AWF Katowice with the highest scientific category (A +) in the discipline of physical education

The Law on Higher Education and Science introduced new provisions on the four-year evaluation of universities and research institutes. The evaluation assigns scientific categories in individual scientific disciplines. These categories determine, among others the possibility of conducting studies with a general academic profile and awarding academic degrees, the amount of subsidies, i.e. money that research units receive from the state budget.

Pursuant to Art. 267 paragraph. 1 of the Act, the basic evaluation criteria are:

• criterion I - scientific or artistic level of the conducted scientific activity;
• criterion II - financial results of research and development works;
• criterion III - the impact of scientific activity on the functioning of society and the economy.

The highest A + category awarded proves the very high level of scientific activity conducted by the employees of AWF Katowice, presented in scientific articles and monographs, patents for inventions, commercialization of the results of scientific research and development works, and the effectiveness of applying for research grants through national and foreign competitions.
