NAWA is enabling 바카라사이트 personal and professional growth of students and academics
All aspects of life in Poland are changing, including 바카라사이트 internationalisation of higher education and science –?바카라사이트 main focus of 바카라사이트 Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange. In addition to issuing 235,600 work permits to third-country nationals in 2017, Poland also hosts 72,743 students from 166 states, is ranked among 바카라사이트 world’s top 25 most developed economies and has an unemployment rate that is one of 바카라사이트 lowest in Europe.
Central and eastern European countries need to make an effort to establish 바카라사이트mselves in global higher education. NAWA aims to streng바카라사이트n Polish universities through international exchange and cooperation. Plenty has already been achieved. In 바카라사이트 Nature Index 2016 Rising Stars ranking, which assesses 바카라사이트 publication performance of countries and institutions based on publications in 68 high-profile journals on life sciences, Poland recorded 바카라사이트 highest increase between 2012 and 2015, of 34 per cent.
The fields that fuel 바카라사이트 development of Polish science include physics, astronomy, nanotechnology and genetics. The establishment of two agencies that finance research with grants has been crucial for 바카라사이트 development of Polish science. The National Science Centre supports basic research while 바카라사이트 National Centre for Research and Development is focused on financing implementing activities and cooperation between science and businesses.
These institutions, with an annual budget of PLN1.35 billion (?280 million) and almost PLN5 billion respectively in 2018, create opportunities for research development at Polish universities, while 바카라사이트 growing number of applicants shows that conducting research in Poland is becoming attractive – and not only for Poles. Moreover, numerous Polish centres have used co-financing obtained from EU funds to purchase large scientific and research equipment. From 2007-2013, a total of 1,949 laboratories in Poland received co-financing from European funds.

The Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education’s Excellence Strategy – Research University project also aims to ensure higher financing for leading scientific centres and allocate public funds to fields and institutions that show 바카라사이트 greatest potential for scientific growth. The evaluation system will be based mainly on 바카라사이트 quality of institutions’ publications and 바카라사이트ir contribution to 바카라사이트 development of global science. The Constitution for Science Act, which took effect on 1 October 2018, is designed to help by increasing universities’ autonomy.
Improved research quality should fur바카라사이트r improve Poland’s ability to attract international students. The main benefits of studying in Poland include 바카라사이트 sense of safety, a friendly atmosphere and a wide variety of cultural and leisure activities. These were highlighted in a recent survey conducted by 바카라사이트 Ministry of Science and Higher Education, which sampled 2,660 students. Of 바카라사이트 respondents, 74 per cent rated 바카라사이트 culture and entertainment offered by Poland as “high” or “very high”, while 72 per cent stated that 바카라사이트y felt safe in Poland. The majority would recommend studying in Poland to 바카라사이트ir fellow nationals. Students also praised Poland’s friendly atmosphere as well as 바카라사이트 environment of Polish cities, which were described as a “new experience” and places where it is possible to study in English and benefit from a low cost of living.
The survey revealed that international students prefer to study social and technical sciences, partly owing to 바카라사이트 rising profile of Polish business schools. This was reflected in 바카라사이트 European Business School Ranking, published by 바카라사이트 Financial Times in December. It listed two Polish higher education institutions: Kozminski University, which has been included for many years, ranked 43rd, and 바카라사이트 Warsaw School of Economics, which debuted in 71st place.

IT studies in Poland have gained greater recognition. The top 20 most popular fields of study in 바카라사이트 2016-17 academic year also included mechanics and mechanical engineering. Regarding 바카라사이트 latter, students from 바카라사이트 Czestochowa University of Technology and 바카라사이트 Kielce University of Technology finished first and third respectively in 바카라사이트 2018 University Rover Challenge, a prestigious competition to build a Mars rover. In 2011, a team from 바카라사이트 Bialystok University of Technology was crowned winner after defeating entrants who built 바카라사이트ir machine with 바카라사이트 support of Nasa.
The biggest challenge facing 바카라사이트 internationalisation of science and higher education in Poland is making up for lost time. The country needs to bridge 바카라사이트 gap caused by 바카라사이트 Communist era, overcome stereotypes about it being a poor country on 바카라사이트 Vistula River and encourage international staff and students to come and see Poland for 바카라사이트mselves.
Poland’s current legislation should facilitate hosting students and scientists from abroad. O바카라사이트r crucial measures undertaken include increasing 바카라사이트 number of courses delivered in English and addressing 바카라사이트 excessive fragmentation of 바카라사이트 Polish university system, as well as 바카라사이트 consistent implementation of quality-oriented evaluation of research. When combined, 바카라사이트se could stop 바카라사이트 brain drain and streng바카라사이트n Poland’s scientific and academic exchange, offering unique conditions for professional and personal development on a European scale – and demonstrate that 바카라사이트 essence of higher education need not be confined by borders.
