It is important to remember that it is necessary for international students and workers at the University of Warsaw to have health insurance in order to get a proper medical treatment. Otherwise, doctor appointments, including prescribed treatment and medications, are covered by students and employees on their own. Therefore, it is highly recommended to obtain public or private health insurance for the whole period of stay in Poland.
It is possible to obtain health insurance at National Health Fund (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia; NFZ). A detailed information how and where to apply is available on our page:
Students and employees at the University of Warsaw are able to receive free 3rd and 4th dose of vaccination against Covid-19 and a vaccination certificate. Details about vaccinations and appointment reservations are available here.
On March 26 and April 2 at the Faculty of Physics, a next session of a Workshop on machine learning techniques for students and University researchers will be held. The Workshop is organized by the Machine Learning Center UW. The Center was established as part of the IDUB program. This edition of the Workshop is aimed at people who want to learn
the basics of machine learning. At the moment, the Workshops are planned in a remote form, and the limit of participants is 50 persons. The Workshop program can be found at the Workshop website: https://center4ml.idub.uw.edu.pl/workshop_2022_1/
This session will be held in english. If you are interested in participating, please register using the form available on the Workshop website.
We invite students, PhD students and post docs to participate in free summer workshops „Understanding and Supporting Caregiver-Child Interactions” organized by the 4EU + Alliance.
The workshop will be held on September 17-23, 2021 at the University of Heidelberg (Germany).
Applications can be submitted until August 15, 2021 to the address apluta@psych.uw.edu.pl
Details below.

Since 2019, experts from different disciplines (medicine, psychology, cognitive neuroscience) and from different European sites (Warsaw, Milan, Copenhagen, Heidelberg) jointly investigate caregiver-child interactions in typical and atypical caregiver-child dyads. In addition, we already offered the first international seminar for students from all four sites last spring term. Now we would like to share our methodological and theoretical knowledge with even more students, meeting in person (if possible), providing stimulating theoretical discussions, practical insights into new research techniques (e.g. fMRI, EEG, fNIRS, video-microanalysis), and jointly thinking about how to promote international teaching. For BA- and MA- students who successfully apply, the EU will fund any costs for travelling and accommodation.
Day 1 (Friday)
Day 2 (Saturday)
Days 3 (Sunday)
Day 4 (Monday)
Day 5 (Tuesday)
Day 6 (Wednesday)
Day 7 (Thursday)
BA- and MA-students, as well as PhD students or Postdocs with a high interest in learning about how to investigate caregiver-child interactions – preferably if they are interested in writing a thesis with one or more members of the project group as supervisors.

As Poland’s epidemic situation has improved, COVID-19 vaccines widely available, and the restrictions have been eased, the UW Rector has issued the ordinance on the functioning of the University of Warsaw in the state of the COVID-19 epidemic.
The document includes information on the return to the university’s on-site operation, doctoral examinations, and the organisation of summer schools, team-building meetings and meetings of university bodies.
Using and acquiring abstract concepts and words is at the core of many domains in psychology and cognitive science. We will devote a three-day free, online Symposium to the review of the state of the art and identify key challenges for theory-building with some of the leading scientists in the field. We cordially invite you to this virtual event organized by BALLAB (Body Action & Language Lab), Sapienza University of Rome within the TRAINCREASE EU Twinning consortium (University of Warsaw, Rome La Sapienza, University of Manchester & Aarhus University).
Introduction
Using abstract concepts (e.g., „freedom”) is one of the most sophisticated abilities humans possess. In this conference, some of the leading scientists in the field propose novel perspectives on abstract concepts, their acquisition, representation, and use. The first session is dedicated to the influence of inner speech and language on abstract concepts use and representation. The second session focuses on novel interactive methods to investigate abstract concepts and on abstract concepts variability across cultures and languages. Finally, the third session addresses the role of sensorimotor and interoceptive, emotional, and metacognitive aspects on abstract concepts acquisition, representation, and use.
