Today, everything seems simple. Everythings seems easy. A career in three months, workation straight from the hammock, and work tasks accompanied by nothing but good vibes. It’s easy to be captivated by this vision, and even easier to be disappointed. However, those who have accomplished much in life understand that true success is attained by those who do not opt for the easiest paths but are willing to work and fight fiercely. Not against others, but against themselves.
ISM is designed specifically for such determined intellect adventurers. It’s a realm of science for those who understand that achieving results may require rolling up their sleeves and, at times, diving headfirst into challenges. No, we won’t offer a pre-prepared escape route each time, but a strong and supportive community – always. This will inspire the pursuit of knowledge and openness to innovation. Most importantly, it encourages not giving up after the first failure, and even more so after the tenth.
For those aspiring to professional heights – those aiming for more – ISM promises to be both a motivating challenge and a strong support. Be ready to move forward.

Located in the Heart of Vilnius
We’ve revitalized a historic building right in the heart of Vilnius. Here, in the lively Gedimino Avenue, you’ll find some of Lithuania’s largest companies and institutions. From the terrace where our community enjoys coffee together, you’ll have a breathtaking view of Gediminas’ Tower!
