PROFILE - SHORT DESCRIPTION

UWM in Olsztyn is the biggest public university in north-eastern Poland. UWM is the only university in Poland with the structure similar to American universities. In our offer you can find courses of various fields like: medicine, veterinary medicine, philology, IT or civil engineering.
UWM has a rich scientific base: laboratories, workrooms, technology halls (i.a. dairy) and other elements of research infrastructure, i.e. the base of the radio telescope LOFAR PL-612 in Bałdy.
Our scientists successfully apply for international grants. The best example of this is project DairyFunInn. UWM is responsible for 4 work packages (out of 8):
