ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The ongoing crisis worldwide, such as the consequences of Covid-19, war, AI, Hybrid
work, worsening mental health, aging and diverse workplaces, and financial instability, require
new considerations by listening to various groups in society and combining science with useful
advanced practices.
The theme of the 2025 Symposium is dedicated to addressing the challenges that arise in
our rapidly changing world. Specifically, the symposium focuses on the difficulties individuals,
organizations and communities face in building resilience. We encourage discussions on mindful
living, education and employment through open dialogue among various people, such as educators,
employers, public sector representatives, and business leaders in the face of volatility, uncertainty,
and the complexities and ambiguities of modern life.

AIM OF THE SYMPOSIUM
In response to the challenges of the modern world, SMK College of Applied Sciences is
organizing this symposium to bring together academic communities from Lithuania and foreign
countries and representatives of science, policymakers and business leaders. The aim is to address
the problems of societal interactions and rethink modern issues.
