Opening of the Exhibition and Artistic-Scientific Project "Na styku światów" [At the Crossroads of Worlds] DESCRIPTION:We are opening a dialogue between art and economics – at first glance, they seem to belong to two entirely different realities. One operates with emotions, symbols and intuition. The other one is associated with market mechanisms, numbers and analysis. Yet, it is precisely at the intersection of these worlds that the most compelling questions about contemporary times arise. Does economics shape art? Can art comment on and interpret economic mechanisms? Or perhaps both fields have long influenced and inspired each other? We will discover this on 17 April 2026 during the opening of the exhibition "At the Crossroads of Worlds" – A Meeting of Art and Economics.

Because We Need to Talk About Our Successes but We Also Need to Know How! DESCRIPTION:Are you active in research? Are you achieving success? Show it off. Science only makes sense when we share it!

University Doctoral Students' Government Council (URSD), University Students' Government Council (URSS), UniLodz, and Medical University of Lodz are joining forces to find a solution: the Talking Science 2026 Competition.
