The coronavirus epidemic has drastically changed the way universities operate in every field: in their teaching and research activities, as well as in the area of administration and management. The authorities of universities are faced with the necessity to implement key processes in unprecedented conditions.

In this difficult period, we should support each other, which is why the Polish Rectors Foundation and PCG Academia are launching a new Program “Universities in times of epidemic: new conditions and good practices”.

Under the Program we will organize free webinars at which university representatives will be able to exchange experiences and good practices, formulate common positions on the regulations governing the activities of the university and the aspirations and concerns of members of the academic community, as well as meet invited experts and discuss the interpretation of regulations on matters currently raising doubts of universities.

Our goal is that, thanks to webinars, university authorities will receive support in making decisions of strategic importance for the efficient functioning of universities in a completely new reality.

The joint program of Polish Rectors Foundation and PCG Academia will include six webinars, which will take place every week from April 30th to June 4th, 2020. Each seminar will last about 60-90 minutes and will be dedicated to current issues and the most important processes at universities in the time of the epidemiological crisis.

Thematic scope of the webinars will include didactics (online education, student examinations), enrollment of candidates for studies, evaluation of scientific activities, international cooperation, university finances and digitization of administration.
