Since August 2008 a project at the Uppsala University Museum, the Museum Gustavianum, has been auditing the university’s unmanaged departmental collections. Two years into the audit the project has entered into its second phase and in this article we discuss the goals we have in mind as well as some of the problems that we have encountered. By way of two case studies we illustrate the development of the project and finally we discuss the results that we have already achieved as well as those that are expected.

Kowalski eventually resigned from coming to Istanbul, even if all formalities were settled, and the relocation guaranteed his and his family’s safety.

Author(s): Helena Hrapkiewicz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 33 (2)/2009

Keywords: psychological; stimulation; mental stimulation; University of the Thierd Age

The paper presents a general characteristics of aged people, their needs and opportunities of development. One of the needs is the necessity of mental stimulation, which can be satisfied through participation in activities offered by Third Age University. Huge growth of the number of aged people in developed countries including Poland contributes to the development of Third Age Universities not only as one of the forms of continuous education but also as a community of elderly people. The number of Third Age Universities in Poland, though not exactly known, is estimated at about 130 and is still growing. One of such institutions is the Third Age University attached to the University of Silesia. It started in the academic year 1982/83 and the current number of students is about 1800, including separate groups in Katowice, Sosnowiec and Jastrzębie with over 1100, 500 and 300 people, respectively. The students can choose from a wide offer of activities ranging from lectures, classes and seminars to trips and activities involving physical movement. In October 2007 the Third Age University attached to the University of Silesia was an organizer of an all - Poland conference “To study to be”.

A University in the Street – about Experiences Coming from City Games

Uniwersytet na ulicy – o doświadczeniach płynących z gier miejskich.

Author(s): Ewa Trębińska-Szumigraj / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: ;counselling;students’ education;gamification;action research;

The article is a presentation of two events – city games: „The Tree of Support” and „The Life Scraps”, which were the parts of the Festivals of Science that took place in Zielona Gora in 2009–2012. Analysing the experience of these projects participants, mostly students and academic teachers, the author answers the question: wherever pursuing projects outside the university walls will give students a different and new opportunity to acquire skills of being a professional counsellor or reflective researchers of counselling practice. In the first part the author describes two mentioned projects: „The Tree of Support” and „The Life Scraps”. In the next part the author refers to literary checks whether these projects can be gamification mechanisms. In the final section there are analyses of some changes that had taken place during the project continuity and after its completion, and evaluates their suitability in the process of education of pedagogical and social studies students.

NATURAL RESISTANCE. AMEREIDA AS A NON-HEROIC EXPEDITION AND UNCONDITIONAL UNIVERSITY

OPÓR NATURALNY. AMEREIDA JAKO NIEHEROICZNA WYPRAWA I UNIWERSYTET BEZWARUNKOWY

Author(s): Magdalena Barbaruk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 32/2019

Keywords: Amereida; Latin America; travesía; the Open City; university;

Through the metaphorical phrase "natural resistance", the author indicates still valid belief in the necessity of discovering the "internal sea" of Latin America, the constant effort of "the reinvention of America" (M. L. Pratt). She reminds the ambivalent consequences of A. von Humboldt’s descriptions of nature for the identity and history of the New World (growing cultural consequences of colonization and, at the same time, the political decolonization of the continent). This historical context is important for the understanding of the decolonization project called Amereida, in which the "weak", poetic, artistic tools of resistance were used. She describes travesía from Tierra del Fuego to Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia), carried out in 1965 by architects, poets and artists associated with the Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, and the Open City, founded in 1970, in which they combined work, life and education of students.

University Faced with Challenges of Innovation on the Example of Doctoral Studies

Uniwersytet wobec wyzwań innowacyjności na przykładzie kształcenia doktorantów

Author(s): Grażyna Prawelska-Skrzypek,Grzegorz Baran / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 7.1/2016

Keywords: doctoral studies; university; innovation; entrepreneurship; employability of doctoral graduates

Will the University be able to suport effectively the development of innovative economy, if it is not innovative? Does traditional thinking about the competence and doctoral education allow the graduates to join the innovation processes in companies or be a keystone of the relationship between science and practice? What would have to change in the university and its environment, that doctors of sciences have become an important factor of innovation processes? The research results indicate lack of support mechanisms for the transition from university to the labor market. Businesses are not particularly interested in recruiting doctors, and even there are cases of rejection based on the applicant held a degree. The graduates themselves are not blameless. They often do not know the needs of the labor market outside the university and do not develop the competence that could make them more attractive on the labor market. At the same time we talk increasingly about innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity in the context of the modern university. Do we need today such innovations in the university? What would they be? Where to find their sources? As part of the university or outside it? Or and perhaps in the relationship with the environment, including those with the participation of PhD students and graduates? The authors attempt to answer at least part of these questions, using the results of research, but some are left unanswered as an impulse to think about the universities and the challenge for the future research projects.

Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce as an Auxological Research Center

Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach jako ośrodek badań auksologicznych

Author(s): Andrzej Jopkiewicz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 32/2018

Keywords: Jan Kochanowski University; Kielce; Auxological Research Center;

Auksologia nie ma długoletniej historii, gdyż sięga ona zaledwie końca XIX i początków XX w. Termin auksologia (auxein – z greckiego: rosnąć, wzrastać, rozwijać się) wprowadził po raz pierwszy francuski lekarz i antropolog Paul Godin w 1903 r. Największy rozwój auksologii przypada na lata pięćdziesiąte i sześćdziesiąte ubiegłego wieku, i wiąże się z pracami wybitnych pediatrów i antropologów, takich zwłaszcza jak J.M. Tanner w Londynie, będący autorem wielu prac z zakresu auksologii, a zwłaszcza ponadczasowej monografii pt. Rozwój w okresie pokwitania oraz A history of the study of human growth.

Józef Julian Sękowski’s farewell lecture The University of Saint Petersburg, 1847

Pożegnalny wykład Józefa Juliana Sękowskiego, Uniwersytet w Sankt Petersburgu, 1847

Author(s): Joachim Śliwa / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 67/2022

Keywords: Józef Julian Sękowski / Osip Iwanowicz Sienkowskij (1800–1858); oriental studies at the University of St. Petersburg in 19th c.; Józef Emanuel Przecławski (1799– 1879); Vieniamin Kavierin (1902–1989)

The aim of this paper is to present the last period of Józef Sękowski’s/Osip Iwanowicz Sienkowski’s cooperation with the academic community of the University of St. Petersburg. His farewell lecture (O driewnosti imieni Russow) was intended as an affront to the university and was widely commented as such. The lecture was not delivered by Sękowski himself but read on his request by one of his co-workers; the text has never been published. The remembrance of this event and the accounts of its course have been preserved in memories of its witnesses. A larger fragment from the Kalejdoskop wospominanij (1874) by Józef Przecławski “Ciprinus” regarding this event, not yet translated into Polish, has been quoted in own translation by the author of the paper. Thanks to this account, containing some additional explanations, one can become familiarised with the events back then. Sękowski’s controversial lecture resonated also in fiction. Its repercussions can be found in Vieniamin Kavierin’s novel titled Skandalist, ili wieczera na Wasiliewskim Ostrowie (1928). Kavierin, who graduated from oriental studies in Petrograd (1920–1923), was very well acquainted with Sękowski’s biography, mainly as the author of a broad monograph titled Baron Brambieus. Istoria Osipa Sienkowskogo żurnalista, riedaktora “Bibliotieki dlja cztienija” (1929, 1966).
