About VU Faculty of Communication
Vilnius University Faculty of Communication is a modern and open academic community bringing together research, education and practice in communication, information, media and culture. The Faculty offers degree programmes at all levels, conducts internationally relevant research, and collaborates with organisations across the business, public and cultural sectors. It nurtures creative, critical-thinking and responsible communication professionals equipped to drive change in their fields and in society.
Endowment Capital Investment Management
VU Faculty of Communication Endowment Sub-fund is a sustainable and intelligent finance management model, where the received funds are invested in various asset classes and the return on investment is allocated annually to the needs of the center.
VU Foundation’s investment strategy is in line with the best international practice: diversified financial instruments; risk management; investing in a global market. The Sub-fund’s capital is invested together with the main Fund’s capital. An allocation ratio of 2.5% (or individually agreed) is used to calculate the annual payout to the VU Faculty of Communication. The part of the investment gain that exceeds the payout is reinvested.
Because of reinvesting, the value of the Sub-fund will grow exponentially over the years. Check out the simulation below on how the initial capital of EUR 100,000 will grow over the next 100 years and what return it will bring to the VU Faculty of Communication.
Allocating The Return On Investment
The returns generated by the Vilnius University Faculty of Communication sub-fund’s investments will be used to fund student scholarships recognising work that makes a meaningful impact on society. The scholarships will support research and initiatives that strengthen information resilience, media literacy, the responsible use of artificial intelligence in communication, creativity, critical thinking, and civic engagement.
Through the returns generated by the sub-fund’s investments, the Faculty will also invite world-class scholars and leading media and communication practitioners, establish postdoctoral fellowships at the Faculty, and support early-career researchers undertaking research stays at universities and research centres abroad.
