Prof. Ewa Żebrowska and Prof. Agnieszka Leńko-Szymańska from the Faculty of Applied Linguistics, Dr Magdalena Łazicka from the Faculty of Biology, and Dr Bartosz Wołodkiewicz from the Faculty of Law and Administration are among the eleven academics from 4EU+ Alliance universities who were selected in the 4EU+ Visiting Professorships mobility programme. Thanks to the initiative, UW researchers will work on their research and educational projects for several months at the University of Milan, Sorbonne University, and Charles University in Prague.
The Visiting Professorships programme seeks to enhance collaboration between the eight member universities of the 4EU+ Alliance: the University of Warsaw, Charles University, Sorbonne University, the University of Heidelberg, the University of Copenhagen, the University of Milan, the University of Geneva, and Paris-Panthéon-Assas University.
Thirty-four academics from all 4EU+ universities submitted their applications in the second edition of the programme. Eleven candidates have been selected to spend two or three months at a 4EU+ partner university, conducting research or educational projects related to the 4EU+ flagship programmes.
Among the selected researchers are four from the University of Warsaw: Prof. Ewa Żebrowska and Prof. Agnieszka Leńko-Szymańska from the Faculty of Applied Linguistics, Dr Magdalena Łazicka from the Faculty of Biology, and Dr Bartosz Wołodkiewicz from the Faculty of Law and Administration.
