💃 Last week @setuireland celebrated the #arts and #humanities at the Sustainability in the Arts festival. This cross-campus collaboration celebrates creativity and aims to answer the Sustainable Development Goals through innovation and artistry.

🤩 The week of creativity culminated in the EU-CONEXUS Dance Project being hosted at #SETU. Dancer and choreographer @jennifermacavinta joined an enthusiast group of staff and students at the @setu_arena_

🌊 The movement phrase inspired by Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability was beautifully adapted and performed by the group. A big thank you to Jennifer and the entire group of performers who embraced this opportunity. The baton is now passed to @university.of.zadar and we look forward to seeing the project progress.

We were also delighted to host colleagues from @univlarochelle who immersed themselves fully in the activities at #SETU. We look forward to further collaborations through #EUCONEXUS

🎉 We’re delighted to announce the opening of the Methodical STEAM Centre at @klaipedauniversity ! 🚀 This cutting-edge laboratory complex, nestled within the historic grounds of our academic campus, is poised to enhance education for students and educators alike.

🔬 The opening of the KU Methodological STEAM Centre is a significant milestone, as it signifies the inauguration of the first of three methodological centres in Lithuania. Equipped with specialised facilities such as biology-chemistry, physics-engineering, robotics-IT, and marine laboratories, complemented by the state-of-the-art FabLab digital manufacturing technology space, it stands as a beacon of innovation and discovery.

🌊 Under the expert guidance, students from grades 7-12 will embark on a journey of exploration, conducting research in biology and chemistry, probing the depths of physical phenomena, tackling engineering challenges, and utilising 3D printing to bring their ideas to life. They’ll also have the opportunity to engage with robotics, delve into marine life studies, address scientific challenges related to our oceans, and create solutions for a sustainable future! 🌟 #steam #science #steamscience #opening #steamcentre #europeanuniversities

On Friday #EUCONEXUS Students from @unirostock had a chance to meet the crew from the @save.the.baltic.sea expedition one month into their 6,000 km hike around the Baltic Sea. On 11 March they took off from near @klaipedauniversity in Lithuania, raising awareness for some of the critical environmental and pollution issues in the Baltic through educational events, discussions and workshops along the way. Did you know that the Baltic Sea is amongst the world’s top five most polluted seas? 🌊

On occasion of the visit of the #SaveTheBalticSea delegation to Warnemünde (Rostock), the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), together with the State Office for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Geology (LUNG) and the @eucc.deutschland , invited to a marine science day “StrandVision”, including a beach clean-up and a workshop on climate adaptation strategies with about 90 participants. 🙌

Mirco Haseler (IOW) & Dennis Gräwe (LUNG) gave a brief introduction to marine litter research to all participants: During the 45min clean-up on a 100m stretch of well-maintained beach, a shocking 530+ cigarette butts were found, along with 110+ plastic fireworks pieces and plenty of other small waste! 🤯

Thank you for having us, #IOW! And best of luck to the hikers! We look forward to following your journey under the motto “Let’s raise waves of change and unite for a healthier sea!”
