\nProject summary<\/strong>: The objectives of the Kauno kolegija Strategic Action Plan are in line with the priorities of the European Research Area, but their implementation requires institutional changes. In order to create a sustainable knowledge and innovation ecosystem at the Kauno kolegija, to achieve the quality of research and development and to increase the dissemination of scientific knowledge, it is important to create the conditions for participation in national and\/or international competitive R&D\/arts projects and to create an environment conducive to the international TMTEP research. This requires partnerships with higher education institutions in Europe and beyond, with which there are common interests in developing not only student and faculty mobility, but also high quality cooperation in research, knowledge transfer, organisation and process management.
\nThe involvement of the Kauno kolegija in the BUSINET Global Higher Education Network (https:\/\/www.businet.org.uk) would make sense, as the network has an active special interest group dedicated to the development of international research cooperation among its member higher education institutions. The group formulates priority research areas, taking into account the interests and capacities of the researchers representing the higher education institutions. In collecting and disseminating information on research in BUSINET member institutions, research teams work on specific tasks related to research leading to scientific publications. Other interest groups in BUSINET in the fields of business and entrepreneurship, tourism, ICT, STEM, law, communication, health sciences, etc. are in line with the interests of the Kauno kolegija research groups. In addition, participation in BUSINET provides suitable partners for project activities and international publicity of scientific achievements, as the network brings together about 150 higher education institutions, which are geographically well located not only in Europe but also in other countries of the world.
\nThe project is implemented under the measure “Membership of science and associated business structures in international networks” administered by the Research Council of Lithuania.

\nProject summary<\/strong>: <\/span>One of the most important long-term strategic goals of the European Union and Lithuanian Energy is the efficient use of energy resources and energy. As a socially responsible organization, Kauno kolegija HEI (KUAS) purposefully strives to use its existing infrastructure as rationally and efficiently as possible. Most of the academic buildings of KUAS have already been renovated, but due to the need for significant investments and the lack of funding sources, no dormitory of KUAS has been completely renovated so far. Dormitory no. 4, located at Kalnie\u010di\u0173 st. 126, Kaunas (hereinafter – the Building), built in 1961 and it does not meet the current energy efficiency requirements – high wear and tear of the Building substantially complicates the thermal comfort of the Building. And although the heating point in the Building has been renovated, significant heat losses are experienced through the uninsulated facade walls of the Building, the attic floor and foundations, and leaky windows. The energy efficiency class of the Building is low – F. Therefore, it is appropriate to renovate (modernize) the building, improving its energy performance.
\n<\/span>During the project, it is planned to replace the windows, insulate the exterior and basement walls, the attic floor and plinth, and clean the ventilation ducts, as well as repair the common staircases.
\n<\/span>The aim of the project is to renovate the dormitory No. 4 of KUAS, located at Kalnie\u010di\u0173 st. 126, Kaunas and to achieve the energy efficiency class B.
\n<\/span>Following the implementation of these measures, it is planned to achieve the energy efficiency class of the Building – B. The final energy consumption in the renovated Building is expected to decrease by approximately 40%. The building itself will meet the current energy efficiency requirements and will improve the indoor microclimate and living environment, the thermal energy savings will lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide (the gas causing the Greenhouse Effect) emissions and changes in air pollution.
\n<\/span>The project is implemented in accordance with the 2014-2020 Operational Program for the European Union Funds Investments in Lithuania Priority 4 \u201cPromoting Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Production and Use\u201d under Measure 04.3.1-VIPA-T-113 \u201cRenovation of State-Owned Buildings (II)\u201d, and under Measure 04.3.1-FM-F-105 “Increasing Energy Efficiency in Public Infrastructure”.

As a socially responsible organization, Kauno kolegija HEI (KUAS) purposefully strives to use its existing infrastructure as rationally and efficiently as possible. Majority of the academic buildings of KUAS have already been renovated; however, the situation remains bad in in the academic building, located at Puod\u017ei\u0173 st. 11, Kaunas (unique number of the building – 1997-6013-2012) (hereinafter – Building). The Building was built in 1976 and it does not meet the current energy efficiency requirements: high wear and tear of the Building substantially complicates the thermal comfort. The external walls, the roof and most of the windows of the Building are in poor condition, leading to a lot of heat loss. The energy efficiency class of the building is low – F. It is becoming increasingly difficult to provide comfortable conditions for students and teachers in the building.
\n<\/span>During the project, it is planned to replace windows and doors, insulate exterior and basement walls and roof.
\n<\/span>The aim of the project is to renovate the academic building of KUAS, located at Puod\u017ei\u0173 st. 11, Kaunas and to achieve the energy efficiency class C.
\n<\/span>The implementation of the planned energy efficiency measures will lead to the achievement of the energy efficiency class C. It is planned that the final energy consumption of the renovated Building will decrease by approximately 48%, the Building itself will meet current energy efficiency requirements, indoor microclimate conditions and study environment, the thermal energy savings will lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide (the gas causing the Greenhouse Effect) emissions and changes in air pollution.

\nProject summary: <\/b>The Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art study programme of the Kauno kolegija Faculty of Arts and Education, is the only one of its kind in Lithuania that aims to become an active participant in heritage conservation activities. The programme, which includes conservation and restoration of works of art, restoration of artistic furniture, conservation and restoration of metalwork, not only helps to preserve endangered cultural heritage objects, but also improves the image of the country in the context of the European Union.
\nIt is important to create appropriate modern technical conditions for studying and working when training specialists for scientific activities, for work in public and private cultural and historical institutions, or for the establishment of individual enterprises engaged in the conservation and restoration of works of art. The acquisition of new equipment is essential for the activities of the Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art study programme. In the conservation and restoration of cultural property, it is important to determine the composition, structure and technique of the materials used.
\nThe lack of equipment currently available limits the possibilities for scientific and artistic research: the existing equipment does not allow spectroscopic screening of organic and mineral samples (e.g. various oxides) for identification against standard spectra, nor does it allow qualitative assessment of the elemental composition of the material, which is essential for the analysis of the composition of the material and for the assessment of the state of the objects being conserved. At the same time, the existing equipment does not allow for image archiving of the samples, the creation of a database, which is important for the collection of visual material and for further scientific research
\nThe project will provide for the acquisition of new equipment to allow for more detailed and accurate analyses.
\nThe new equipment will help current and future professionals to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to work in scientific or cultural institutions, public and private companies. The equipment will enable detailed chemical and physical analyses, the identification and characterisation of the origin of materials, the accurate dating of works, the identification of the materials used, which will encourage the pursuit of new scientific knowledge, the development of restoration techniques or the selection of appropriate materials, and the bridging of the gap between practice and theory. The renewal and addition of such equipment will not only improve the quality of research, but will also enhance Lithuania’s image in the field of cultural heritage conservation in the context of the European Union.

\nProject summary: <\/b>During the project, the student and the researcher will carry out an individual research project in the autumn and spring semesters on the topic “The value created for organisations by robotic process automation” (the “Research”). The aim of the Research is to determine the benefits (value) created by robotically automated administrative processes for organisations operating in Lithuania. The study will assess how the transformation of manual (technical) administrative work into a robotically automated process has changed the performance of the organisation, i.e. what value this type of automation has created for the organisation (e.g. potential cost reductions, redirection of human resources to higher value-adding processes, etc.). The results will allow organisations to justify potential investments in back-office automation to improve the performance of the organisation. This will contribute to a more efficient management of organisations’ business processes in the context of digital transformation. The research findings will be presented and disseminated at a student scientific conference and a scientific paper will be prepared. This project research also aims to improve the students’ research competences in applied research and, at the same time, to provide the student with deeper competences in the field of process management in the context of robotic automation in the context of digital transformation.

\nProject summary<\/strong>: The aim of the project is to develop a methodology for the assessment of wear of wood-plastic composite cutting tools, to investigate the influence of technological factors on their wear intensity and the effect of tool blade wear on the quality of machined surfaces.
\nWood-plastic composites (WPC) are a relatively recently developed structural material made of wood fibres and thermoplastics (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride or others). In addition to wood fibres and plastics, WPC contains ligno-cellulose, i.e. raw materials from renewable resources. Recycled plastics and industrial organic waste are used to produce WPC. As wood-plastic composites are significantly more resistant to environmental influences than solid wood, their importance will only increase. However, these materials have new physico-chemical properties that specifically affect the cutting process and the tool used to cut wood or plastic. The wear of a tool cutting wood or plastic is not similar to the wear of a tool cutting WPC. In order to minimise the cost of cutting wood-plastic composites, studies on cutting tool designs and cutting parameters are needed.

\n<\/span>Project summary<\/strong>: The aim of the project is to improve the qualifications of people working with people with disabilities by introducing a form of integrated sport. The initiated project is in line with the internal strategic documents of the Republic of Lithuania in the field of sports policy management and contributes to the common goals. The program of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania enshrines the goal of providing adapted services to people with special needs by allocating funding for the training of people working with disabilities, and by promoting the implementation of programs and projects aimed at the most vulnerable target groups: the disabled. The project directly responds to the National Progress Program for 2014-2020, the overall goal of which is to improve the quality of life, strengthen social cohesion and ensure equal opportunities for all, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Physical infrastructure is a fundamental condition for the development of cultural services. However, available human resources severely limit the ability to provide high quality services. Therefore, it is necessary to modernize all segments of this network and improve the qualification of employees.<\/span>
\nThis project will have a direct impact on the qualifications of people working with people with disabilities, thus increasing the modernization, attractiveness and quality of their activities for local communities. It is hoped that the implementation of this project will create conditions for improving the quality of life of people with disabilities and will contribute to the participation of various society groups in physical activities. The Lithuanian Health Program 2014\u20132025 talks about prevention programs aimed at avoiding possible injuries. Following the implementation of the project, sports clubs and organizations will employ trained staff who will contribute to this goal.<\/span>
\nIn order to achieve the set goal, the following tasks are set:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To organize integrated sports trainings in different Lithuanian cities, training 80 participants.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. To organize integrated basketball and football competitions in Lithuania.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Expected results:<\/span>
    \nThe project provides theoretical and practical training, to which coaches and employees of sports clubs\/organizations for the disabled will be invited. Training in five different Lithuanian cities (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaip\u0117da, \u0160iauliai, Marijampol\u0117) will ensure the development of integrated sports not only in a particular city and will allow most disabled people to participate in training closer to their place of residence. One-day training is planned for 8 hours. The training is divided into two parts – theoretical (introducing the peculiarities of integrated sports, the uniqueness of working with the disabled and healthy people at the same time, and methodologies) and practical (playing integrated football and basketball, revealing the subtleties of integrated sports). The trainings will be led by 2 lecturers of Kauno kolegija HEI. During the practical classes, they will be assisted by 4 volunteer students of Sports Management study program of Kauno kolegija HEI. After completing the integrated sports training and having a group of people who understand the subtleties of integrated football and integrated basketball games, integrated sports competitions will be organized in different Lithuanian cities (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaip\u0117da, \u0160iauliai, Marijampol\u0117). The organization of the competition will allow to feel the competitive atmosphere of the integrated sports teams – 2 teams in each city, a total of 10 teams, at least 7 people in each. It is likely that this will significantly promote the popularization of integrated sports throughout Lithuania.<\/span>
