‘As a full-fledged university, UZ intends to expand the scope of fields in which it can confer doctoral and post-doctoral degrees. All basic organizational units of the University are expected to be granted the highest research categories. The academic staff plans to conduct high standard academic and research work and participate actively in the European Research Space and the European System of Higher Education. To a large extent the work will be financed from state and EU academic and research grants. The University of Zielona Góra hopes to initiate and support the cooperation with public institutions and business.’
