BARTŁOMIEJ KOWALIK’S SUCCESS. MODERN UNIVERSITY, INCREASINGLY GLOBAL UNIVERSITY

Internationalisation is becoming one of the showpieces of Jan Dlugosz University in Czestochowa. All thanks to an employee who has recently recorded a huge success. During the "International Students in Poland 2025" Conference, Bartłomiej Kowalik received the prestigious award and the title of "Rising Star of Internationalisation 2025" in the Rising Star category!

The distinction was awarded during a meeting held in Gdańsk (in the last days of January 2025), which was organised by the Perspektywy Education Foundation in cooperation with the Conference of Rectors of Academic Schools in Poland and the Conference of Rectors of Polish Universities.

This highest recognition went to our employee for the numerous activities he planned, implemented and carried out. They concerned internationalisation. Among them, the activities aimed at coordinating the Erasmus + programme, Horizon 2020 and the NAWA PROM programme deserve to be emphasised. At our University, Mr. Kowalik initiated the creation of the Erasmus+ Student Club, which unites students from abroad. Among his greatest achievements is the University's participation in the COLOURS European Universities alliance.

On a daily basis, Bartłomiej Kowalik is the chief specialist in charge of the Department for International Cooperation of JDU. He has been working at the University since 2018. More information about Mr. Kowalik’s success can be found in the article published in  the "Perspektywy".

It should be added that during the Conference, the Vice-Rector for Cooperation and Internationalisation, prof. Marcin Sosnowski, took part in a joint meeting of the Committee for International Cooperation of CRASP and the University Commission for Internationalisation of KRUP. The meeting focused on key issues related to the internationalisation of higher education in Poland, including visa restrictions and promotion strategies.
