University of Wrocław statement regarding the decision to withdraw the honorary patronage of one of the events in the lecture series by dr Gabor Maté

Appeal of the Women in Tertiary Education and Science Council [pl. Rada ds. Kobiet w Szkolnictwie Wyższym i Nauce] for academia with reference to recommendations for advisory organs in the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

A new tab titled “Nagrody naukowe i konkursy” has been launched in the “Badania” section of the University of Wrocław’s main website. This space will be regularly updated with information about upcoming academic conferences, internships, research scholarships, and other opportunities for academic and professional development, as well as competitions for the best doctoral thesis.

Until Monday 31 March, the Rector’s Office of the University of Wrocław is accepting applications for the Wrocław Freedom badge of honour.

Due to the suspension of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education funding under the Cambridge University Press consortium licence implemented by Faculty of Biological Sciences of the University of Wrocław has signed an individual agreement for access to the Cambridge University Press electronic journal collection (CUP) with the option to publish in OA. The programme is intended for correspondence authors affiliated with the University of Wrocław.

The Council was headed by University of Wrocław researcher prof. dr hab. Anna Pacześniak from the Institute of European Studies and also included the Vice-Rector for Internationalisation, dr hab. Patrycja Matusz, prof. UWr.

The results of evaluation based on the current principles will not reflect the actual state of science in Poland – assessed the members of the Conference of Rectors of Universities in Poland (KRUP) in their position paper adopted two days ago. This is another voice of the academic community on the current evaluation of scientific activity.

This year’s ceremonial open meeting of the College of Rectors of Wrocław and Opole Universities took place, as is tradition, on November 15 in the Aula Leopoldina of the University of Wrocław.

Elections to the UWr Student Self-Government’s statutory bodies – the Student Parliament, the Faculty Student Self-Government Council and department heads – are approaching.

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.
