Vilnius University is a public research university that is the first and largest university in Lithuania and one of the oldest and most prominent higher education institutions in Central and Eastern Europe. It was founded in 1579 as the Jesuit Academy of Vilnius by Stephen Báthory, and it was the third oldest university in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the sole university in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. After the failure of the November Uprising it was closed and suspended its operation until 1919, when it resumed as the Polish Stefan Batory University. Today it is the leading research institution of Lithuania.
