Let's celebrate together

Inauguration
of Academic Year
2026/2027


September 29, 2026
11.00 CEST (UTC+2)
Warsaw and online

There is something extraordinary and timeless about academic year inauguration ceremonies. On these special days, we meet at our universities — in Poland and around the world — to remember the roots of the academic tradition from which we have grown, the values that unite us, and the goals that are crucial to us. We rejoice in the spirit of community on these special days. Together, we — students, employees, and collaborators – create our University, a community and an institution. We create an open university — one that is rooted in tradition, but also engaged; a responsible university — because we think not only about the here and now, but also about future generations; courageous — because we undertake challenges and we want to change the world for the better.
