Dr Katarzyna Warska has received the Prime Minister's Award for her contribution to science. The government honoured the literature researcher on the basis of her doctoral dissertation entitled. 'Bruno Schulz Goes to School. A Thematic Biography'.

The justification for the award appreciated the depiction of Bruno Schulz's life and the description of the circles of Polish, Jewish and Ukrainian intelligentsia from the turn of the 20th century to the Second World War. The evaluators emphasised that by choosing the genre of thematic biography, the author was able to present the themes of Bruno Schulz's life against a rich political and social background.

The dissertation, written under the supervision of prof. dr hab. Stanisław Rośek and defended at the Faculty of Languages in 2023, was submitted for the award by the University of Gdańsk and recommended by prof. dr hab. Przemysław Czapliński.
