Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań

Adam Mickiewicz University is the major academic institution in Poznań and one of the top Polish universities. Its reputation is founded on tradition, the outstanding achievements of the faculty and the attractive curriculum. The University has been awarded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The 1st "Excellence Initiative - Research University" program (ID-UB) is one of the most important aspects of the reform of higher education, introduced by the new Law on Higher Education and Science, known as the Constitution for Science. The aim of the program was to select and support universities striving to achieve the status of a research university, as well as being able to effectively compete with the best academic centers in Europe and in the world. Currently, international and national research teams are carrying out hundreds of projects. The University is organized into 21 Faculties where mostly training-through-research is offered together with high quality supervision according to the HRS4R policy adopted at AMU. AMU has received the "HR Excellence in Research" award and has implemented the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.

AMU's mission is to advance knowledge through quality research and teaching in partnership with business and public services. The University is a centre of academic excellence, where research and teaching are mutually sustaining and where the context within which research is conducted and knowledge is sought and applied is international as much as regional and national. We continuously extend and update research programs and study curricula, with emphasis on their interdisciplinary and international nature. As a strategic partner in Central Europe, AMU aspires to contribute to the region's economic growth, social development and environmental sustainability. We align our principles with those of the Great Charter of European Universities. We aim to strengthen ties with EU Member States and embark on new research initiatives.
