Janu\u0161kevi\u010dius meeting room of the Teaching Laboratory Building. Congratulating everyone on the upcoming national holiday, LSMU Rector Prof. Dr. Rimantas Benetis recalled how the nation expressed its will and desire to restore its lost freedom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet us remember the twenty people who took on the enormous responsibility of declaring Lithuania&#8217;s independence. It is an honour that among these historical figures were also doctors. One of them was Dr. Jonas Basanavi\u010dius. The roots of the university remind us of this special date\u2014it is thanks to true values that our university came into being,\u201d said the Rector, expressing his hope that the historical significance of this special day would inspire the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gintaras Skorupskas, Chairman of the University Council, wished everyone the courage to be honest not only in the academic community, but also in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFreedom acts as a silent backdrop to which we are accustomed and which we do not feel today. We have a state that has learned to resist over many years. We have strong foundations. Freedom is not a structure or documents; it requires meaning and content. February 16th lives on as long as it lives in our thoughts and actions,\u201d said the Chairman of the Council, wishing everyone to preserve what is dear to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chairwoman of the Senate Prof. Dr. J\u016brat\u0117 Macijauskien\u0117 emphasised that Lithuanian history is extremely important for our present and for the future of the University and the entire academic community. LSMU Vice-Rector for Studies Prof. Dr. Indr\u0117 \u010ceponien\u0117 also called for remembering the restoration of freedom in her presentation &#8220;On the Shoulders of Giants: The Founders of the University and Free Ideas,&#8221; recalling the formation of the medical sector under difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eSo many things have changed during that time, so much had to be done to get where we are now. Unfortunately, there were not only bright times \u2013 the establishment of Kaunas Clinics Hospital, the construction of other departments, but also difficult periods \u2013 times of resistance and occupation,\u201c said Prof. Dr. I. \u010ceponien\u0117, Vice-Rector for Studies, said during the celebration, emphasising the price of freedom once again at the end of her presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the festive celebration, sponsors were thanked for their significant contribution to the development of the University\u2018s activities, the strengthening of study and research initiatives, and the support of the University community. The status of Silver Sponsor of the University for 2024 was awarded to UAB Avon Cosmetics, while the status of Gold Sponsor for 2025 was awarded to UAB Gaivil\u0117 and UAB Skirgesa. University Rector Prof. Dr. R. Benetis shook hands with Jurgita Gasi\u016bnien\u0117, representative of UAB Avon Cosmetics, Director of UAB Gaivil\u0117 Dainius Vaitiek\u016bnas, and Director of UAB Skirgesa Skirmantas Akelis, sincerely thanked them for their contribution to strengthening the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
