Faculty of Environmental Engineering
The Faculty of Environmental Engineering at VILNIUS TECH carries out activities corresponding to the level of science and studies of the best technical universities in European countries, attractive to Lithuanian and foreign researchers and students.The multidisciplinary approach of scientific research carried out at the faculty integrates principles of engineering, science, policy and management to create sustainable solutions to the world's most pressing environmental problems.Faculty researchers expand the boundaries of knowledge and innovation. The research areas range from reducing the impact of climate change to the use of secondary raw materials in road construction.
Faculty researchers lead and conduct innovative research that contributes to the scientific understanding of environmental processes and supports evidence-based decision-making.We are proud to educate the next generation of engineering leaders through comprehensive degree programs. Our bachelor’s (undergraduate) and master’s (graduate) degree programs are designed to equip students with the technical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and ethical understanding needed to solve complex engineering and technical problems. Whether through hands-on lab experiences, fieldwork opportunities or projects, we empower our students to become agents of positive change.The Sustainability HUB was established in 2023 at the Faculty of Environmental Engineering. It is a place that combines education, business and science.
SUSTAIN HUB LABORATORIES AND WORKSHOP
- Solving sustainability problems using data generation, processing and modeling of different origins (Data Modeling Areas)
- Sustainable food consumption and waste recycling (Sustainable Consumption Experimental Demonstration Area)
- Secondary and multiple use and recycling of materials for the creation of new product prototypes (Eco design zone)
- Open theoretical and practical learning zones have been established in the laboratory, promoting the cooperation of individuals participating in different projects, training streams and challenge solving groups, interdisciplinary learning and ensuring the conditions for continuous hybrid learning in each zone
