Governance

The EHU has an international Governing Board responsible for the strategic direction, finances, and effective functioning of the University. Academic staff and students serve on the Senate, a self-governing body which ensures the quality of education and research.

The annual General Assembly of Part-Owners brings together the organizations that re-established the EHU in Vilnius.

For more than 15 years, EHU has been led by Rector Anatoli Mikhailov, a highly respected academician on German philosophy. One of the founders of EHU in Minsk in 1992, he sought to build an alternative to the system of education inherited from the Soviet Union. After the closure of the EHU in Minsk, Prof. Mikhailov has not returned to his home country.

The Rector is assisted by an international, multicultural leadership team responsible for cross-border management in the spheres of academic affairs, administration and infrastructure, and development and international relations.

The University is guided by a Strategic Plan for 2008-2013.
