Digital4Business is pleased to welcome Mykolas Romeris University as an associate partner of the consortium, further strengthening the programme’s commitment to accessible, flexible and future-focused digital education across Europe.
Based in Vilnius, Mykolas Romeris University is one of Lithuania’s leading public universities, with recognised expertise in law, public security, social sciences, digital innovation, cybersecurity and lifelong learning. The university has a strong focus on responding to the changing needs of individuals, communities and societies, making it a valuable addition to the Digital4Business ecosystem.
MRU brings a distinctive combination of academic knowledge, practical experience and international perspective to the consortium. Its work across social, socio-technical and security-related fields aligns closely with the Digital4Business mission: to prepare professionals across Europe with the advanced digital, business and leadership skills needed to drive digital transformation.
Building on strong experience in digital skills and cybersecurity
Mykolas Romeris University has a well-established track record in European digital skills initiatives, including large-scale Horizon Europe and Digital Europe Programme projects such as the European Cybersecurity Skills Alliance and the Digital4Security Joint Master’s Programme.
This experience is highly relevant to Digital4Business, which brings together key technology domains including artificial intelligence, data science, cloud computing, cybersecurity and digital transformation. As organisations across Europe adapt to rapid technological change, there is a growing need for professionals who understand not only how digital technologies work, but also how they can be applied responsibly, ethically and strategically in business contexts.
MRU’s expertise in digital legal, regulatory and ethical issues adds important value to this conversation. As digital transformation accelerates, leaders must be able to navigate questions around governance, trust, compliance, cybersecurity and social impact. MRU’s contribution strengthens the programme’s connection to these wider societal and organisational challenges.
A shared commitment to flexible and inclusive learning
A key strength of MRU is its commitment to lifelong learning and accessible education. Through its Lifelong Learning Centre, the university develops flexible learning opportunities for diverse groups of learners at different professional and life stages.
This aligns strongly with the Digital4Business approach. The programme is designed to support learners who may be balancing study with work, family responsibilities or career transitions. Its online delivery model, stackable micro-credentials and cross-disciplinary curriculum make it particularly relevant for working professionals, career changers and learners who need flexible access to high-quality education.
MRU is also well positioned to help extend the reach of Digital4Business to underrepresented groups, including women entering the technology sector and learners with disabilities who benefit from remote-first and flexible learning models.
“At Mykolas Romeris University, we believe that the future of education must be open, flexible, and accessible to everyone, regardless of geography, background, ability, or gender. Digital4Business strongly resonates with our mission because it brings together key technology domains that form a solid foundation for digital transformation leadership. We are especially proud to support this programme for women entering technology, professionals navigating career transitions, and learners with disabilities who deserve equal access to world-class learning opportunities. Programmes such as Digital4Business do not only teach skills — they prepare future leaders.”
Dr Indrė Špokienė, Head of the Lifelong Learning Centre, Mykolas Romeris University
Supporting Europe’s next generation of digital transformation leaders
With students from more than 40 countries and partnerships across Europe, Australia and beyond, MRU is strongly committed to international education that connects academic research with real-world practice. This global outlook supports the Digital4Business ambition to build a truly European learning ecosystem that is open, collaborative and responsive to the needs of the labour market.
As an associate partner, MRU will help strengthen the programme’s reach and relevance, particularly in areas such as lifelong learning, cybersecurity, digital regulation, inclusive education and professional upskilling.
The partnership reflects a shared belief that advanced digital skills should be accessible to a wide range of learners, not only those already working in technology. By connecting business, technology, regulation and inclusive education, Digital4Business aims to empower professionals to lead digital transformation in their organisations, sectors and communities.
Digital4Business looks forward to working with Mykolas Romeris University as part of its growing European ecosystem, supporting learners to build the confidence, knowledge and leadership capacity needed for the digital future.
