From 24 to 26 September 2025, the University of Rzeszów will host academic communities from around the world. The occasion will be the 5th Jubilee International Academic Conference entitled “Education in the Face of Contemporary and Future Challenges and Tasks”, held under the motto “Cooperation Beyond Borders – Education as a Bridge to Global Solutions.”

The significance of the event is underscored by the fact that the Ministry of Science and Higher Education has awarded the University of Rzeszów substantial funding as part of the Excellent Science II programme. The expert review highlighted the high quality of the project proposal, the international scope of the conference, and its important contribution to the development of the social sciences.

The conference is of an international nature – presentations will be delivered in both Polish and English, and experts from numerous countries have confirmed their participation. Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit papers for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals and collective monographs.

Professor Jolanta Szempruch, Vice-Rector for Science and International Relations at the University of Rzeszów and Chair of the Conference’s Scientific and Organising Committee, emphasised the importance of the event:

“This is not only a jubilee edition of a significant conference series, but also a moment when Rzeszów and the University of Rzeszów become a space for real, international debate on education. We are pleased by the strong interest shown by academic communities from various countries and by the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, which recognised the scholarly value of the project. It confirms that the University of Rzeszów is steadily strengthening its position as a forum for the exchange of ideas and solutions of global importance.”
