Almost one third of the university budget, equal to 360 million euro, is devoted to research. Domestic and European grants are the main sources of academic research funding. UW employees have won 14 of the 34 grants awarded to Polish institutions from the most prestigious European competitions of the European Research Council (ERC). Within the current EU financial framework (2014-2020), UW scholars have won more than 50 grants from the Horizon 2020 programme.<\/p>

UW scientists conduct research on socially important issues in cooperation with scientific centres from all over the world. In addition to the flagship programmes under the 4EU+ Alliance, such projects include those implemented within the EIT Food \u2013European Knowledge and Innovation Community in the food sector, which forms part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. UW has been a member of EIT Food since 2016.

The university is an active member of international associations engaged in the integration and development of higher education. It also belongs to 100 global research networks, as well as many consortiums set up to carry out research projects.<\/p>

UW belongs to the 4EU+ European University Alliance selected by the European Commission for funding in the \u2018European Universities\u2019 call for proposals, launched as part of the 2019 Erasmus+ programme. The 4EU+ Alliance is based on a shared vision for a European University that embraces academic values, ensures equitable access to education, and shapes the next generations of open minded and critical-thinking citizens to be ready to face and solve global challenges. The 4EU+ mission is to develop a barrier-free and continuously deepening cooperation in education, research, mobility and innovation within the Alliance.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The strategic objectives of the university include enhancing international recognition and building a good position among the top European research universities. The multiannual development plan, which will continue until 2025, makes the most of the potential of the university. It aims to foster research in the humanities and social sciences, tighten up collaboration between faculties and simplify cooperation within the social and economic environment, as well as promote international academic exchange. Thanks to this programme, new buildings will be constructed and others will be refurbished.<\/p>

2018 marked the beginning of the implementation of the university\u2019s four-year Integrated Development Programme (ZIP). The programme is designed to support the comprehensive development of the university and includes development of new fields of study and modification of existing curricula; enriching the range of curricula, courses and scholarship programmes for doctoral students; organization of classes and training sessions to improve the skills of students and employees; and development of university management IT tools.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
