History

Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (LAMMC) was established in 2010 as a merger of three related research institutionsLithuanian Institute of Agriculture, Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Institute of Forestry.

The mission of Centre is to generate, garner and disseminate new scientific know-how geared to awareness of sustainable land, forest and environment resources, their competitive development and use, elaboration of innovative technologies and products to meet the needs of the society.

The current structure and management 

Currently, the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry includes 3 institutes: Institute of Agriculture, Institute of Horticulture, and Institute of ForestryIn January 2021, Vokė and Vėžaičiai Branches, Agrochemical Research Laboratory, Joniškėlis and Rumokai Experimental Stations were incorporated in the structure of Institute of Agriculture. 

In August 2020, Dr. Gintaras Bazauskas won a public competition for the position of LAMMC Director. In January 2021, positions of director of the divisions were withdrawn. Dr. Vita Tilvikienė was appointed LAMMC Deputy Director for Science, Dr. Antanas Ronis was appointed Deputy Director for the Activities of Institute of Agriculture, dr.
