nucleus of research in the country,” Education and Science Minister Jurgita Petrauskienė said.
