We invite you to the virtual Thermo Fisher Scientific Science Day!
On 10th of November the traditional Thermo Fisher Scientific Science Day event will take place. This year, we invite you to meet virtually – you will hear the latest reports from researchers from a virtual audience and, what is very important, we will have the opportunity to communicate, ask questions and share ideas. Also, everyone interested will be able to hear about career opportunities Thermo Fisher Scientific offers.

Program
Some of events will be only in Lithuanian, so follow the program timeline!
For students interested in environmental protection – an inclusive practice
International consortium TWIN-PEAKS and Vytautas Magnus University Energy Security Research Center are organizing two month pratice (October-November) during which you will have the opportunity to gain experience in working with experts in this field. Participants will work on an authentic task (theme and methodology of which will have to be coordinated with organizers beforehand), which can be done both individually and in groups. During the internship, you will have the opportunity to develop competences in the application of methodology as well as data collection and analysis, or to undertake a unique experiment or even test yourself in the role of influencer. We will celebrate the end of the internship by announcing achievements and aiming for changes in the final event. During the internship, a business trip to one of the Lithuanian hot-spots (for example, a cogeneration power plant or a waste sorting center) will be organized. Participants who have completed an internship will be awarded a participant certificate issued on behalf of the international consortium TWIN- PEAKS (see https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/951308).
The aim of the internship is to promote the student’s involvement in the implementation of the EU Green Deal policy by including problem-solving modules and teaching to form colaborative alliances among representatives of science, business and civil society.
Application are expected until September 25th.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Nominal Scholarship Competition 2021-2021
“Thermo Fisher Scientific Baltics” UAB in cooperation with Vytautas Magnus University invites 1-year masters students from VDU Faculty of Natural Sciences to prepare Master final thesis at the Company.
Favorite students selected to prepare Master final thesis at the Company will receive Thermo Fisher Scientific Baltics nominal scholarship of 1.800 Eur per single academic year. VDU students who prepare the final thesis at the Company for two academic years and if study results do not worsen, are entitled for a second-year scholarship, therefore total scholarship would amount to 3.600 Eur. This nominal scholarship does not impact students’ chances to receive other scholarships from the State, “Thermo Fisher Scientific Baltics” or other.
Applicants’ Bachelor final thesis (or exams) and Main study field subjects weighted average grades must be no less than 8 to qualify for the Scholarship competition.
First year Master students must submit applications for the competition by September 27, 2021
Students must submit following documents:
- Curriculum vitae (CV);
- Motivational letter, also indicating preferred research areas;
- Copy of Bachelor studies diploma and its supplement;
- Copy of Secondary school graduation diploma;
- Copy of other achievements, such as scientific and/or social activities (e.g. participations in scientific competitions, tournaments and other);
- Recommendation from VDU Faculty or Employer would be additional benefit.
Applications should be submitted via VDU AIS address dek@gmf.vdu.lt titled “Thermo Fisher Scientific nominal scholarship”.
Questions regarding this competition should be addressed to “Thermo Fisher Scientific” representative – Saulius Burbulis saulius.burbulis@thermofisher.com, tel. +370 640 68532 or VDU representative – Migle Razgunaite migle.razgunaite@vdu.lt, tel. 8 37 327 905.
