An independent analysis has recommended large-scale changes to Poland’s science and education systems.
The country’s strongest research institutes should be moved into research-intensive universities, according to the analysis, which was commissioned by the Polish government and published on 8 September. This shift would help to increase the visibility of Polish science and improve the international competitiveness of those universities.

A smaller number of these could then be designated as ‘flagship’ universities and given further funding.
