…accreditation primarily focuses on the development of entrepreneurial behaviour among students and the implementation of didactic innovations. An important element of the assessment is also the internationalization process of the school and its cooperation with external institutions and business organizations in terms of preparing graduates for the needs of the labour market.   The Faculty of Management is among 174 universities around the world t…

…light-atoms interface is based on off-resonant light scattering. In the write-in process the cloud of atoms is illuminated by a laser beam, resulting in photon scattering. Each scattered photon is emitted in random direction and registered on a sensitive camera. The information about scattered photons is stored inside the atomic ensemble in the form of collective excitations – spin-waves which can be on demand retrieved as another group of photons…

…otted also are known to play the role in various diseases, for example obesity and Parkinson. It is likely that the appearance of these diseases is correlated with improper knotting. Moreover, some proteins, which are found in two different biological domain of life, but perform the same function are knotted in bacteria and unknotted in eucariota. Our goal is to use knotted proteins to design selective inhibitor new antibacterial drugs. To do this…

…indicators, including an academic reputation, web impact, citations per paper, and the proportion of academic staff members qualified to a PhD level. The University of Warsaw occupied 6th place. In a global QS University Ranking 2018, featuring over 950 best universities in the world, the UW was ranked 411-420.   More information regarding QS EECA University Rankings 2018.   Recently, The 2018 Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE)…

…stic and minority groups’ rights, and also help to support and promote linguistic-cultural diversity and good language policies – explains Dr. Olko.   In November, the center will organise the first European Nahuatl conference, workshops and an international conference “Engaged humanities” focusing on the revitalization of endangered languages. In December, the scholars will begin working on a new project “Language as a cure: linguistic vitality a…

…nted opportunity to probe a collision of two neutron stars. For example, observations made by the U.S. Gemini Observatory, the European Very Large Telescope, and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope reveal signatures of recently synthesized material, including gold and platinum, solving a decades-long mystery of where about half of all elements heavier than iron are produced.   The LIGO-Virgo results are published today in the journal “Physical Review Le…

…tform to support cooperation in other areas like, for example, sciences and development of technology transfer concepts. Our plans for future cover the biannual conferences, students exchange, visiting lectures and many other initiatives that I hope will be possible within the framework of this project – said Prof. Marcin Pałys, rector of the University of Warsaw.   The programme will provide opportunities for research collaboration, as well as te…

…e is important as many compact object mergers – for example when neutron stars are involved – are expected to produce broadband electromagnetic emission in addition to gravitational waves. The precision pointing information enabled 25 facilities to perform follow-up observations based on the LIGO-Virgo detection but no counterpart was identified – as expected for black holes.   Virgo doesn’t respond in the exactly same way to passing gravitational…

…– I would like to welcome our international students. We will be glad to help you whenever you need it – said Katarzyna Basisty, the Welcome Point Coordinator, during the opening ceremony. – We are well aware of the fact that the beginning in a new country and a new institution is always difficult, but please treat it as a challenge, not as a problem. Remember that this is just the beginning of a great adventure of studying at the University of Wa…
