For several hours, the parking lot in front of the WUM Didactic Center pulsed with vibrant colors, flavors, and sounds. In the multicultural village, organized for the third time by our international students, members of the WUM academic community and Warsaw residents gathered to celebrate diversity together.

The results of the Center for World University Rankings 2025 have been announced. MUW, with a score of 71.1 points, was ranked 916th in the world rankings. Among domestic universities, MUW again ranked a high 9th, and 2nd among medical universities. The position in the ranking is not only a source of pride, but also proof of the highest quality of education offered by our university.

The auditorium of the MUW Didactic Center was filled with members of the University’s rectoral and dean’s authorities, as well as our researchers and scientists. Polish and international students at the Medical University of Warsaw turned out in large numbers to attend the lecture, along with groups from high schools affiliated with MUW.

Professor Michał Grąt and Professor Dominika Nowis have been appointed by the Minister of Health to serve on the Council of the Medical Research Agency (ABM). Their term of office will last six years.

They have every reason to be proud: over five and a half years ago, they chose to pursue a profession of great importance, and now they have successfully completed a demanding course of study. “I congratulate each of you not only on earning your Master of Pharmacy degree but also on joining the ranks of professionals whom society can rely on in one of the most vital areas of human life – health,” emphasized Professor Dorota Olczak-Kowalczyk, Vice-Rector for Human Resources and Organizational Affairs, during the formal graduation ceremony.

Students from the Medical University of Warsaw (MUW) and the University of Warsaw (UW) took on the roles of judges, defense attorneys, witnesses, and the accused. The mock trial they reenacted was based on a real-life court case, although the time, location, and all identifying details were altered. The underlying facts and legal issues, however, remained authentic.

On May 20, President Andrzej Duda presented professorial nomination decrees to 80 academic teachers and researchers in the fields of science and the arts. Among the recipients were: Professor Monika Czerwińska, Professor Ewa Czochrowska, and Professor Renata Główczyńska.

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.

During the competition, which tested both knowledge and skills, our students faced teams from Wrocław, Kraków, Szczecin, Poznań, Gdańsk, and Łódź. The tasks they had to tackle required specialist knowledge, precision, quick action, and good teamwork. Every minute counted, as did accurate diagnosis and logical thinking. The win proves that our students measured up to each of those challenges.

This year, the University Quality Culture Day at the MUW was titled “The university in the times of AI: between progress and uncertainty”. Experts talked about the opportunities for using AI in both research and teaching.
