  2. Saulėtekis (Sunrise) Valley at Vilnius -1

  3. Saulėtekis (Sunrise) Valley at Vilnius - 2 • Vilnius university– largestandoldestLithuanianuniversity, listedinTimesHigherEducation QS WorldClassUniversityranking • Mainstateresearchinstitutesinphysicalandlifesciences • Mostofthestrongestscientificgroups(21 outof 32, asidentifiedby Centre forQualityAssessmentinHigherEducation) inthefieldofphysical, biomedicalandtechnologicalsciences • Numberofspin-off’sgeneratedduringlastyears(Profarma, „Šviesos Konversija“, „Altechna“, „Hortiled“, „Teravil“, „OPS“, „Bitas“, „BalticAmadeus“, TEV, VTEX, „Tikslieji prietaisai“, „Optida“)

  4. SunriseCampus • The biggest science and studies concentration in Baltic; the area of 156 ha (62 ha reserved for valley development); • 20 000 Vilnius University and Vilnius Technical University students, scientists, teachers (including 750 scientist and researchers); • 2,4 ha (two land plots of 1,8 ir 0,6 ha) reserved for business support infrastructure development

  5. Saulėtekio (Sunrise) ValleyProjects • Sunrise Valley Science and Technology Park Development, I Phase -- IMPLEMENTED • National Center for Scientific Communication, under implementation • Development of Vilnius University Laser Research Centre: “Naglis” • Development of Civil Engineering Centre of the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University • Establishment of National Centre of Physical and Technological Sciences

  6. Strategic goal and objectives • strategic goal - to develop the scientific integration of Europe and to strengthen its international outreach, to ensure open access to high quality research infrastructure, to attract the best researchers from around the world. • Objectives • To develop a common infrastructure of Vilnius University and the Centre of Physical and Technological Sciences; • To reinforce laser and light technology R&D facilities; • To reinforce material science and nanotechnology, semiconductor physics and electronics R&D facilities.
