Within the framework of the Excellence Initiative “Research University at the University of Gdańsk” programme, the Visiting Professors Programme was created – a fund for co-financing of medium (5-12 weeks) and short-term (2-4 weeks) visits of outstanding scientists from abroad.

The aim of the Visiting Professors programme is the internationalisation of scientific research and teaching activities conducted at the University of Gdańsk, which builds the basis for further cooperation, including joint publications, research, academic exchange, as well as allows the improvement of language skills and makes the forms and methods of teaching more attractive to students.

Funds in the UG Visiting Professors programme are available to individuals:

• who do not have Polish citizenship,
• employed as a professor at a foreign university (i.e. Assistant Professor, Researcher, Associate Professor, Full Professor, Reader, or equivalent position)
• invited to the University of Gdańsk by an academic teacher who is a supervisor of the visit.

More information about the recruitment can be found on the Visiting Professors Programme website.
