University of Lodz

WE BUILD COMMUNITIES

At UniLodz, we return to what is important to us: community, dialogue, and cooperation – an approach focused on people and their well-being. At the same time, we remember that although a university is not only about research and teaching, these are the foundations of our activity –they are the driving force behind the development of all communities.

As a university, we want to be a part of our local reality, conducting research with and for people. We want not only to educate, but also to train and shape new generations. We want to create a #HumanUniversity.

We cherish diversity.

Our community boldly and reliably develops science, focusing on the relationship between the man and the world and interpersonal relationships. As a diverse, open and tolerant university, we want every member of our academic community to feel like an important part of it!

One should question everything one can question, for this is the only way one can discover the unquestionable

University of Lodz is the biggest University in central Poland capturing hearts and minds, devoted to research and higher education development, aiming at community transformation. Our little homeland is Lodz – a city with an unusual, difficult to imitate character, once called the capital city of Polish industry and cinematography, today it combines the charm of past times with the spirit of modern business, culture and science.

 

We present the most important moments from the life of the academic community in the photographs. Student, scientific or cultural events are not only our memories, but they also play the role of historical testimonies for the future generations.

We look for new methods of anti-cancer therapy. We collect great DNA databases of Poles to prevent civilisation diseases more effectively. We propose solutions that promote integrated urban revitalisation. We implement new methods of waste degradation. All over the world, we discover and protect new species of plants and animals. We help access water in desert areas. We analyse the language of hate and try to find its causes. We analyse cultural and religious heritage of Poland and the world in many aspects.
