📢 Reminder for all EU-CONEXUS teachers and pupi 📢 Reminder for all EU-CONEXUS teachers and pupils!

We are pleased to remind you that registrations for the EU-CONEXUS School Contest “Think Smart, Create Green” are open until 28 November 2025 (23:59 CET).

This exciting competition invites pupils to think creatively and critically about sustainability and innovation in coastal urban environments — the very essence of Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability #SmUCS.

Here are just a few reasons why your participation matters:

🔹The contest aims to raise awareness among pupils about sustainability, coastal and urban ecosystems, and circular economy principles, while strengthening their sense of responsibility toward the environment.
🔹It serves as a bridge between secondary education and university life, encouraging pupils to explore STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and potential career paths related to them.
🔹Participants gain valuable educational and personal benefits — critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, public speaking, and international communication skills — as well as a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship, innovation, and civic engagement.
🔹 For teachers, the contest is an opportunity to collaborate across disciplines, develop project management skills, and engage with innovative teaching methods in connection with the EU-CONEXUS Alliance’s broader academic and research initiatives.
🔹The competition theme — circular economy, environmental sustainability, and innovative solutions for coastal-urban communities — challenges students to turn their ideas into tangible contributions for a greener future.

🌍 By taking part in “Think Smart, Create Green,” pupils and teachers become active contributors to the transformation toward a sustainable society.

🗓 Deadline for registration: 28 November 2025

Don’t miss this opportunity! Register your team today, share your innovative ideas, and help build a smarter, greener future together! More info in comments section.

This week Klaipeda University hosted students of the EU-CONEXUS Minor in “Energy Transition in Shipping: LNG” programme.

Throughout the week, participants explored how innovation and sustainability shape the maritime industry — from lectures on energy transition to practical insights during visits to Klaipeda Seaport Authority and KN Energies. 

👋 At KN Energies, students were welcomed by Martynas Ambrozaitis, Head of FSRU “Independence” Operations, who introduced the company’s LNG activities and led an insightful tour of the Small-Scale LNG Terminal.

The programme, coordinated by Prof. Vytautas Paulauskas (KU), combined academic learning with hands-on experiences and cultural exchange — highlighting how collaboration between universities and industry fosters a more sustainable maritime future.

Here are a few moments from this inspiring week! #euconexus #europeauniversities #minorstudy #studies #students #internationalstudentlife #internationalstudies

“Yes – the Baltic Sea is sick. But painkillers “Yes – the Baltic Sea is sick. But painkillers won’t heal it,” says Sergej Suzdalev, senior researcher at @klaipedauniversity Marine Research Institute.

🐟🧫 We’ve all heard of microplastics in our seas by now, but research shows we have much more coming. Sergej is focusing on one such issue – invisible pollution caused by the residue of painkillers.

Used for everything from minor headaches to chronic pain, painkillers leave a trace not just in seawater but also in the fish that feed the local communities.

What if we could create change, together❓

This week, EU-CONEXUS was delighted to meet both new staff members and students at @univlarochelle 

👩‍🏫 For our new colleagues, we presented the wide range of opportunities offered through the alliance  from English courses and job shadowing experiences to research mobility programmes that foster collaboration across our European partner universities.

🎓 During the #Erasmus #Days, EU-CONEXUS joined the International Relations department to inform students about study mobilities within the Erasmus and EU-CONEXUS frameworks. Visitors discovered hundreds of destinations across Europe and beyond, and learned more about Erasmus internship grants supporting their international experiences.

🌐 EU-CONEXUS continues to connect and empower the La Rochelle Université community through shared learning, research, and mobility opportunities,  building a truly European University of the future.
