• Academics
Tradition of university education is the best its own research staff. This is achieved by continuously high level of education at the undergraduate, master's and doctoral programs. Faculty create not only graduates of Warsaw University of Life Sciences. Employs trained professionals are many other academic institutions, domestic and foreign.
WULS staff are appreciated by government and NGOs. Many of them act as experts, including the Polish state bodies, and even on the agenda of the EU and the UN.
One of the priorities for research activities is broad collaboration of researchers from the Agricultural University scientists from other research centers in the country and abroad.
Note with satisfaction the increase in the number of doctoral degrees earned, the number of doctoral students, as well as submitted and grants awarded for research.
Extremely important to us for participation in research, education and implementation programs and supporting them, supporting collaboration between industry research, education and the economy, co-financed by the Structural Funds and the like. This is what allows you to create strong research teams and modernization of research infrastructure.

• HR Excellence in Research for WULS (May 19,2017)
It is given to those institutions that apply the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
The ‘HR Strategy for Researchers’ supports research institutions and funding organizations in the implementation of the Charter & Code in their policies and practices. The concrete implementation of the Charter & Code by research institutions will render them more attractive to researchers looking for a new employer or for a host for their research project. Funding organisations implementing the Charter & Code principles will contribute to the attractiveness of their national research systems and to the attractiveness of the European Research Area more generally.
