The LUMEN 2020 Conference is just around the corner. On November 24-25, we will meet online to discuss the most important and pressing issues in higher education. We cordially invite you to register at pcgacademia.pl – participation is completely free of charge.

This year’s 6th edition of the LUMEN Leaders in University Management Conference due to the pandemic situation and out of concern for the safety of our participants will be held online. The conference will not be one-sided, but interactive – we will provide all participants the opportunity to participate in the discussion.

There are two days of live broadcast waiting for you, full of debates with the most prominent representatives of the academic community in Poland and factual presentations of the best solutions supporting the university’s activities, especially during COVID.

In terms of content, LUMEN 2020 will focus on issues related to the effects of COVID-19, the implementation of Law 2.0 and the challenges of the new term of office of the rectors. We will present current trends in higher education, discuss numerous legal changes and demonstrate management innovations ready to be adapted at universities.

In total, the agenda of the LUMEN Conference includes as many as 10 panels with 40 experts of university management. Each panel is dedicated to a different, key topic related to the current situation of universities in Poland and in the world.
