Dr Rafal Sadej has become a committee member of European Network of Breast Development and Cancer. The ENBDC started in 2006 as a means of bringing together worlwide laboratories working on breast development and cancer. The idea was to raise awareness of each other’s research in order to foster contact, encourage technical exchange and collaboration, especially across disciplines, as well as to offer intellectual and information resources to the breast cancer research community as a whole.

Foreign Languages Centre of the University of Gdansk offers summer and one-year Polish language courses. The aim of the courses is to prepare the participants to use the Polish language at the B1 level, which is a prerequisite for starting study programmes taught in Polish.
