27 researchers from the UWr will receive a total of more than PLN 40 million to conduct their projects as part of the OPUS 26 and SONATA 19 competitions from the National Science Centre. They include four scientists from the Faculty of Historical and Pedagogical Sciences.

The Wrocław Workshop of Geology is an educational project conducted at the Institute of Geological Sciences since 2020, which includes the organization of optional field practice and classes supplementing the educational content of geological studies. The main assumption of these classes is to organize them not only outside the University, but also outside Lower Silesia and the Sudetes, where field practices are usually held. This means that each edition of the workshop takes place in a different location, allowing teaching activities to also take place in regions that are less obvious in terms of geology. Two editions of the workshop are held each academic year, and the latest, the seventh edition, was held in Saxony and organized by dr Piotr Wojtulek. The workshop provided an opportunity for our scientists and students to meet with staff from friendly institutions in the field of geology in Saxony, especially from the oldest university of mining sciences in the world – Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg. The event happened to occur at this year’s 25th anniversary of cross-border cooperation between Lower Silesia and Saxony and was supported by co-financing of teaching initiatives by the Vice-Rector for teaching of the University of Wrocław.
