KUAIT and Vytautas Magnus University Sign Memorandum of Understanding on Academic Cooperation

21/08/2026

On 20 August 2026, LLC “Kyiv University of Aviation and Information Technologies” (KUAIT) and Vytautas Magnus University (VMU, Kaunas, Republic of Lithuania) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Academic Cooperation.

The Memorandum was signed on behalf of Vytautas Magnus University by Rector Prof. Ineta Dabašinskienė, and on behalf of Kyiv University of Aviation and Information Technologies by Rector Rimvidas Khrashchevskyi.

The signing of the Memorandum establishes an institutional framework for developing long-term partnership between the two universities, strengthening academic ties between Ukraine and Lithuania, and implementing joint initiatives in education, science, research and innovation.

The Memorandum provides for cooperation in a number of priority areas, including:

initiation, development and coordination of joint research and innovation activities;
establishment of joint research, development and innovation centres;
exchange of documentation and research materials in areas of mutual interest;
exchange of academic staff for teaching, competence development, training and collaborative research;
reciprocal support for visits by academic staff and students.

An important aspect of the agreement is its focus on the practical implementation of the areas of cooperation identified by the two universities. Specific joint educational, scientific, research and innovation projects may subsequently be implemented by the relevant faculties, schools, institutes and other structural units of the universities under separate agreements defining the terms and mechanisms for their implementation.

This approach enables the Parties to move consistently from a general institutional framework for cooperation towards specific joint projects, academic exchanges, collaborative research and other forms of partnership.

For Kyiv University of Aviation and Information Technologies, cooperation with Vytautas Magnus University represents an important step in strengthening international academic relations and expanding partnerships with European higher education institutions.

The new partnership creates additional opportunities for KUAIT academic staff, researchers and students, promotes the exchange of academic experience, supports the development of international mobility, and facilitates the formation of joint research teams and the implementation of promising scientific and innovation initiatives.

Particular importance is attached to combining the academic, scientific and research potential of the two universities in areas of mutual interest, as well as to developing new formats of cooperation between their respective structural units.

The Memorandum does not create financial obligations for either university. The implementation of specific projects will depend on the availability of the necessary resources and, where required, will be governed by separate agreements between the Parties.

The document also establishes general principles concerning intellectual property, confidentiality and the protection of personal data in the implementation of joint activities and projects.

The Memorandum has been concluded for a period of five years.

Kyiv University of Aviation and Information Technologies highly values the partnership established with Vytautas Magnus University and looks forward to developing it through concrete educational, scientific and innovation projects.

The signing of the Memorandum marks another important step in KUAIT’s continued integration into the European Higher Education and Research Area, the development of international academic cooperation, and the creation of new opportunities for the University community.
