The Scientific Council of the Discipline

The Scientific Council of the Discipline is a collegiate body of the University, established under the new Law on Higher Education and Science, as well as the amended Statute of the University of Warsaw.
According to the new law, research activity in a given discipline is subject to assessment, and not the activities of individual units, as in the previous system.
The Faculty of Economic Sciences reports to the Scientific Council of the discipline "Economics and Finance". 
Its tasks include:

  • awarding doctoral and postdoctoral degrees
  • maintaining a high level of research activity, such as setting criteria for the assessment of the scientific achievements of employees, and the coordination of activities related to the evaluation of a given discipline
  • ensuring that education at the university is based on the latest research findings, which is achieved by participating in the appointment of teaching councils
  • as well as ensuring a transparent recruitment process for academic staff, which is based on high quality requirements

Teaching councils for the field or fields of study are established in the organisational units at the University of Warsaw - mainly in the faculties where the educational process is organised.
