MISTI Lithuania matches MIT students with paid industrial internships, as well as research and teaching opportunities in Lithuania. Participating students come from diverse backgrounds, including engineering, architecture, science, and management. Host organizations include major Lithuanian companies, universities, and research institutes.
The largest of the Baltic states, Lithuania, is situated on the Baltic Sea just across from Sweden. Called Jerusalem of the North (or Athens of the North), Lithuania is distinct with its diverse cultural traditions, baroque architecture, pristine nature, and healthy food.
Openness to innovation, an increasingly digitized society, and recognition from hundreds of leading global companies — that’s Lithuania today. Things here get done quicker and better because the doers — from students and engineers to policymakers — are agile, ambitious, and driven by big ideas, whether it's gene and cell therapy, laser technologies, or advanced machine learning.
