On 25th February, Prof. Anna Matysiak from the UW Faculty of Economic Sciences, who recently received an ERC grant, will deliver a lecture entitled “Family and fertility in the dynamically changing world of work”. This lecture begins a series of meetings, being a part of the doctoral programme at the Doctoral School of Social Sciences.
The Seminar is dedicated to all doctoral students of the Doctoral School of Social Sciences. However, the event is open to the public. During the seminar, scientists will present interesting research that goes beyond a single discipline. Not only UW scientists will give presentations, but also eminent representatives of social studies from abroad.
