EU report paints picture of out-of-date system

At least a decade, maybe two, of continuous, consistent work. That’s what it will take for Poland to modernise its universities and science base, according to a peer-reviewed EU report. The report describes the country’s research performance and higher education system as ‘sub-optimal’. The authors state that a comprehensive renovation is needed to get the country research base up to speed.
