On May 28, 2025, Medical University of Warsaw will host an inspiring lecture by Craig C. Mello, an American biochemist who, together with Andrew Z. Fire, received the Nobel Prize in 2006 for "the discovery of the mechanism of RNA interference". The lecture is open to all interested parties, but we kindly request registration. We invite students, graduates, teaching and research staff, and anyone else interested to meet a star of world science.

Dance and vocal performances from eight countries, positive energy, lots of laughter, and a full house – that was the scene on Friday evening at Klub Oczki. All thanks to the students involved in the Diversity X WUM project, who promote and celebrate multiculturalism not only at our university.

On 23 April, the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, presented acts of nomination to academic teachers as well as scientists and artists. The group of distinguished recipients also included the representatives of our University: Professor Magdalena Januszewicz, Head of the 2nd Department of Clinical Radiology, and Professor Maria Radziwoń-Zaleska of the Chair and Department of Psychiatry.

We are deeply shaken by the events that unfolded at the university hospital in Kraków yesterday [on 29 April]. Tomasz Solecki, MD, was murdered at work while serving his patients as he always did. This is something that should never have happened.

The accreditation awarded by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is a top global distinction, and it proves that the program meant for the healthcare sector and offered jointly by the MUW and SGH in Warsaw meets the highest global standards as regards the quality of teaching, internationalization, societal impact, and academic excellence.

The International West-East Conference is now 18 years old! And as always, it continues to cover important topics, with healthcare for patients with disabilities as the theme for this year. It is an initiative aimed at doctors and dentists, but other healthcare professionals, students, and specialists from outside of medicine can also gain a lot of practical information here. That is why the symposium has consistently attracted considerable interest – this year, it was attended by several hundred individuals.

Ten of our students have received scholarships for their outstanding academic achievements. This places the MUW as second among medical universities in terms of the number of scholarship recipients.

The Warsaw International Medical Congress is an event created by students for students. It provides a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience, as well as to meet people from all over the world who have similar interests and are pursuing interesting scientific projects. And as can be seen from this year's turnout, the congress is a recognizable initiative and is held in high regard by young scientists.

Health Day, hosted by the Faculty of Health Sciences to coincide with World Health Day, is a regular event dedicated to health promotion and prevention. This year’s theme was “How young people can help their parents and grandparents maintain their health effectively”. The event welcomed secondary school students, who could attend lectures by experts and visit stands prepared by student scientific clubs (SKNs).

This was a top-level event. Titled “Towards an EU Action Plan on Rare Diseases”, the conference was organized by the Ministry of Health, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), and our University. Experts and policy makers came together to discuss the future direction in EU policy on rare diseases.
