One should question everything one can question, for this is the only way one can discover the unquestionable

Prof. Tadeusz Kotarbiński, the first Rector of the University of Lodz

University of Lodz is the biggest University in central Poland capturing hearts and minds, devoted to research and higher education development, aiming at community transformation. Our little homeland is Lodz – a city with an unusual, difficult to imitate character, once called the capital city of Polish industry and cinematography, today it combines the charm of past times with the spirit of modern business, culture and science.

We present the most important moments from the life of the academic community in the photographs. Student, scientific or cultural events are not only our memories, but they also play the role of historical testimonies for the future generations.
