The Lithuanian Academy of Sciences (LMA) and the Research Council of Lithuania (LMT) have released a new publication, "Science and Research Lithuania".

- The science system. Universities, research institutes, science and technology valleys and the main research fields.
- International links. Lithuania's participation in international research organisations, including CERN, EMBL and ELI ERIC, and opportunities in Horizon Europe.
- Areas of strength. Lasers and photonics, life sciences, biomedicine, information and communication technologies, advanced materials, environmental research, social sciences and humanities.
- Success stories. Among them the genome editing research of the group led by Prof. Virginijus Šikšnys at the Vilnius University Life Sciences Center.
- Funding. LMT funding instruments, doctoral and postdoctoral funding, and researcher mobility.
The publication presents LMA as an institution that brings the research community together, provides expertise and strengthens the dialogue between science and society.
