Research

Research conducted by Panevėžys Faculty of Technologies and Business meets national and international priorities: it is multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary; the Faculty’s scientists and researchers are participating in national and international projects, taking part in scientific conferences, and are actively involved in R&D projects and non-formal education. Global grant programmes and involvement in national research programmes enables the Faculty’s scientists to achieve significant results.

 

Research areas

Studies on traffic safety, transport logistics and environmental protection

Research focuses on investigations on traffic accidents in streets and roads by defining the reasons of these accidents and finding solutions. Studies on transport logistics aim to explore the possibilities of applying technological solutions in the fields of cargo loading/uploading, storage and freight. The issues of logistics centres management have been also investigated. Research in environmental protection solves the questions related to transport noise, pollution, vibration prevention and control.

 

Studies on strength of materials and structural elements and technology processes of their processing

Research in this topic is devoted to the development and improvement of methodologies for the determination of strength, stiffness and durability of loaded layered (mechanically heterogeneous) structural elements. The method of calculation of elastically deformable layered structural elements has been developed, which allows to precisely predict the behaviour of such constructions during loading and compression loading, and predicts decomposition and strength.

 

Building materials for constructions and energy

Research in this topic is related to the development of multi-purpose selection methods for efficient solutions for A ++ energy efficiency buildings.

Organisational processes and management solutions in the context of enhancing competitiveness

Research in this topic is related to the effectiveness of organisational processes and evaluation of their efficiency with the aim to optimise the processes in different stages of value chain creation and to develop the organisational values that lead to socially responsible behaviour. The search for management solutions is based on identifying practical problems in economics, management, finances, law and marketing and applying the research based knowledge and organisational wisdom.

 

Educational empowerment and employability

This topic deals with the qualitative and quantitative research on academic youth mobility and their integration into job market or other forms of employment (entrepreneurship, volunteering, self-employment) taking into account other stakeholders (educational institutions and job market representatives). The focus on educational empowerment is related to the exploration of the ways for developing youth‘s competences required by job market and enabling leadership for learning. The latter research aspect reflects the studies on educational empowerment of schools community: encouragement of leadership among teachers and pupils, analysis of relationship between pupils’ learning achievements and leadership.
