Karolina Sygulska with a visit to the Arctic University of Norway

As part of the WSB University's Erasmus+ Programme, she participated in meetings with both administrative and research and teaching staff, with whom she discussed the possibilities of further cooperation between the two Universities.

During her several-day stay in Norway, she had the opportunity to learn about, among other things, the University's organisational structure, development strategy and educational offer. Moreover, during her visit, she had the opportunity to familiarise herself with the architectural solutions applied by UiT, as part of the University's accessibility for people with special needs, including those with disabilities.

There was also time to visit selected faculties, the University Library and the Arctic University of Norway Museum, where visitors can learn about the history of northern Norway and the indigenous population, among other things.

The University of the Arctic of Norway (UiT) is the third largest in Norway and the northernmost university in the world. It consists of six campuses in different cities in northern Norway, with the main campus located in Tromsø. The university's activities focus primarily on topics of great societal importance such as climate change, exploitation of Arctic resources and environmental threats. UiT's key research focuses on the polar environment, climate research, indigenous peoples, peace and conflict transformation, telemedicine, medical biology, space physics, fisheries science, marine bioprospecting, linguistics and computational chemistry. The ARCTOS network at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, Fisheries and Economics is a leader in research on Arctic marine ecosystems and an important partner of the Norwegian Polar Institute in Tromsø. The Department of Physics focuses on aurora borealis and space research. All these institutes have a high international reputation.
