Thirst for knowledge - lecture #1

Chronic fatigue, research on Spitzbergen, or modern drug design tools are just some topics that will be presented to a broad audience by a consortium of European universities during the YUFE Academy.

The YUFE Academy will take place in May 2024 at YUFE member universities spread across the continent – from Madrid in the west to Joensuu in the east. It is a series of open meetings oscillating around four focus areas of the network: European identity and Europe's responsibility in a global world, citizens' well-being, digital societies, and sustainable development.

On-site lectures that will take place in Toruń will be held from 15-17 May at the University Library at 13 Gagarina Street.

On 15 May at 13:00 CET, the lecture This is me: An overview of LGBTQ+ identities, lived experiences, and inclusion will be given by Karen Bush, YUFE's leader for equality, diversity and inclusivity from the University of Essex. Shortly after, Molly Astarita – a Fulbright scholar – will lead a workshop exploring themes of equality and equity.

Registration is required for the events taking place virtually and in the hybrid format and can be done on the YUFE Virtual Campus. YUFE Academy lectures are also held at other times, and all of them are always published on the alliance's virtual campus.

The complete programme is available for downloading here and at yufe.eu/academy.

Run with a Book - 10th edition

An anniversary edition of the "Run with a Book" entitled "Gombrowicz's Gallop" will be held on 26th May. The name of the run refers to the works of Witold Gombrowicz, one of the most outstanding Polish writers of the 20th century, whose name has been announced for the year 2024 in Poland.

The "Run with a Book" is an open running event for the NCU community and supporters of our university. Its purpose is to promote physical activity and popularize reading. The event will include a main run, a relay race and an additional run called "Run Up Mom."

The year 2024 has been declared the Year of Gombrowicz to mark the 120th anniversary of the writer's birth. Thus, this year's "Run with a Book" refers to the author's life and works. The distance of the main run will be measured in gallops (a unit taken from Gombrowicz's "Operetka"). There will be 1,200 gallops, or 4.2 kilometers to run. The distance has been calculated as follows: 120 (the anniversary of the patron's birth) times 10 (the tenth edition of the run) times 3.5 meters (one gallop).

The event has an amateur character. There will be prizes not only for the fastest runners. In the "Z Gombrowiczem" classification, the result will be calculated using an algorithm that considers the route's time and the book's parameters. To participate in this classification, contestants need to run with a book authored by the patron of the run. Each mother with child/children who completes the additional run will receive a small gift.

The event is organized by the NCU Alumni Programme and the NCU Marathon Club.

Registrations will be open till 22nd May. More information
