As part of the ERASMUS+ programme, BIA Associate Professor and Ph.D. iur. Irina Gaft paid a working visit last week to the European Humanities University in Vilnius (Lithuania).
I. Gafta had the honor of giving an interview in which she spoke about the academy, herself, and her work. She also offered valuable advice to students, encouraging them not to fear new challenges, to take advantage of Erasmus+ opportunities, to remain goal-oriented, and to move confidently toward their dreams.
I.Gafta’s lectures on the regulation of insolvency processes within EU countries sparked significant interest and active engagement among the students.
Several meetings took place with representatives of the university’s Erasmus+ program, including Ingrida Danieli-Žalimienė, Head of the Department of Social Sciences; research coordinator Vera Belchikova, Natalia Leanovich and staff from the Alumni Center. The discussions focused on current challenges in higher education, emerging trends, and future opportunities for collaboration. Particular attention was paid to strengthening academic and research cooperation-for instance, by involving researchers from the host university in international conferences organized by our own institution. The parties also explored the possibility of organizing joint thematic seminars, guest lectures, and knowledge-exchange events for both faculty and students. These discussions represent a significant step toward developing new areas of cooperation and reinforcing the existing partnership, laying the groundwork for a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship in the future.
