ThechallengesfacingWarsawUniversityarenotdifferentfromthosefacingotherPolishuniversities,butbecauseofitssize,capitallocationandpastachievements,WarsawUniversityshouldsetstandardsforotheruniversities.Themostimportanttaskfacinguniversitiesistoprovideahighlevelofeducationtoanever-largernumberofstudents.ThistaskmustbeaccomplisheddespiteinsufficientfundingforeducationandscienceinPolandandarealthreatofdecreasingrevenuesfromtuitionfees.Suchcircumstancesmakeitnecessarytoimproveinternalorganization,toseekadditionalsourcesofrevenuetocovercurrentexpendituresandinvestmentsandtoreduceoperationalcosts.

Thisentailsprimarilydefiningthekeyareasofscientificresearchandtheprojectednumberofundergraduate,MAandPh.D.students.Theratioofundergraduateandgraduatestudentswillvarythroughouttheuniversityfromdepartmenttodepartment,reflectingthevaryingdemandonthelabormarketfordifferentkindsofspecialistswithagivenlevelofeducation.Nonetheless,itseemsdesirabletoincreasethenumberofdoctoralcandidatesinalldepartmentswherethisispossible.

Efficientmanagementenablingtheimplementationoftheseself-assignedtaskswilldependinlargemeasureontheproperorganizationandstructureofindividualdepartmentsandoftheuniversityasawhole.

Thecurrentorganizationalstructureoftheuniversityistheresultofvariousprocessesandactions,notallofwhichwerealwaysrational.Theresultantstructuredevelopedasaresultoftradition,availablefacilitiesandevenpersonalrelationships,oftenleadingtomanyinconsistenciesintheorganizationalstructure.Althoughtherearemanyexamplesofsuccessfulinter-departmentalcooperationandthreeinterdisciplinaryprogramshavebecomewell-established,inter-departmentalbarrierscontinuetolimitstudentaccesstoalltheavailableuniversityresources,contributetohighercostsofeducation,andinmanycaseslimittheoptimalutilizationoffaculty.

Theprojectedchangesinthenumberofstudentsandtheresultingexpansionoftasksmustbetakenintoconsiderationwhenplanningchangesintheorganizationandlocationofdepartments.Itshouldbenotedthatuntil2005thepopulationof19to24-year-oldsinPolandwillremainconstantorincreaseslightly（from3,830,000in1999,to3,858,000in2000,and3,948,000in2005）.By2010,thispopulationwilldropto3,368,000,andafurtherdropisexpectedtosome2,300,000after2015.However,thedecreaseinthenumberofpotentialapplicantswillprobablybeoffsetbyincreaseddemandforschooling;

thus,adropindemandforeducationinWarsawUniversityshouldnotbeexpected,assumingitwillmaintainitscompetitiveadvantageoverotherpublicandprivateuniversities.Theuniversity'

sleadingpositionwilldependonhowwellitcankeepupwiththeknowledgerevolution,howeffectivelyitprovidesalearning-friendlyenvironment,andhowsuccessfullyitdevelopsitsinterdisciplinaryeducationprogram.IbelievethatWarsawUniversitywillhavemanymorestudentscomingfromWesternandCentral-EastEuropeancountries.

Onecanexpectthatinthisdecadethetrendsobservedrecentlywillcontinue,anditshouldnotbedifficulttoidentifythedisciplineswhichwillenjoywell-earnedpopularity.Ithinkthatthisgroupwillincludeallthesocialsciencesandeconomics,somelanguagestudies,computerscienceandbiotechnology.Departmentsorinstitutesofferingsuchstudiesshouldhaveespeciallygoodconditionsfordevelopmentandbegivenspecialconsiderationinuniversityfinancialandinvestmentplans.Indrawingupdevelopmentplans,wecannotignoretheexistingsituationinordertoavoidthecollapseofsomestrongandleadingdisciplinesinouruniversitywhicharenotnecessarilyincludedonthelistofmost-sought-afterdisciplines.However,Iwouldliketostressthattheabsenceofacertaindisciplineorthepoorleveloffacultyteachingacertaincourseshouldnotbeusedasanargumentagainstdevelopingsuchadisciplineorcourseifitisconsideredimportantbyappropriateuniversityauthorities.
