Programme for the Priority of Lithuanian Studies

The Programme for the Priority of Lithuanian Studies 2025-2030 is a state-commissioned competitive grant route under the Research Council of Lithuania. It runs from 2025 through 2030 and succeeds the Lithuanian Studies Programme 2016-2024, keeping the focus on humanities, social sciences, and arts. The programme is designed to build national capacity around Lithuanian studies rather than to support individual fellowship-style awards. Its funding model is project-based and broad enough to cover research, experimental development, digital datasets, publication in Lithuania and abroad, translation of scholarly works, support for scholarly journals, public communication of results, and international-facing promotion of Lithuanian studies. The call cycle is annual, so institutions can plan around a regular competition window rather than an ad hoc one. All funding is denominated in euros. Eligibility is institutional rather than individual: universities are required, research organisations are allowed, and applicants must operate in Lithuania with Lithuanian documentation. That makes the route strongest for academic teams that can combine research with dissemination, translation, and international reach in one proposal. The most persuasive applications will usually show that the work can advance Lithuanian studies in a way that is both scholarly and publicly visible.
