The University of Silesia was recognised during this year\u2019s awards ceremony of the PR and Promotion of Polish Universities \u2018PRom\u2019 Association. An award went to the University\u2019s semi-annual popular science journal No Limits<\/em>, which has been published for several years now.<\/strong><\/p>\n The University of Silesia received a special award for No Limits<\/em> and was also a finalist in the university media category.<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \u201cThe digital revolution we are witnessing today is the changes caused by the development of computerisation and modern technologies. Rapid technological progress and widespread digitalisation have a huge impact on all areas of our lives, and some of the most spectacular changes can be observed on the press publishing market. Press titles are disappearing, and the circulation of printed dailies and weeklies is negligible compared to the circulation of a few years ago. The digital society we have become looks for information on the Internet. Or does it? It turns out that in the era of fake news, readers, looking for real information, return to titles they trust, and experts say that as long as there are readers willing to pick up a newspaper, printed press will not disappear. This year, the jury of our competition consists of people who enjoy turning pages of paper […] for the originality of the idea, for the courage to create something against the grain and to enter print \u2013 at a time when newspapers are moving to the online format and are looking for readers there. For the extraordinary quality of the graphic message and the high quality of the articles. In one word, for being old-school!”<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n No Limits<\/em> is the first popular science journal at the University of Silesia, which provides information about research conducted at the university in an interesting way. The materials are presented in an engaging and attractive way, which provokes thinking and self-exploration. Each issue has a different theme. Readers receive a well-designed, aesthetic and graphically attractive product. To archive that, No Limits<\/em> has established cooperation with designers from the Institute of Fine Arts of the University of Silesia. Each issue is a separate, individual project, and thematically matched illustrations are published on the cover.<\/p>\n The semi-annual is also available in\u00a0an online version<\/a>.<\/p>\n The No Limits <\/em>team consists of: Agnieszka Sikora, PhD \u2013 project leader and editor-in-chief, editors: Tomasz P\u0142osa, Adam Ba\u0142a, Weronika Cygan-Adamczyk, Ma\u0142gorzata K\u0142oskowicz, PhD, Olimpia Orz\u0105da\u0142a, Katarzyna Sucha\u0144ska, Maria Sztuka, Tomasz Grz\u0105\u015blewicz; translator: Artur Adamczyk, proofreader: Katarzyna Wyrwas, PhD, DLitt, Assoc.
