While trying to be actively involved in the EU initiatives in the field of science and education, to ensure a proper place and role in development of knowledge economy, to react towards globalisation and internationalisation processes, Mykolas Romeris University promotes scientific research work. It forms favourable assumptions for the scientific research to be linked with the study process.

The researchers perform their work in different trends of the social sciences. Analysis of the economic development and its perspective is carried out in the Faculty of Economics and Finance Management  under the research trend “Strengthening of Lithuanian Economic Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Social Cohesions”. With the goal to enrich knowledge about changing quantitative and qualitative characteristics of human resources and to create assumptions based on scientific knowledge in order to modernize social policy, the Faculty of Social Policy develops the research “Development of Human Resources: Challenges for Social Policy”. Effective public administration plays an increasingly important role in the creation of modern and competitive state, therefore the Faculty of Public Administration promotes research “Effective Public Administration” and investigates how values and understandings embedded within state governance structure influence effective public administration. Faculty of Law promotes rule of law under research “Rule of Law and Social Cohesion in the XXI Century”, where the rule of law is seen a a legal institution that guarantees cooperation and cohesion of different society groups. During the last decade, multilevel governance and sustainable development became competitive concepts of social research, therefore the Faculty of Strategic Management and Policy continues to develop these ideas under research “ Multilevel Governance”.
