ATTENTION: great competition!
With great pleasure, we announce a competition as part of the project “Maintenance of an Integrated Research Infrastructure for Media and Behavioral Studies at the LBM UW” (No. 157/561556/SPUB/SP/2023).
Purpose of the competition: to involve employees of the University of Warsaw who wish to conduct research using biometric and behavioral measurement tools and to develop their scientific potential.
We invite all University of Warsaw employees to participate — including those who do not yet have experience with biometric measurements but understand their value and have ideas for their application. The LBM UW team will provide training in equipment operation as well as substantive and organizational support.
Please note – the regulations have been updated on 7 November 2025. This version should be regarded as the official one.

Professor Tomasz Gackowski and the spiral of silence
Why do many Poles, despite holding strong views, hesitate to express their opinions publicly?
Prof. Tomasz Gackowski discusses the mechanisms of the spiral of silence, self-censorship, and their implications for public debate in interviews for the UW Science Service and Rzeczpospolita.
From Vision to Lab: Our Chapter on Building Media Research Labs
We are pleased to announce the publication of a book dedicated to the creation and operation of media research laboratories - Creating Communication and Media Research Labs: A Blueprint for Success. This is the first publication to focus not on research outcomes, but on the processes and practices behind establishing such labs.
The volume, published by Palgrave Macmillan, includes our chapter: “The Laboratory of Media Studies (LMS): The Lab of Social Narratives, Opinions, Behaviors, and Experiences”, authored by dr Karolina Brylska and prof. Tomasz Gackowski.
