…the phonic Polish language, because it varies from it when it comes to vocabulary and grammar. It was developed around 200 years ago, when the first school for Deaf people was opened in Warsaw.   Besides the University of Warsaw, there is no organised teaching of Polish Sign Language on the academic level in Poland. The Polish Sign Language Philology is a study programme opened at the UW’s Faculty of Polish Studies in October 2019. There is also…

…Warsaw’s offer includes the studies in the area of Exact and Natural Sciences, Social Science and the Humanities, as well as interdisciplinary programmes, and the programmes with English as the language of instruction. In the 2023/2024 academic year, the medical studies were introduced in the educational offer of the UW.   There are around 300 various study programmes at the UW. The full list of the studies that are available in the 2023/2024 aca…

…ack hole more precisely than ever before.   The picture presents Gaia’s black holes at their positions in the sky. These black holes are also the closest ones to Earth that we know of. The sky map in the background shows Gaia’s sky in colours and is not a picture. It is a visualisation where individual stars with their colours as observed by Gaia are plotted one by one.

…will delve into the understanding of this region using representations of animals typical to Eastern Europe, such as an aurochs, a wisent, an elk, and a saiga antelope, whose Latin name saiga serves as the acronym of the project.   “These animals were known to scholars of the 16th-18th centuries mainly through the accounts of ancient and mediaeval authors and up-to-date reports from local informants, who were not always reliable. The images they…

…fferings and campus facilities. On 20th April, on the UW Main Campus representatives of faculties were on hand to answer questions about and provide insights into University life. Over sixty information stands provided a chance for individuals interested in pursuing higher education to discover the diverse range of study programmes offered by the University of Warsaw. Faculty members, academic advisors, and current students and doctoral candidates…

…development of new media, including immersive media, which deeply engage their users’ senses, poses enormous scientific and social challenges. We discussed them in order to look for a recipe for how to manage the relationship between humans and technology in times of immanent crises, so that the profit and loss account is constantly in the user’s favour,” said Dr Karolina Brylska, vice-director of the Laboratory of Media Studies, University of War…

…Science and International Studies, and deals with public and global processes regarding governing intangible cultural heritage. “Due to the engagement of the academics, doctoral candidates and students of the Faculty of Political Science and International Studies, we can better understand our contemporary world. Today, we are opening a significant unit of the Faculty, whose aim it to facilitate the internationalisation of the entire University of…

…flexible links and molecular knots. The results of the collaboration between researchers from the University of Warsaw and the University of Wrocław were published in “Angewandte Chemie”. “Although knots and links are mainly of interest in mathematical topology, they also fascinate chemists, who have created many molecules with non-trivial topology,” Prof Bartosz Trzaskowski from the UW’s Centre of New Technologies (CeNT) said. A team of research…

…urther research, including physico-chemical analyses, will be necessary, but it can already be assumed that there was production activity at the Apsaros fort, most probably after the partial evacuation of the army,” Prof. Karasiewicz-Szczypiorski explains.   More information about the research conducted at Gonio-Apsaros is available at the website of the UW’s Polish Centre for Mediterranean Archaeology at: https://pcma.uw.edu.pl/2017/12/13/gonio-a…

…omputer science, because they can be used to describe different types of networks, such as social network, the World Wide Web, rail, air and road networks or other various databases. That is why, algorithms that manipulate graphs play a very important role in the field of computer science,” Prof. Toruńczyk explains.   The aim of the project is to prove mathematical theorems that define the theoretical capabilities of algorithms performing computat…
