Distinctions and medals – for significant social and organisational as well as scientific research activities
Distinctions and medals for student activities for the benefit of the University of Lodz are awarded for significant social and organisational as well as scientific and research activities. The Universitas Lodziensis Alumno Laude Dignissimo medals are awarded for outstanding work for the university that has lasted for at least 3 years. Doctoral students are awarded the distinctions mentioned above when they can boast of achievements in both spheres (both social-organisational and scientific-research). The distinctions are conferred by the Vice-Rector, while the medals are conferred by the Senate of the University of Lodz, based on candidates presented by the Vice-Rector.
The current academic year is special because of a change in the procedure for submitting nominations for these honours – in contrast to the previous practice, when nominations were made by Deans of individual faculties and Heads of Doctoral Schools. From this year onwards, students and doctoral students apply for the medal or distinction themselves.
