It was a year of significant achievements, important meetings and agreements, but also difficult experiences. Here is a recap of the most important events of the last 12 months at the University of Warsaw.

It could be called the discovery of the decade. The existence of a new class of exoplanets – free-floating planets – was demonstrated by an international team of astronomers, in which scientists from the large-scale OGLE sky survey conducted at the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Warsaw and the Gaia Science Alerts project of the Gaia satellite played a key role.

Representatives of the University of Warsaw – Rector Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak and Chancellor Robert Grey – took part in an educational mission to the United States. During the visit, meetings were held with the Polish-American community and the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in New York, among others.

From 14th to 16th January, Mobility Days are being held at the University of Warsaw. During the meetings, participants can find out what the university has to offer in terms of trips abroad, particularly as part of the Erasmus+ programme.
