Why Warsaw ?
Information about Warsaw.
Warsaw (in Polish – Warszawa) is the capital of Poland. It is located on the Vistula
River, roughly 260 kilometres (160 mi) from the Baltic Sea and 300 kilometres
(190 mi) from the Carpathian Mountains. Its population in 2010 was estimated at
1,716,855 residents with a greater metropolitan area of 2,631,902 residents,
making Warsaw the 10th most populous city proper in the European Union.

Warsaw is also known as the “phoenix city” due to the fact it has survived many
wars throughout its history. Most notably, the city had to be painstakingly rebuilt
after the extensive damage it suffered from World War II, during which 80% of its
buildings were destroyed.
The weather
The climate has four seasons- spring, summer, autumn and winter. Poland has a
moderate climate with both maritime and continental elements. This is due to
humid Atlantic air which collides over its territory with dry air from the Eurasian
interior. As a result, the weather tends to be capricious and the seasons may look
quite different in consecutive years. This is particularly true for winters, which are
either wet, of the oceanic type, or - less often - sunny, of the continental type.
Generally, in north and west Poland the climate is predominantly maritime, with
gentle, humid winters and cool, rainy summers, while the eastern part of the
country has distinctly continental climate with harsh winters and hotter, drier
summers.

Main figure
Polish Mermaid
Wars and Sawa
Basilisk
Golden Duck
Stone Bear
Description
The Warsaw Mermaid Statue Presented as half fish and half woman. Images of a mermaid
have been used on the crest of Warsaw as its symbol. From the middle of
14th century. Legend tells that once upon a time two mermaid sisters swam to the shores of
the Baltic Sea from their home in the depths. They were truly beautiful, even though they
had fish tails instead of legs. One of them decided to swim further towards the Danish
straits. Now she can be seen sitting on a rock an the entry to the port of Copenhagen. The
second swam to the seaside town, Gdańsk. And then, up the Vistula River (…)then she came
out of the Water (…) to rest. She liked it so much that she decided to stay. The fishermen who
used to live in this area noticed that when they were fishing, someone was agitating the
waters of the Vistula River , tangling their nets and freeing fish from their traps. They
decided to catch the culprit and get even with him once and for all. But when they heard the
enchanting song of the mermaid, they gave up their plans and came to love the beautiful
woman-fish. From that time, every evening, she entertained them with her wonderful
singing. But one day, a rich merchant strolling on the banks of the Vistula River caught sight
of the little mermaid. He decided to catch her and keep her as a prisoner, and then make
money by showing her at fairs. The merchant quickly put into practice his wicked scheme. He
caught the mermaid by a trick and held her as a prisoner in a wooden shed, with no access to
the water. Her cries were heard by a young farm-hand (…), who with the help of a friend
freed her one night. The mermaid, in recognition of the fact that the inhabitants had come to
her aid, swore that if they were ever in danger, she would come to protect them. That is why
the Warsaw mermaid is armed with a sword and a shield, for the protection of our
city. (According to book “Warsaw in short” by www.warsawtour.pl)
In one version King Kazimierz Odnowiciel, while on his way from Kraków to Gniezno, came
across a poor fisherman’s hut. The hungry king found his way to the hut thanks to the
smoke and the smell of fresh food. As he was having some fish from the night’s catch, the
fisherman told the king the story of his family which had just recently grown bigger thanks
to the arrival of two marvellous twins. The poor fisherman and his wife could not baptise
the babies, though, because there was no church in the area. The king, who had really
enjoyed the meal, wanted to pay the peasants with gold, but they, according to the old
Polish tradition of hospitality, refused to take any payment. Then the king asked them for
one more favour – he asked to be the twins’ godfather at their baptism that he would
organize. An altar was set up on a hill, and a priest commissioned by King Kazimierz named
the twins Wars (the boy) and Sawa (the girl). And King Kazimierz announced that Pietrko
Rybak (Peter Fisherman) would from then on be called Piotr Wars, the royal fisherman, the
father of Wars and Sawa, and the owner of the vast forest. The king also told him that one
day, when a village began to take shape near his hut, that he should give it a name derived
from his new surname – and that the village would carry that name forever.
Another version of the legend says that a long, long time ago there was a tiny hut standing
at the shores of the Vistula River. Wars, a fisherman, and his wife Sawa lived there. One day
a hunt was organized in the area and Prince Ziemomysł, the owner of the estate, got lost in
the forest. He wandered around for many days and many nights and he finally reached the
fisherman’s hut. Wars and Sawa made the stranger welcome and in the morning the
grateful prince said, ‘You didn’t hesitate to take in a stranger and save him from hunger,
cold and wild animals. Therefore this land will forever be called Warsaw, so your kindness
can never be forgotten’.
A legend says that in the basements of the buildings located at the Old Town lives a Basilisk.
It guarded the treasures once stored there, and every man who tried to reach them was
killed by the gaze of the Basilisk, which turns men to stone. He was defeated in the end by a
wandering tailor who showed the monster a mirror. The Basilisk was petrified by its own
appearance, and hid away; from then on, he was no longer a threat to residents. Today on
the façade of the building there is a sign of the Basilisk, which is the symbol of the renowned
Warsaw restaurant of the same name.
A long, long time ago a princess who had been turned into a golden duck lived in the cellars
of Ostrogski Castle. People said that anyone who found her would be rich beyond their
wildest dreams. One year, on Kupala’s Night, a young cobbler went down into the cellars –
he was lucky and he met the golden duck, who promised him riches. However, she said
there was only one condition: she gave him a bag full of golden coins and said he had to
spend them all within one day and not share his riches with anyone. It was almost the end
of the day, and the boy broke the condition: he gave the last coin to a poor soldier. In a blink
of an eye, he lost everything he had purchased with the gold coins. And that’s when he
understood that money does not make you happy: true happiness comes from work and
good health. From that time onwards, he lived the good life of a master cobbler and nobody
ever heard about the Golden Duck again.
According to a romantic legend the stone bear lying in front of the Shrine of Our Lady of
Grace the Patron of Warsaw (Jesuit Monastery) is in fact enchanted, shy prince who’s
waiting for the one woman whose love can bring him back to manhood.

Name and Surname
Description
Fryderyk Chopin – a great Polish
composer.
“ A Varsovian by birth, a Pole at heart, a citizen of the world by virtue of his talent."
This is what Cyprian Kamil Norwid, a romantic visionary poet, said about Chopin.
A Polish composer of the 19th century whose adult life centred mainly on Paris. A Romantic
composer who wrote almost entirely for the piano, Chopin changed the world of keyboard
music forever. His distinctively expressive style is reflected in his many small-scale works
and two concertos he created for the piano.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Chopin
Maria Skłodowska- Curie
famous physicist and chemist.
Through her discovery of radium, Marie Curie paved the way for nuclear physics and cancer
therapy. Born of Polish parents, she was a woman of science and courage, compassionate
yet stubbornly determined. Her research work was to cost her her own life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie
–
John Paul II (1920-2005) – Pope
Probably the most famous Pole ever, Pope John Paul II was born Karol Jozef Wojtyla in the
small town of Wadowice in Poland. By being elected pope by the Catholic Church in 1978,
he became the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. This pope modernised the papacy and
spread his reach internationally through massive gatherings of Catholics and frequent
consultations with heads of state.
Lech Walesa- leader of the
Solidarity movement
This feisty, moustachioed electrician from Gdansk shaped the end of the 20th century as the
leader of the Solidarity movement that led Poland out of communism. Walesa's contribution
to the end of communism in Europe, and hence the end of the cold war, stands beside those
of his fellow Pole, Pope John Paul II, and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
Jozef Pilsudski-marshal
Undoubtedly the dominant figure in Polish history of the first half of the twentieth Century.
He was without doubt a major figure in European history and, at two points at least, in
November 1918 and in the Summer of 1920, World history was profoundly influenced by his
actions (in 1918 he led the Polish nation to independence, and in 1920 he stopped the Red
Army’s aim to invade Western Europe.
Tadeusz Mazowiecki- first postcommunist premier
Former Polish dissident, journalist of the Catholic newspaper, first post-communist premier
in Eastern Europe, and a UN special human-rights investigator in former Yugoslavia. One of
the founders of the "Solidarity" movement, a lawyer and author, a staunch human-rights
fighter, persecuted for his thoughts and activities, a Catholic and close friend of the Pope
John Paul II.
Tadeusz Kosciuszko (1746-1817)
–general
This great Polish patriot was leader of the forces taking part in the national uprising of 1794
(the so-called “Kosciuszko insurrection”). He had distinguished himself previously during the
American War of Independence, notably as a brigadier at the battle of Saratoga in 1777.
Kazimierz Pulaski (1747-1779)commander
of
the
Bar
Confederacy
The commander of the Bar Confederacy and defender of Jasna Gora against the Russians.
He commanded a cavalry brigade in George Washington's army during the American War of
Independence. He died of wounds inflicted at the Battle of Savannah.
Adam Mickiewicz- poet
As a poet Mickiewicz first gained attention with his “Ballads and Romances”. This collection
of poems opened the romantic era in Polish literature. Following this, Mickiewicz wrote the
fantastic drama “Forefathers' Eve” (1823-32), in which Poland had a messianic role among
the nations of Western Europe. The drama presents a vision of the country where the
sufferings of Polish nation are equated with the Passion of Christ.
Witold Gombrowicz- writer
Novelist, short-story writer, dramatist, and best known for the novel “Ferdydurke” (1937)
and other absurdist satires. The dominant theme of his writings is the innate immaturity of
human beings.
Czeslaw Milosz- poet
Polish author, translator and critic, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1980.
Milosz's poetry and essays are a mixture of autobiographical confessions dealing with the
effects of exile, religious or metaphysical fragments, as well as historical and literary
analyses. Acclaimed as a Catholic poet, Milosz has also a strong pantheist element in his
work.

Wislawa Szymborska- poetess
Poet and translator, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996 at the age of
seventy-three. Szymborska is one of the few woman poets who have received the prize. Her
early works were born more or less within the straitjacket of Socialist Realism. Later she
expressed her pessimism about the future of mankind in poems that are written in a
misleadingly casual manner or in an ironic tone.
Krzysztof Penderecki- composer
He is a “doctor honoris causa” at several universities, and has been awarded numerous
distinctions, including several Grammies and the award for the best composer at the Midem
Festival of Cannes (2000).
Henryk

brought him international acclaim. Preisner received numerous prizes for his dedication to
film music including a Silver Bear from the Berlin Film Festival and The Los Angeles Critics

A Polish vocalist, ex-wife of jazz violinist Michał Urbaniak, and ironically much more popular
in the USA than in Poland. She started her career in the late 1950s, within a few years
becoming one of the most popular jazz artists. In the late 1960s and early 1970s began to
travel overseas, finally settling in New York. She has frequently worked with leading
contemporary musicians, including Archie Shepp, Lester Bowie, Bobby McFerrin and Sting.
Better known as “Basia”, she is a Polish pop and jazz singer. She has forged a wildly
successful international career after moving to the UK at the beginning of the 1980s. She
was the female singer for the group Matt Bianco and pianist Danny White, and then
debuting her own solo projects in 1987. She has released a great number of successful
records, and while recognized in Britain she is almost completely unknown in her native
country.
Copernicus is said to be the founder of modern astronomy. Born on February 19, 1473, in
Torun, Poland, Nicolaus Copernicus was destined to become, through the eventual
publication of his heliocentric planetary theory 70 years later, one of the seminal figures in
the history of scientific thought.
Jan Heweliusz- astronomer
Polish 17th- century astronomer from Gdansk, who studied comets, catalogued the stars,
and constructed some of first accurate maps of the moon's surface. In recognition of his
scientific endeavours, one of the moon's craters is named after him.
Henryk
oceanographer
A Polish scientist, oceanographer and Antarctic explorer. His name has been given to a
phenomenon of a rainbow in the shape of a halo that forms around the sun as light is
refracted through ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Arctowski-
Ernest Malinowski-sociologist
In 1859 he submitted a very courageous plan to the Government of Peru for building a
railroad line connecting the Pacific coast with the abundant resources of the country's
interior. It climbs from sea level at Callao to an elevation of 15,806 feet by means of many
zigzags and double zigzags. He is also a famous sociologist.
Kazimierz Funk
biochemist
A Polish biochemist born in Warsaw, who studied in Berlin and Berne (Switzerland), worked
in Paris, Berlin and London before eventually settling in America and becoming a US citizen
in 1920. He was the first to discover a vitamin - a substance containing an amine group, one
of the most important nutrients in human health. He put forward the hypothesis that
vitamins could cure diseases like scurvy. Funk also carried out important work into animal
hormones and into cancer, diabetes and ulcers. He improved methods for drug manufacture
and developed several new commercial products.

Ludwig Zamenhoff (1859-1917)physician and linguist
A Polish-born Jew, a great physician and linguist, born in Bialystok and known for the
invention of Esperanto - a pan-European language that he hoped would bring understanding
between all the people across the world, notwithstanding national distinctions and cultural
diversity. In fact, Esperanto was essentially a “corrected” Latin. All aspects of grammar and
syntax, including the formation of derived words, was relentlessly regularized so that the
language could be learnt in the least possible time. Eventually nothing came of it, because
Esperanto was not accepted by many people; however, a lot of research is still being done
into it and there are 8 million speakers worldwide.
Korczak Ziolkowski (1908-1992)architect and sculptor
He was of Polish descent, being born in Boston, and was a completely self-taught architect
and sculptor. He never took any lessons in art, began experimenting with woodwork as a
teenager, and was soon sculpting in wood and stone. In 1939 Ziolkowski briefly worked as
an assistant on the construction of Mount Rushmore Monument in South Dakota,
commemorating the four greatest US presidents. Later on was got involved in many other
cultural projects of the time and became a distinguished artist.
Irena Szewinska-sportswoman
From the age of 18 until she was 34, Szewinska had one of the longest (and most glorious)
careers in international sport. Between 1964 and 1980 she participated in five Olympic
Games, winning seven medals, three of them gold. She also broke six world records and was
the first woman to hold world records at 100m, 200m and 400m at the same time.

Dariusz Michalczewski- boxer
Roman Polanski- film director
Andrzej Wajda- film director
Krzysztof Kieslowski- film director
Krzysztof Zanussi- film director
A ski jumper, and the most famous Polish sportsmen of today. Malysz is known for his
spectacular success at the prestige Tournament of Four ski jumps and soon after this in ski
flights in Harrahow. Later came the triumphs in Salt Lake City, Spporo, Willingen, Falun,
Trondheim well as in Holmenkolen. At the end of the season he set a new record for Poland
in Polanica - 218.5 m, and then he received the Crystal Ball for becoming World Champion
He was the best Polish football player in history. He was nicknamed “Rogal' (croissant), so
called by his team mates because Deyna's shots looked like croissants. His life was just like
his shots - unforeseeable.
The best walker in the world, he won 4 gold medals at the Olympics (Atlanta, Sydney and
Athens).
One of the most talented Polish footballers, debuting on the Polish national team at the age
of 20, an effective goal scorer (24 goals in 80 matches), has played for Italian football teams
such as Juventus Torino and AS Roma, and since then has settled permanently in Italy. After
finishing his professional career prematurely in 1988 he set up his own business.
Nevertheless he has remained closely related to football, serving as the vice-president of the
Polish Football Association and the main coach of the Polish national team.
A remarkably successful boxing champion of recent years, born in Gdańsk, came up through
Poland's state-run sports program as a boy and had a brilliant amateur career before turning
professional in 1991. Fighting mostly in neighbouring Germany, he began piling up wins and
was soon signed by Universum Boxing Promotions, one of the leading boxing promoters in
Europe. His aggressive style earned him the nickname “The Tiger”.
One of the most famous Polish directors and an Oscar winner. The story of Roman Polanski's
life is as tortuous and full of incident and tragedy as one of his dark films. Polanski survived
the Nazi atrocities committed in the Krakow ghetto, but lost his mother in a concentration
camp gas chamber. He spent a large part of his life in the US and made several important
films with top American actors, such as Chinatown (with Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, and
John Huston), and Rosemary’s Baby (with Mia Farrow). In 1969 he experienced another
personal tragedy when his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson
Family. In 1978 he fled to France where he has directed Frantic, Death and the Maiden, The
Ninth Gate, The Pianist, and Oliver Twist (2005).
On Sunday 26 March 2003, Hollywood acknowledged the talent of one of the men
commonly regarded as the father of modern Polish cinema, by awarding Andrzej Wajda with
a special Oscar for lifetime achievement. Andrzej Wajda is considered by the world to be
Poland's finest directors, especially respected for his ability to engage the audiences'
emotions as well as their intellects. His films were considered political and rebellious,
especially the notorious Man of Marble. Many of his films were based on the famous books
of Polish writers, such as Ashes and Diamonds, The Wedding, The Promised Land and The
Maids of Wilko. In 2007 he finished another important film, Katyn.
Although probably the best-known Polish film director of the last two decades, Kieslowski
began by making documentaries. These films concentrated on aspects of Polish life, culture,
and political conditions under the Communist Party. Indeed it was these conditions that
helped spark the Solidarity movement that ultimately forced the Party to relinquish power
by way of new general elections. Among his best-known films are Camera Buff, A Short Film
about Killing and A Short Film about Love, and the The Decalogue cycle. Many of his films
were produced in France, such as the Three Colours trilogy and The Double Life of Véronique.
A director and producer, he studied not only film but also physics and philosophy, all of
which influenced his psychological films and which are often associated with the cinema of
moral concern - a tendency in Polish film of the 1970s. Among his notable films are The
Structure of Crystals, The Illumination, The Contract, Camouflage, In Full Gallop, and Life as a
Fatal Sexually Transmitted Disease.

Objectives: 2 years mater program supporting the best students from the whole World by the stipends funded by EU
within ERASMUS+ initiatives.
The EMARO Master is designed to promote a high-quality educational offer in the area of advanced and intelligent
robotics. After graduation the students will have mastered the different areas of robotics (Mathematical modeling,
Control Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical design) in order to be able to deal with Robotics systems as a
whole rather than just to concentrate on one particular area. The career prospects for EMARO graduates are very good
as the proposed courses are relevant to today’s high technology society. Students may take the master as a
professional terminal degree, or to join PhD programmes afterwards.
Duration and mobility:
The programme of study lasts two academic years (120 ECTS) split into four equally loaded semesters. The student has
to spend the first year in a European institution and the second year in another European institution.
Programme summary. The language of instruction is English, but local language and culture courses of the hosting
countries are included in the programme of study. The programme of the first two semesters is the same in the
consortium institutions, it provides the students with a solid interdisciplinary background across the main areas of
robotics (Cognition, Action, Perception). During the third semester, more specialised courses (varying from partner to
partner and based on the specific research strengths of the partners institutions) are proposed. The fourth semester is
devoted to the Master thesis.
Degrees awarded:
Students that graduate from EMARO masters course will obtain two masters degrees from the institutions where they
studied. The degrees are officially recognised and give full access to PhD study programmes. were successfully
completed by the student.
At Warsaw University of Technology robotics research activities are covering:

general robotics including the design and prototyping of novel robots, e.g. prototype of fast manipulator with
large work space, robots for cardio-surgery, mobile robots, and walking machines,

