Visit of 26 Vice-Rectors from 26 partner universities at AMU

Last week we had the opportunity to host a group of Vice-Rectors from 26 of our partner Universities from Ukraine.

Most of the sessions for our guests, including a round table discussion of further possibilities for strengthening cooperation, the possibility of obtaining EU funds for project development and the problem of higher education in war-torn Ukraine, took place at the Palace in Debina.

The programme of the visit also included a meeting with the authorities of The Regional Parliament of the Wielkopolska Voivodeship, represented by Marshall Paulina Stochniałek and the Authorities of AMU and representatives of the individual Faculties of the AMU, as well as participation in a performance prepared by Barak Kultury Przemysław Prasnowski and the Emigrant Theatre, entitled 'Żywot' ('Life').

As a result, the Pro-Rectors had the remarkable opportunity not only to attend lectures and workshops specially prepared for them, but also to familiarise themselves with the City of Poznan, discover our University and explore the regional culture.

Throughout the stay, the group was supervised by the AMU Vice-Rector for International Cooperation - Prof. Rafał Witkowski, the Director of the Interdisciplinary Individualized Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences - Prof. Rafał Dymczyk and Dr Kostiantyn Mazur.

We would like to thank all the participants for coming.
