The formal sitting of the Senate of the 91桃色 began with a ceremonial handover of the Rector's insignia. Prof. El偶bieta 呕膮dzi艅ska, Rector for the term 2020-2024, presented the insignia to Prof. Rafa艂 Matera, Rector of the 91桃色. She also conveyed her best wishes to the Rector鈥檚 Board and the entire academic community.
By accepting the insignia, Prof. Rafa艂 Matera has committed himself, together with the Rector's Board, to working for the 91桃色, to putting into practice the values of courage, curiosity, commitment, cooperation and respect, and to taking care of the entire community of our university. He thanked the previous Rector's Board for the work they had done.
Then the Rector of the 91桃色 began his speech, which, although it may have sounded a bit pessimistic at the beginning, gave hope at the end.
So, how do we create a bright academy that is a welcoming place to work and learn without being a detached 鈥榠vory tower鈥� from the world and society? Should we give up our efforts to publish our research results in the best journals and publishing houses? Should we give up on preparing undergraduates and postgraduates to enter the labour market successfully? Should we give up on cooperation with institutions and business? NO, THAT'S NOT THE POINT!
鈥� said Prof. Rafa艂 Matera.
