Who We Are

About Us

Better Education for All.

VšĮ Edupiada is a non-profit organisation based in Lithuania, active in the fields of education, youth development, and intercultural communication. Through our three core programmes, we work with different groups — from primary school children to university and intellectual communities — and operate an educational network both within Lithuania and internationally.

What We Do

Pangea Mathematics Olympiad — Baltic Coordination

We coordinate the Baltic region for the Pangea Mathematics Olympiad, now in its 11th year in Lithuania. We manage the competition's communication processes and coordinate the question-writing process together with international partner organisations. The programme works with children and teachers from grades 1 to 8 — our platform has 8,000 registered students and 1,300 registered teachers.

VILIPO Project Olympiad — Vilnius Coordination

We promote the VILIPO Project Olympiad abroad, representing Lithuania and this school project olympiad at fairs across EU and non-EU countries. The programme works with students, teachers and schools aged 12–19, aiming to build environmental awareness; we bring the most successful projects to Lithuania to be developed further in coordination with local research centres and universities. Through VILIPO, we are part of an international educational network centred on Lithuania.

Bookworm — Social Integration Programme

Bookworm, founded by us, is a reading programme that brings young people together around a book. The programme works primarily with Lithuanian youth; young people of foreign origin living in Lithuania may also take part. Bookworm is not a one-way “adaptation” programme — its core is a two-way experience of getting to know one another and integrating: participating young people come to know each other's culture, language, and perspective. Joint discussions with Lithuanian authors deepen this encounter through literature. Through Bookworm, we work with children, young people, university communities, and intellectual circles alike — giving us a flexible structure for cooperating with partners across different ages and education levels.

We Are Looking for Partners for EU Projects

We are looking for partner organisations for EU projects in the fields of education, youth, and intercultural communication. The diversity offered together by our three programmes — from primary school to university, from local communities to international networks — makes us a strong partner for versatile EU collaborations.

  • VILIPO (Vilnius International Project Olympiad) is an international competition for students aged 12–19 from around the world.
  • VILIPO gives young innovators a global platform to showcase their projects and inventions, while also creating a life-changing, memorable experience for participants.
  • VILIPO is hosted at FTMC (Center for Physical Sciences and Technology) in Vilnius — the largest scientific research institution in Lithuania, carrying out research in laser technologies, optoelectronics, nuclear physics, organic chemistry, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and more.
  • Students compete across 7 categories: Environment, Engineering, Energy, Programming, Robotics, Art, and Creative Writing.
  • Participants and supervisors receive a Welcome Pack, VILIPO T-shirt, certificates, medals, tablet computers, and trips/excursions.
  • Complimentary events include a guided Vilnius Old Town tour (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and a trip to Trakai, the historic former capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. An optional 4-day Baltics trip is also available.
Pangea Mathematics Competition
  • Pangea is an international mathematics competition open to students in grades 1–10, designed around the philosophy that "everyone can be good at math."
  • In the first round, half of the problems are solvable by all participants — this is intentional, to build students' confidence and show them math doesn't have to be intimidating.
  • Stronger students are challenged to go further, while students who struggle with math are encouraged to discover and build on their strengths.
  • Pangea was founded in Germany in 2007 and today runs in 17 European countries, with more than 700,000 participants competing last year alone.
  • Pangea has been held in Lithuania since 2014, organized by VšĮ Meridiano Licėjus.
