Delegation from Florence to the University of Wrocław
On Thursday, 27 February 2025, prof. Robert Olkiewicz, rector of the University of Wrocław, received a delegation from the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, led by prof. Erik Jones, director of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Research within the EUI. The meeting was also attended by Joanna Wielgo, manager of EUI-funded projects, and, on the UWr side, dr Łukasz Prus, Vice-Rector for Student Affairs; prof Magdalena Ratajczak, dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences; prof. Piotr Sula, vice-dean for internationalisation of the Faculty of Social Sciences; Urszula Broda, head of the International Office; and Tomasz Woźniakowski, assistant professor at the Institute of Political Science, local coordinator of the event.
The meeting discussed the possibility of establishing permanent cooperation between our university and the EUI under the ‘EUI Widening Europe’ programme, which aims to build a bridge between the EUI and national higher education institutions by offering joint activities for early career researchers, fellows, senior academics and administrative staff.
Our guests gave two lectures to researchers on writing grant proposals and publishing in foreign scientific journals, and also conducted a two-day workshop on political risk. Its aim was for social science students and doctoral students to acquire skills valued in the private sector. In addition to EUI academics, the workshop was attended by Preston Keat, head of UBS bank headquarters in London.
