On Thursday, 26 June, the Academic Career Office, in collaboration with the University Library team, had the pleasure of organising a special event for graduates of our University. The meeting combined both a touch of sentiment and a spirit of discovery – for some of the attendees, it was their first visit to the current BUWr building and a unique opportunity to see the Library’s most valuable items up close.

How did one manage to remember music before sheet music in its current form was invented? What was the Guidonian hand, and why is it still worth using in musical education? Is it possible to discern logic, emotions, or even elements of violence in medieval musical treatises? We are pleased to invite you to read Maria Kozan’s interview with dr Ryszard Lubieniecki – a musicologist, artist, and practitioner who not only examines music of earlier times, but also creates and shares it. This conversation takes as its starting point his latest book “Musica i memoria w środkowoeuropejskich traktatach muzycznych pierwszej połowy XV wieku”, published in 2025 by Wrocław University Press.

We are pleased to announce that the Institute of Slavic Studies at the University of Wrocław (ul. Pocztowa 9, 3rd floor) is currently hosting the photography exhibition “SłowoWobraz. Fotografia literacka” (eng. WordInImage: Literary Photography). The displayed works were created during a series of creative workshops held in May 2025, open to students of the University of Wrocław.

Three researchers from the University of Wrocław have become laureates of the prestigious MINIATURA 9 grant awarded by the National Science Centre!

These were the words used by one of the Mentors, Ewa Błońska, to describe the mentoring programme run by the Academic Career Office.

W Wydawnictwie Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego ukazała się właśnie książka dr Marty Śleziak pt. „Głosuj, broń, wybieraj. Polskie hasła polityczne z lat 1918–2020”. To książka-kompendium, uzupełnienie wiadomości z historii, wiedzy o społeczeństwie, ale przede wszystkim języka polskiego i tego, jak potrafimy my, jako obywatele lub rządzący, tworzyć hasła czy slogany.

On 20 June 2025 at 18:00, a unique online meeting will take place with Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, Svetlana Alexievich. This is a rare opportunity to hear the voice of one of the most outstanding contemporary Belarusian writers – an author who has given voice to an entire generation and created powerful documentary epics about the human soul during times of war, disaster, the collapse of systems, and profound social change. Her books, dedicated to topics such as Chernobyl, the war in Afghanistan, the fall of the USSR, and the trauma of Soviet and post-Soviet existence, centre above all on the human being – their emotions, fears, hopes, and memory.

148 speakers from over 30 universities in Europe, Asia and North America participated in the BEYOND LANGUAGE 2025 conference this year. Eight days – five European cities (Warsaw, Bucharest, Lviv, Wrocław, Poznań) – a multitude of unique spots on the world’s intellectual map! Transdisciplinary exploration of thoughts and perspectives. Three continents – 111 papers – 48 hours of presentations, debates, and academic sessions. For a while, each of the cities on the BEYOND LANGUAGE map became an intellectual epicentre, a large-scale microcosm.
