On 29 January, the Rector of Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) and President of the Lithuanian University Rectors’ Conference, Prof. Dr. Inga Žalėnienė, received the Ambassador of Lithuania, Lina Antanavičienė. The meeting focused on cooperation with the Republic of Korea in the fields of research and higher education, as well as preparations for Lithuania’s Presidency of the Council of Europe in 2027.

Prof. Dr. Inga Žalėnienė presented MRU’s cooperation with partners in South Korea and emphasized that the study of Korean culture is consistently integrated into the University’s study programmes.

The first King Sejong Institute (KSI) in the Baltic States was established at Mykolas Romeris University. For more than a decade, it has been successfully teaching Korean language and culture. The Institute has become an important platform for students wishing to deepen their knowledge of South Korea and has contributed to cultural dialogue between the two countries. This year, more than 300 students graduated from KSI.

Since 2014, MRU has been cooperating with Dongseo University (DSU) in Busan. The partnership includes double degree programmes in Game Development and Digital Animation, as well as Digital Media Design.

This year, 55 students from South Korea are enrolled in the joint programmes, and an additional 10 students have arrived under exchange programmes. Faculty exchange has also been taking place for many years.
