Creating a conducive environment for research career development is an important element of the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers, implemented by the institutions awarded HR Excellence in Research.

Mobility, scholarships and programmes for UW doctoral candidates

As set in the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers, the University of Warsaw supports the scientific careers of its researchers and doctoral candidates. Under the University’s Integrated Development Programme (ZIP) they are offered a number of support and skills development projects that are useful not only in their research work, but also in their professional and social activities.

The new academic year with the HR Excellence in Research

The University of Warsaw is in the renewal phase of the HR Excellence in Research. The European Commission’s team of experts is visiting the UW on 24th October. The assessors will be evaluating the undertaken actions, their influence on the university, as well as their cohesion with the strategy of the University of Warsaw.

Research career development and mobility

Apart from international research programmes, international and intersectoral mobility is a key factor in the development of a scientific career, self-improvement and education. As part of the information campaign called “HR Excellence in Research at the UW in June” we are describing university initiatives regarding this issue.

Internationalisation and mobility support actions

The University of Warsaw introduces a number of support initiatives within internationalisation and mobility to help visiting employees, doctoral candidates and students. Here we are presenting the actions under the “HR Excellence in Research at the UW in June” campaign.

Fair, transparent and merit-based recruitment and career

As set in the European Charter of Researchers, universities are bound to progress their researchers’ development, whereas researchers are obliged to develop their skills and qualifications. The actions should aim at minimising the employment uncertainty while increasing the employability.

Equality actions

The Gender Equality Plan for the employees and students who need to combine professional work with caring for children, “We are all equal” campaign, “The Anti-Discrimination Guidebook”, provide examples of the actions undertaken by the UW against any non-discrimination behaviour. Here, we are discussing the ongoing actions and planned activities to ensure equality issues at the UW.

Optical billiards on a microscale

“Light offers a chance to revolutionise electronics. The electrons underlying the basis of this field of science encounter resistance as they move along a metal wire or a semiconductor layer. However, light can propagate through semiconductor crystals practically without losses, so it can be used instead of electrons to streamline logical operations,” says Dr. Jan Suffczyński from UW.

European experts address the COVID-19 pandemic

How should Europe deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in the future? Which strategies should be pursued, and what specific risks should be considered?
