The first Lithuania-Japan Science Forum took place in Tokyo, bringing together over 100 participants – scientists, business representatives, and policymakers from both countries.
Among the Lithuanian delegates were FTMC Director Prof. Dr Ramūnas Skaudžius and Deputy Director for Innovation and Development Dr Reda Nausedaitė. We are proud that our Center actively contributes to the international dialogue on cutting-edge research and innovation.
"Highlights included visits to RIKEN and JAXA, as well as exploring the EXPO - each experience reaffirming that FTMC is on the right path. From laser technologies, semiconductors, plastics, to defense and space-related research, it's clear that our work resonates globally and sparks strong interest," says Skaudžius.
