International Mathematics Competition 2026
At this year's IMC, our Faculty was represented by a team composed of Krzysztof Karwik, Michał Kaźmierczak, Łukasz Łopacki, and Adam Naskręcki.
The team won one First Prize, two Second Prizes, and one Honorable Mention.
Congratulations! The team was coached by Dr. Rafał Martynek.
A+ categories for Mathematics and Computer Science
Mathematics and Computer Science held at MIMUW received the highest ratings (A+) in the Ministry of Science and Higher Education's evaluation of the quality of our research for the years 2022-2025.
Three A+ categories were awarded in Mathematics across Poland (University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University, and IMPAN), and only two in Computer Science (University of Warsaw and AGH).
We extend our heartfelt congratulations and thanks to everyone who contributes to our scientific excellence with their daily work!
