  • Vilnius University - The Information and PR Office produces a popular bi-annual science magazine SPECTRUM for 10 years already.Some of the articles are written by journalists, some - by scientists.The magazine is distributed to alumni, media, gymnasiums, libraries, public institutions. As a result, many articles appear in various popular media channels afterwards.University community is exceptionally positive about the magazine and they are eager to share their achievements in it. Apart from sincere gratitude for their input we present the authors with small presents – souvenirs and books.We see the SPECTRUM as an efficient instrument for the circulation of information about our achievements for our University community and beyond.
