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. \n<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source of funding: <\/span><\/strong>Recovery and resilience-building measures under the Next Generation Lithuania plan and the state budget of the Republic of Lithuania.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Development of a gender equality plan and implementation of gender equality and equal opportunities measures to change the organisational culture of Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution” css=””] <\/p>\n \n\n\nProject number<\/strong>: 10-040-T-0010<\/span> \nPeriod<\/strong>: 01 04 2024 \u2013 30 09 2025<\/span><\/td>\nResponsible department at Kauno kolegija HEI:<\/strong> \nStrategic Planning and Quality Management Unit \n<\/span>Coordinating person at Kauno kolegija HEI:<\/strong> \n<\/span>Kristina Adomaitien\u0117 \n<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nProject coordinating institution<\/strong>: Kauno kolegija HEI<\/span> \nProject summary<\/strong>: The aim of the project is to remove institutional barriers to gender equality in the working environment, to create an inclusive, gender equality and diversity-friendly organisational culture at Kauno kolegija, to increase employee satisfaction, thus improving the Kauno kolegija efficiency and contributing to the European Commission’s Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. \nThe project will develop a Kauno kolegija Gender Equality Plan which will integrally complement the Kauno kolegija Equal Opportunities and Diversity Programme with measures to ensure gender equality, to reduce gender stereotypes, to promote gender equality and inclusion of employees, to create an organisational environment that is not conducive to violence, harassment and discrimination of all kinds, and to increase employee satisfaction, thereby improving the Kauno kolegija operational efficiency and contributing to the achievement of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. \nThe project will contribute to EMEA Action 5 – Promote gender equality and inclusiveness in line with the Ljubljana Declaration. \nThe project is implemented within the framework of the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport of the Republic of Lithuania’s Science Development Programme Progress Measure No 12-001-01-02-01 “Strengthening Innovation Ecosystems in Science Centres”, which focuses on the implementation of the priorities of the European Research Area in order to achieve institutional change.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source of funding: <\/span><\/strong>European Union NextGenerationEU programme funds<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Increasing the scientific potential of Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution and improving the evaluation of scientific output by optimising the management of information relevant to researchers” css=””] <\/p>\n \n\n\nProject number<\/strong>: 10-040-T-0007<\/span> \nPeriod<\/strong>: 01 03 2024 \u2013 31 08 2025<\/span><\/td>\nResponsible department at Kauno kolegija HEI:<\/strong> \nUnit for Applied Science and Commercialisation \n<\/span>Coordinating person at Kauno kolegija HEI:<\/strong> \n<\/span>Mindaugas Samuolaitis \n<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nProject coordinating institution<\/strong>: Kauno kolegija HEI<\/span> \nProject summary<\/strong>: The main goal of the project is to strengthen the potential of Kauno kolegija of Applied Science and Arts to achieve a systematic breakthrough in this field not only in Lithuania but also at the EU level. \nThe project aims to develop an information system that will help to properly systematize, analyse and evaluate information related to the development of the ecosystem of implementation and evaluation of scientific and artistic activities.
