In order to be well-prepared for the 2024 events, rectors of the public universities have established the Academic Consortium Katowice – City of Science. The first joint activity will be the Interuniversity inauguration of the academic year 2022/2023 held this Friday, 30 September.
Of course, the ‘solemn events’ mentioned above are not all that will take place in Katowice in connection with the city receiving the European City of Science title. The success of the Silesian Science Festival KATOWICE has significantly contributed to Katowice being awarded this prestigious title.
The joint inauguration ceremony of the academic year 2022/2023 will begin on 30 September 2022 at 10 a.m. at the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra concert hall. It will be preceded by a solemn rector’s procession in the streets of Katowice, and crowned with a concert performed by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The ceremony will be broadcast on Facebook (official fanpage of the city of Katowice and fanpages of the universities forming the Academic Consortium Katowice – City of Science), as well as on ‘Katowice Oficjalny Kanał’ YouTube channel. The broadcast in English will be available only on YouTube.
