*Project title: Specialized summer schools as a bridge to a career at the UPWr Doctoral School.
Project objectives: internationalization of the UPWr Doctoral School; attracting new foreign students who, by participating in the UPWr Summer School, will learn about the opportunities offered by education at UPWr (conducting research, doctoral school).
Planned effects: as a result of the Project implementation, 2 IIEPs will be created, in frames of which there will be lectures conducted by well-known foreign specialists and 2 workshops will be organized. Students will be offered 2 interdisciplinary courses, which will show the latest achievements in contemporary natural sciences. A total of 60 foreign students are planned to come, and through their participation in the activities, they will learn about UPWr, the research conducted here and the University's leading scientists. Thanks to their stay in Poland and Wrocław, students also will get to know our country and culture.
Project value: the activities proposed in the Program will increase the level of internationalization of the Doctoral School through the interest in research conducted at UPWr by foreign students who may later become candidates for the doctoral school.
