How to prove your experience and relate to the requirements of the industry? As daily researchers, one is indulged too deeply in solving the mysteries of science focusing on specific topics. However, you can still translate your skills to meet industrial demands. In this webinar, I would like to explain what mistakes I made during my transition to the industry and help you avoid these. Understanding how to translate your current skill set is a key factor that will help you identify which opportunity to target. „Where do you want to see yourself in 5 years?” This is one of the most common and irritating questions that HR would ask. However, it is important to know the answer. By the end of the webinar, I am sure you will start foreseeing your future and be prepared for your successful leap into the industry.

On 21st May, the University Electoral Committee registered three candidates for that position:
– Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak, www: http://alojzynowak.pl, Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlojzyZNowak;
– Prof. Paweł Strzelecki, www: https://www.pawelstrzelecki.pl, Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pawe1Strze1ecki;
– Prof. Andrzej Tarlecki, www: https://tarlecki.pl, Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndrzejTarlecki.
All of them will take part in the pre-election meeting which will be held remotely on the UW YouTube channel on 25th May at 16:00.
One can watch the debate on the University of Warsaw website. The link to the live stream in Polish is available here >>
The meeting will also be simultaneously interpreted. The link to the English version of the live stream will be available on 25th May at en.uw.edu.pl.
During the meeting, the candidates for the UW rector will present their programmes and answer the selected questions. Every member of the UW community can ask one question and send it within one application. Please formulate your question clearly and succinctly – so that it can take no more than two minutes to read it.
Questions should be sent to the address: ukw(at)uw.edu.pl – until the end of the last presentation during the meeting on 25th May. There will be up to seven questions drawn.

VPS10P domain receptors – How to sort out brain health and disease
VPS10P domain receptors are intracellular sorting receptors primarily recognized for their roles in neuronal cells. They direct cargo proteins to their destined localization in subcellular compartments of the cell. Sorted proteins include signaling receptors and transporters but also secreted growth factors and morphogens. Protein sorting by VPS10P domain receptors controls functional integrity and viability of neurons, while receptor dysfunctions are linked to acute, psychiatric, and neurodegenerative diseases. Now, the dogma of exclusive neuronal expression of VPS10P receptors in the brain was challenged by several studies, drawing our attention to receptor activities in non-neuronal cell types, i.e. astrocytes and microglia, in pathologies of central nervous system. Here, I will present major concepts in VPS10P research, but I will also focus on the newest advancements regarding non-neuronal functions of VPS10P receptors in the brain.

Academics working in the 4EU+ universities can submit project proposals regarding education that would engage students and doctoral candidates. All projects have to involve at least three 4EU+ member universities and fall under one of the four 4EU+ flagship programmes.
The collaboration within 4EU+ will be marked by a shared approach to higher education that is being developed. For now, its main features are:
- Challenged-based, addressing key challenges and problems that our societies are facing, often in an interdisciplinary way, and engaging with the public;
- Student-centred, allowing and encouraging students to develop a personalised learning pathway, following their curiosity and questions and engaging in active learning;
- Knowledge-centred, understanding learning as research and asking academics to integrate their research into their teaching;
- Competence-oriented, cultivating a set of competences and skills that each 4EU+ student should be able to demonstrate.
Academics of 4EU+ are invited to submit project proposals that can have various forms, e.g. workshops and other short-term intensive learning experiences (summer/winter schools), seminars, joint courses and modules, core curricula, or joint study programmes. All of them need to be daring and innovative.
Project proposals need to be rooted in the 4EU+ Flagship Programmes:
- Health and demographic change in an urban environment;
- Europe in a changing world: Understanding and engaging societies, economies, cultures and languages;
- Transforming science and society by advancing information, computation and communication;
- Biodiversity and sustainable environment.
Proposals for educational projects should be submitted between 15th June and 1st July.
At first, they need to be are handed in digitally to the local 4EU+ office. At UW, the office responsible for the collaboration with the 4EU+ universities is the Office for International Research and Liaison (please e-mail: marta.brelih-wasowska(at)adm.uw.edu.pl and marta.jaworska-okninska(at)adm.uw.edu.pl).
Proposals are evaluated by the responsible Flagship Programme Committee and then approved/rejected by an expert group on education and the 4EU+ Secretary General.
The local EU+ officers will inform the applicants about the outcome, alongside with further information on the development of the project in practical terms (also finances).

Four doctoral schools at the University of Warsaw are now open to applications. University graduates who would like to pursue their scientific career can apply to their preferable doctoral school, register in the Internet Recruitment of Candidates (IRK) and submit required documents until 28th June.
Doctoral Schools of UW offer four-year education in various disciplines in humanities, social sciences, exact and natural sciences as well as indisciplinary fields. Each doctoral candidate in doctoral schools is obliged to follow their Individual Research Plan. They carry out research in an individual unit their supervisor is employed. They take part in university-wide classes and classes organised by a school, e.g. methodological workshops or specialisation seminars offered by particular disciplines. Doctoral candidates’ progress and supervisors’ work are subject to mid-term evaluation. All UW doctoral schools offer full educational programmes in the English language.
Doctoral schools at UW
- Doctoral School of Humanities
- Doctoral School of Social Sciences
- Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences
- Interdisciplinary Doctoral School
Visit the website of doctoral schools >>
All doctoral candidates in doctoral schools receive a scholarship in the amount of PLN 2371.70 for the first two years of studies (before the mid-term evaluation) and PLN 3653.70 in the next two years after the mid-term evaluation. The scholarship is reduced by 11% due to compulsory insurance.
Application process
At the beginning of admissions to a doctoral school of the University of Warsaw a candidate should find a supervisor who will be ready to take care of them and their research project. The supervisor’s name and their declaration of readiness to take up the function should be submitted in the Internet Recruitment of Candidates system.
Looking for a supervisor, one can use a special browser that contains a list of academics who want to act as supervisors.
The closing date for applications is on 28th June. Due to the epidemiological situation, the application schedule may be subject to change. The relevant information will be posted on the website of doctoral schools and IRK.
Information on admissions to doctoral schools is published on the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School, however it also refers to other schools.
