Over PLN 11 million for the University of Warsaw humanists
The Ministry of Science and Higher Education allocated PLN 89 million within the framework of the National Programme for Advancement in Humanities for projects in humanistic disciplines. Over 12 per cent of this sum will be granted to UW researchers, which will enable them to carry out 29 projects.
The funding received from the Ministry will allow the UW scientists to commence or resume a number of projects in varied humanistic disciplines. The studies focus, among others, on cultural and linguistic heritage of Podlasie region, the issues of modern phenomenology, or universal character of Stoicism as underlying moral philosophy of 21st century. The subsidy will also help to finance the translation of many books, including the translation into English of "Duchy of Warsaw (1907–1815)" by Jarosław Czubaty and a monograph "Strangers by Choice. A Study on Antisocial Philosophy" by Andrzej Wa¶kiewicz.
