The position of the University of Lodz in the field of Natural sciences in RUR
The second position in Poland in the internationalisation category is also a reason to be pleased. Last year, the University of Lodz was the fourth most internationalised Polish university in the field of Natural sciences. This criterion consists of such indicators as: employment of international researchers at the university, the presence of international students, co-authorship of articles in world magazines and the international rank of the university.
“The leading position of Lodz Natural sciences in Poland in the internationalisation category is a result of work of the employees of the University of Lodz that represent this field. The Faculty authorities strive to employ the best international employees, Polish scientists are equal partners for international researchers, the prestige of the University increases and as a result we have more and more better students, also from European and world universities."
prof. Łukasz Bogucki, UL Vice-Rector for international relations.
