Student announcements

Dear Students, check this page regularly for all announcements.

On behalf of the CommunityConnect Society at the University of Rzeszów, we are delighted to invite you to take part in the URVoice 2025 Conference – Empowering Students, Connecting Worlds, which will be held on 11 December 2025 at Aula Kula, University of Rzeszów.

URVoice is a multidisciplinary student conference that provides a platform for exchanging ideas, research, and experiences across diverse academic fields. It brings together students, young researchers, and university staff to foster dialogue, collaboration, and innovation within our academic community.

The conference will be followed by an evening celebration – the URVoice Christmas Party, organised in collaboration with the Welcome Centre UR, offering an excellent opportunity to connect with participants in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.
