Professor Ryszard Tadeusiewicz with the title of AGH University Honorary Professor

“Today, when awarding the title of AGH University Honorary Professor to Professor Tadeusiewicz, we express our deepest respect and gratitude for his outstanding accomplishments, engagement, and passion which have been enriching our university and community for decades now. In his work and commitment are not only an inspiration, but also a role model for all who wish to devote their life to science and education,” Rector Jerzy Lis said. “Your work has left undeniable traces in the history of our university and our hearts. I sincerely congratulate you on your rich academic career. For years, you have been raising the prestige of our Academy. You have always supported young researchers by showing them the right path and passing on some of your wealth of experience. On this special day, we would like to express our gratitude for your effort and dedication,” Rector Lis emhasised.

“According to the AGH University book of traditions, the title of honorary professor is the highest dignity that the university may confer on an employee, in recognition of their outstanding merits in scientific, teaching, organisational, and social activity. I do not need to convince anyone that in all these areas Professor Ryszard Tadeusiewicz's achievements are outstanding. The ceremony associated with conferring the title is always a grand celebration for the university and the faculty applying for it."

“(...) I will avail myself of the privilege of a more personal, long-winded account and present the Honourable Candidate subjectively. (...) What could be more honourable for a scientist than to deliver a laudation to his master, mentor, supervisor, and patron? Professor Tadeusiewicz has been playing all these roles in relation to me for 35 years. Dates on the calendar, circumstances and names of functions change, but this relationship remains the same.”
