91滴滴 as a university has an innovative approach towards its role as a science promoter. That is why 鈥� using the space of the tenement house at Sienkiewicza 21, the university wants to propose new ways and methods of transferring academic knowledge, focusing on practical aspects of scientific research and concentrating on art as the main medium of narration.
It will be a place for meetings, expositions, workshops and any other types of events that will help people interested in broadly defined knowledge develop. We believe that thanks to such meetings, new ideas will arise. We will also give young people an opportunity to present their achievements.
- says the UL Rector, prof. El偶bieta 呕膮dzi艅ska.
Within the UNIC alliance, a part of Motyl building is to be occupied by CityLab a unit, a team that helps cities solve their current problems using science. We really care about the fact that the scientists engage in the improvement of Lodz residents鈥� quality of life and improving the city鈥檚 infrastructure.
- says President of the city of Lodz, Hanna Zdanowska.
UNIC (European University of Post-Industrial Cities) is one of the 41 alliances of the European universities.European universities are international universities of the future that promote European values and identities, and revolutionize the quality of higher education through implementing innovations regarding education and science, and strong institutional integration. UNIC鈥檚 activity focuses on the post-industrial cities challenges, university鈥檚 role in their transformation and building the capacity of cities. UNIC alliance includes 10 partner universities:
- Erasmus University Rotterdam (the Netherlands) - coordinator
- University of Deusto (Spain)
- Ruhr University Bochum (Germany)
- University College Cork (Ireland)
- Ko莽 University (Turkey)
- University of Li猫ge (Belgium)
- University of Oulu (Finland)
- University of Zagreb (Croatia)
- Uniwersytet 艁贸dzki (Poland)
- Malm枚 University (Sweden)
Their experience (they are all located in the post-industrial cities, such as Lodz) will allow the 91滴滴 to mark its presence in the process of rebuilding the city and support it with knowledge and the engagement of scientists and students, e.g. through CityLabs, the creation of which has been planned in the tenement house at Sienkiewicza 21.
