A letter from Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak, UW Rector, on establishing of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Warsaw.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Dear University Community,
Having obtained the positive opinion of the Senate of the University of Warsaw, preceded by discussions and a dozen of months of preparations and opinions from the UW academic environment, the Government representatives, individual ministries, as well as numerous experts and representatives of medical universities, hospitals and clinical departments, I have established the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Warsaw.
On one hand, turning back to our roots, as the Faculty of Medicine was one of the first UW faculties, and, on the other hand, it is a dream come true to many of us to be able to use the research potential of the UW for medical purposes.
The new Faculty of Medicine will also facilitate a better symbiosis of science and medicine, thus fulfilling the social mission of the University of Warsaw. Furthermore, the Faculty of Medicine will offer a chance to reach higher positions in international rankings and receive additional funding for the research development.
I do believe that the emerging faculty should strengthen the university substantively and enhance the integration of our environment.
I would like to thank you all, and each one of you, for your support in the process of the establishment of the UW Faculty of Medicine.
Wishing you nice summer holidays, with kindest regards,
Alojzy Z. Nowak
UW Rector

Supramolecular Chemistry Laboratory is looking for 2 postdoctoral researchers for a research project at the border of organic, medicinal, and supramolecular chemistry.
The project aims to develop small organic molecules capable of selectively transporting biologically relevant anions through lipid bilayers. Such molecules may exhibit interesting anti-cancer, antibacterial and antiviral properties, and may also find applications in the treatment of numerous diseases resulting from the dysfunction of natural transporters. Within the project, we would also like to construct stimuli-responsive transporters whose activity could be controlled by pH, light, or redox potential.
Project leader: Michał Chmielewski, Ph.D.
Deadline: July 16, 2022

The University of Warsaw has entered the renewal procedure of HR Excellence in Research award. During the upcoming month the actions under the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers, both those already undertaken and the ones that are planned to be implemented within the following years, will be duly reported to the UW community.
The campaign called “HR Excellence at the UW in June” is considered to inform members of the UW community about the procedures and actions at the University, which follow the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R). The HRS4R identifies the research institutions and organisations that support favourable and boosted working conditions for researchers throughout Europe as set out in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
The European Union’s strategy focuses on stimulating employment and economic growth, by setting up competitive, transparent and open labour market for researchers within four main areas:
- labour and ethical aspects;
- recruitment processes;
- training courses and development;
- working conditions.
The roles, responsibilities and rights of researchers and their employees are described in the “Charter and Code” to guarantee attractive research careers and enhance employment and working conditions for researchers across Europe.
The HR Excellence in Research award is received for a particular period. The University of Warsaw has initiated the application procedure of the renewal of the HR Excellence in Research.
“This year the European Union onsite visits are expected to evaluate the undertaken actions and their timing, as well as their impact on the University and its strategy. The reviewers will also meet representatives of our community to assess the recognisability of the HR Excellence in Research distinction,” Professor Sambor Grucza, the UW Vice-Rector for Cooperation and Human Resources, explained.
In June, details referring to the HR Excellence in Research award, related actions and activities, as well as academic teams in charge of the implementing processes, are duly reported:
Research career development and mobility
Internationalisation and mobility support actions
Fair, transparent and merit-based recruitment and career
June with HR Excellence in Research. Equality actions
A symbol of trust. An interview with Prof. Sambor Grucza, Vice-Rector for Cooperation and Human Resources
