80 trees for 80 years<\/h1>\n\n\n

\u2013 With the planting of the first of eighty trees, we are beginning a series of initiatives that not only symbolise our history and tradition, but also our responsibility towards the future \u2013 said the Rector of the University of Wroc\u0142aw, prof. Robert Olkiewicz, as he planted the first tree, thus launching the cycle of planting eighty trees to mark today\u2019s anniversary of the University\u2019s 80th year, celebrated on 1 October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first tree \u2013 a maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba<\/em>) \u2013 will grow beside the University\u2019s main building, near the staff car park. The ginkgo is a species of exceptional symbolism, regarded as a sign of longevity, resilience, and harmony. Its presence is intended to serve as a reminder of the enduring nature of the academic tradition and of our responsibility towards future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 This species is a symbol of longevity, perseverance, and contemplation \u2013 emphasised the Director of the Botanical Garden, prof. Zygmunt K\u0105cki. \u2013 It reflects the continuity of our University and will serve as a beautiful reminder of its lasting character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today marks the inauguration of the 2025\/2026 academic year, during which the University of Wroc\u0142aw celebrates the 80th anniversary of its re-establishment as a Polish university. The planting of 80 trees is just one of many academic, cultural, and sporting events commemorating the jubilee. \u2013 We want these trees to grow together with future generations of students and the citizens of Wroc\u0142aw \u2013 stressed Rector Olkiewicz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further plantings of these \u201cuniversity trees\u201d are planned at various University sites as well as across the city of Wroc\u0142aw, until the jubilee number of 80 is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
