The Governing Board of EHU welcomes constructive outcomes of the Government’s consultations, addressing further operations of the Belarusian University in Exile in Vilnius. EHU leadership will submit an application to Lithuanian authorities for the new higher education license.
“After the intense and constructive consultations with the Lithuanian authorities, the Governing Board acknowledges that today’s decision has been reached through a joint effort. We were assured that EHU’s application for the new license will be swiftly considered and thus the University will be able to continue operations in Vilnius. I am pleased that the Government suggested that the Ministry of Education and Science together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Eastern Europe Studies Centre will strengthen cooperation in the field of EHU’s research activities” – says Chair of the Governing Board Per Carlsen.
In order to settle the University status in Lithuania, in early January EHU leadership submitted a roadmap proposal to the Ministry of Education and Science, featuring an action plan for implementation of the recommendations of the institutional evaluation report.
