The
University of Wrocław (, UWr; ) is a
public research university in
Wrocław,
Poland. It is the largest institution of higher learning in
Lower Silesian Voivodeship, with over 100,000 graduates since 1945, including some 1,900 researchers, among whom many have received the highest awards for their contributions to the development of scientific scholarship.
The university was founded in 1945, replacing the previous German
University of Breslau. Following the
territorial changes of Poland's borders, academics primarily from the
Jan Kazimierz University of
Lwów restored the university building, which had been heavily damaged in the
1945 Battle of Breslau.
