V.3.1. Development of UW Staff competences – “Learning University”

Pursuant to § 2 para. 1 point 3 of the Rules of the 1st “Learning University” competition, an employee of the University of Warsaw may participate in the competition, if that person’s employment contract with the University covers a period no shorter than the total duration of the Development Action, and the period of obligation to remain employed at the University resulting from the “Rules for concluding contracts for improving professional qualifications”, constituting Annex 2 to Ordinance No. 85 of the Rector of the University of Warsaw from 18 May 2021, on the principles of improving the professional qualifications of employees from the University of Warsaw.

Pursuant to § 3 para. 2 of the Rules of the 1st edition of the “Learning University” competition, this is possible in special cases with the consent of the Rector. First of all, when admitting an application to the competition, it will be taken into account whether the course of study conducted at another university is not also conducted at the UW (i.e. it should first be checked whether the UW by chance does not run such a course, which an employee would like to complete outside the UW, or one with a similar programme).

In turn, according to § 5 para. 7 of the Rules of the 1st edition of the “Learning University” competition, Employee Applications for Development Activities referred to in § 3(2) are subject to assessment by the Committee. They are included in the ranking lists only if the Rector agrees. Thus, applications should not be personally addressed to the Rector before or during the competition.

Pursuant to § 6 para. 8 of the Rules of the 1st edition of the “Learning University” competition, the amount of co-financing which can be obtained in the Competition is equal to 75% of the total cost of the Development Activity indicated in the Application, while in accordance with § 6 para. 10 the co-financing is granted until the funds referred to in § 1 para. 1 point 1 and point 2 of the Rules run out. It is also worth noting the provision of § 6 para. 2, according to which, when the Committee makes their assessment, they take into account the scale of the expected benefits for the Employer in relation to the total cost of the Development Activity.

Pursuant to § 3 para. 1 of the Rules of the 1st edition of the “Learning University” competition, co-financing may be granted to studies starting in the academic year 2023/2024.

Yes. Pursuant to § 3 para. 1 of the Rules of the 1st edition of the “Learning University” competition, co-financing may be granted to studies starting in the academic year 2023/2024.

Pursuant to § 3 para. 3 of the Rules of the 1st edition of the “Learning University” competition, the Employee’s participation in the Development Activity should lead to the improvement of existing qualifications or the acquisition of new ones, contributing to the achievement of one of the results mentioned in the above paragraph. At the same time, in § 5 para. 4 there is reference to the connection with the current scope of duties or planned tasks. However, we are talking about a change in tasks that has already been planned and is certain.

The rules do not exclude such a situation.

It is difficult to give specific dates, but the committee is prepared to proceed immediately after the end of the call and the formal assessment.

In such cases, please apply on a general basis. Individually applying for the Rector’s approval is not necessary or even advisable. The Committee will address an inquiry to the Rector on this matter as part of the competition procedure.
