Stanford University and the Elsevier publishing house have published the next edition of the ranking of researchers with the greatest impact on the development of science in the world (the so-called TOP 2% list). Every year, more and more scientists from the University of Wrocław appear in the list.

The Polish Philology Didactics Congress began yesterday at the University of Wrocław. This year’s slogan was: “Disapproval – resistance – rebellion in the educational sphere.” We are discussing the event with prof. Marcin Cieński and prof. Dorota Michułka – the organisers of the Congress and members of the Faculty of Letters at the University of Wrocław.

There’s a lot going on at the University of Wrocław Press and we want to keep you informed!

In our series #MondayswithWUWr, we keep you up to date with the most important events, book news and issues important to the Publishing House! We also encourage you to follow the wuwr.eu website and the Publishing House’s social media – Fb, LinkedIn and Instagram.

The UWr Independent Students’ Association is organising a collection for flood victims. The collection is organised on the dates:

Prof. Krzysztof Ruchniewicz, a member of the Historical Institute and Director of the Willy Brandt Centre for German and European Studies, was nominated on 19 September by the Deputy Minister Marek Prawda as a member of the Committee for the ‘Award for Special Services to the Development of Polish-German Relations’.

More than 30 valuable archaeological sites, previously unknown cave paintings, fragments of pottery and stone tools have been identified by Polish archaeologists in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. This is the first Polish research at the site.

The University of Wrocław has high esteem for finalists and laureates of Olympiads, and candidates with excellent secondary school-leaving exam results, but most of all for those who wish to develop their interests and become “Young Researchers”. Meet Rafał Grzelczak.

The Institute of Geography and Regional Development has been conducting research related to hydrological forecasting for more than a decade, in which drones are used to verify the results. Our scientists are also carrying out research into changes in the landscape caused by storm surges.

For the past week, nothing has been more important than securing the University against flooding. I set up an emergency team on Monday to monitor the situation in all the facilities of our University. The buildings are secured and placed under constant surveillance by University Services.
