DESCRIPTION
The 21st International Conference of Young Scientists on Energy and Natural Sciences Issues (CYSENI 2025) is an annual event initiated and organised by the Lithuanian Energy Institute and brought to life with the support of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, RTO Lithuania, and many other valued collaborators. The conference will be held in the venue of the Lithuanian Energy Institute in Kaunas, Lithuania (Breslaujos str. 3), from 20 to 22 May 2025.
CYSENI is a free-of-charge scientific event aimed at young researchers and professionals from Europe and worldwide working in the fields of energy and environmental sciences. Participation in CYSENI will provide a well-established platform for undergraduate, MSc and PhD students, postdocs, entrant engineers, and other young scientists to present their latest research, develop presentation skills, build valuable contacts, and forge durable scientific relationships.
This year’s CYSENI conference proudly continues its tradition as we celebrate its 21st edition! CYSENI covers a broad spectrum of topics, fostering multidisciplinary discussions and offering excellent opportunities for the exchange of innovative ideas and potential collaborations.

On November 26, 2024, the experts meeting of the project “Ice-jam flood risk management in Latvian and Lithuanian regions with respect to climate change” (ICEREG) took place at Bauska Castle. The meeting focused on the impact of climate change on ice-jam floods, presented the results of climate and hydrological modeling, and discussed the development of the conceptual model, data analysis methods, and flood risk mapping. Experts also reviewed future tasks to ensure the achievement of the project objectives.
The Project is funded by the European Union’s Interreg VI-A Latvia–Lithuania Programme 2021–2027

Scientists from the Center for Hydrogen Energy Technologies of the Lithuanian Energy Institute, Dr. Šarūnas Varnagiris, Dr. Marius Urbonavičius, and Dr. Darius Milčius, are participating in Europe’s leading event dedicated to the development of hydrogen energy — the European Hydrogen Week, taking place on November 18–22.
At the joint Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian stand, the LEI research activities related to hydrogen energy were presented. The stand attracted representatives of institutions from around the world interested in hydrogen technologies. During the event, new connections were established, potentially contributing to the implementation of future projects.
On November 7, 2024, the Lithuanian Energy Institute hosted guests from TĂĽrkiye as part of the collaborative development project “Collaborative TĂĽrkiye-Lithuania Missions as a Learning and Networking Tool to Address Climate Change Challenges” (TLM-3C). Project aim – to strengthen the capacities of local authorities in TĂĽrkiye and develop cooperation between local authorities, science and business in TR-LT through missions on climate change.
Representatives from LEI, along with Serdar Karaduman (KENT-LAB, project lead partner), Vahap Sevim (Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality), Yeşim Esen (Çiğli Municipality), and Assistant Professor Ufuk Özkan (İzmir KÇ University), discussed aspects of energy efficiency and visited LEI laboratories.
3 October, 2024. The conference “New nuclear projects in different European countries” organised by the Lithuanian Nuclear Energy Association (LBEA) took place in KTU Santaka Valley. The conference was attended by about 100 participants, including a large number of LEI scientists working in the field of nuclear energy and related areas.
The conference was opened by LBEA President Osvaldas ÄŚiukšys. Welcoming remarks were made by Leonas BalaševiÄŤius, Director of the KTU Science Department, and Saulius GudĹľius, Director of the Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI – conference partner).
The President of the European Nuclear Society, Stefano Monti, joined remotely to deliver a welcome address and a general presentation on the situation of the European nuclear sector.
Presentations on nuclear energy development programmes and ongoing or planned projects in their countries were given by representatives of European countries from Poland, France, Estonia, Hungary, Finland, Italy, Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
The agenda of the conference, as well as the conference proceedings, will be posted on the LBEA website (www.lbea.lt).
On October 4, LEI Director Saulius Gudžius and Lindain Engineering CEO Vytas Maciūnas signed a contract for the provision of engineering services.
The U.S.-based company Lindain Engineering has been specializing in the designand manufacturing of heat exchangers and their components for nearly twenty
years, specifically for solar and nuclear heat transfer systems. As part of this project, LEI will provide 3D modeling services for innovative heat exchangers to evaluate and substantiate the efficiency of a newly patented heat exchanger designed by Lindain Engineering.
On October 4th, the Head of the Laboratory for Nuclear Installations Safety at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA), Dr. Federico Rocchi, visited the Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI).
During the visit, the guest was introduced to the institute’s activities and ongoing projects (LEI and ENEA share tasks and/or are partners in several EU-funded projects). The discussion also covered potential collaborations in future joint projects. A detailed presentation was given on the nuclear energy field in Lithuania, including its historical context, current situation, and future plans. Dr. Rocchi also toured the Center for Hydrogen Energy Technologies, Plasma Processing Laboratory, and the Laboratory of Combustion Processes.
