Another edition of the MUW Patronage Program prepared by the Communication and Promotion Office has ended. Its culmination was a lecture on innovations in interventional cardiology delivered by Prof. Marcin Grabowski, Head of the 1st Chair and Department of Cardiology.

Five researchers from our university were among the 322 grant recipients who have just received decisions on receiving funding in NCN competitions: OPUS 25, PRELUDIUM 22, MAESTRO 15 and SONATA BIS 13. They are: Prof. Sebastian Granica, Agnieszka Muchowicz,MD, PhD, Anna Leśniak, MD, PhD, Agata Gaweł and Joanna Jarosz-Popek. The total amount of funding for researchers from MUW was more than PLN 8 million.

Eight of our students received scholarships from the Minister of Health for the 2023/2024 academic year for significant academic achievements. The diplomas were presented by the Minister of Health, Izabela Leszczyna.

Its participants could learn about the changes that midwives will face, including the extension of their professional qualifications. Scientific works of students and teachers of the Faculty of Health Sciences were also presented. The works are not only interesting for the academic community but also important from the point of view of patients and the health care system.

For the second time, the Faculty of Pharmacy has distributed invitations to participation in the international Interdisciplinary Conference on Drug Sciences “ACCORD 2024”. “A musical chord is a consonance of sounds of different pitches. We want to achieve such consonance between various fields of science in order to carry out ambitious drug research, create new intriguing projects and increase the recognition of our work around the world,” said Prof. Przemysław Dorożyński, Chair of the Scientific Committee of the Conference.

This event, hosted by students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, was intended for young scientists who conduct interesting research in the field of health sciences. The agenda relied almost entirely on their speeches. Almost, because there was also room for an interesting debate with the participation of Faculty students about how they would like to be taught. Their discussion showed that, regardless of what subject they represent, they have clear expectations and there is more that unites them than divides them.

The “Gold Medal of the Fair”, the “Thailand Award” and the “Diploma of the Minister of Science” – this is the result of the University’s participation in the 17th International Fair of Inventions and Innovations INTARG 2024 in Katowice.

Great speeches resembling stand-ups plus heated discussions on a very current topic – this is the shortest way to describe this event. It was attended by academic teachers, secondary school teachers, experts in recruitment and career planning, as well as representatives of university authorities and students.

It was the first edition of the National Pharmacological Knowledge Competition “Recipe Auream” (Golden Prescription). Our university was represented by a team of six students of the Faculty of Medicine. And it turned out to be a “golden” team. We took first place in the team classification, first and second in the individual one.

These words were spoken by Aleksandra Zawadka-Grześkiewicz, this year's pharmacy graduate, to her colleagues present at the graduation ceremony. During the ceremony, which took place on May 18, 119 people received their diplomas of graduation. The graduates were accompanied at this important moment by the university authorities, faculty authorities and loved ones.
