Events

FiDi, or Physicist's Day, is a community celebration created and organised by the students of the Faculty of Physics for the past 57 years, bringing together science, art and culture and encouraging self-expression among young people.

As every year, we invite you to visit three parts of the celebration: 5 April the amusement park Fizlandas will be set up next to the Faculty of Physics in Saulėtekis, where we will be welcoming visitors starting at 10.00.

Later, a festive procession from the Faculty of Physics to the Faculty of Philology will bustle through the streets of the city with the legendary Dinas Zauras and hundreds of students along with the other participants. The procession will start at 15.00 at LR Seimas.

Finally, in the evening, FiDi will be crowned by a spectacular concert, various artistic-scientific installations and tattoo and piercing masters waiting for the bravest. Doors open at 19:00.

On 3-5 April 2025, starting at 20:00, the Grand Courtyard of Vilnius University will host a unique art and science project—an installation-performance U. Artist Akvilė Anglickaitė, in collaboration with lighting designer Valdas Latonas, composer Ramūnas Motiekaitis, and other artists, drew inspiration from the Foucault pendulum located in the Bell Tower of VU’s St Johns’ Church. Using elements of light, sound, and street art, the installation will showcase the synergy between science and art, allowing spectators to experience the sensation of the pendulum’s motion.

 

The performance, running three times each evening from 20:00 to 22:00, will feature a choreographed skateboarding sequence on specially designed ramps, immersed in light and music. VU’s Wind Orchestra 'Oktava' will perform a piece composed specifically for the event by R. Motiekaitis. This will be not only a visually striking spectacle but also an opportunity to explore the laws of physics through the lens of art.

 

Organised by the VU Culture Centre, the event is free and open to all—whether you are a contemporary art lover, a street culture enthusiast, or a science admirer. For a limited time, VU’s courtyard will transform into an experimental space where tradition meets innovation, inviting the city’s residents and the University community to experience a new form of artistic expression and scientific thought.

On 3 April, the VU Talent Show is coming back! We invite all members of the VU community to showcase their talents: all singers, musicians, acrobats, poets, painters, dancers, and everyone else who wants their creativity and talent to be noticed are invited!

 

During the Talent Show, the participants will be judged by a competent commission.

 

All participants selected for the finals will receive souvenirs and the winner will be awarded a prize worth 250 Euros.

 

The event will take place on 3 April, at 18:00, in the VU Theater Hall (Universiteto g. 3).
