The 9^th edition of the interdisciplinary mpiBIM project has come to an end. Students from four Faculties of the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) – the Faculty of Architecture, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the Faculty of Environmental Engineering, and the Faculty of Management – took part in this inter-faculty initiative. This year’s task was to design the WUT Interdisciplinary Research Centre. The mpiBIM project has been conducted continuously since 2017.

As part of the government initiative “Atom at Universities”, a competence-building project at the Warsaw University of Technology has now ended. The undertaking, financed by the Ministry of Energy, aimed to prepare specialised engineers for Poland’s developing sector of nuclear power.

The Minister of Science and Higher Education has awarded PLN 13 023 552.19 to a consortium in which the Warsaw University of Technology is a partner, as part of the programme “Support for participation of Polish scientific teams in international projects of research infrastructure”. The funding will support the project: “Financing the activity of the Polish node of the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science – E-RIHS.pl”, to be implemented from 2026 to 2030.

The paper “Reliable Determination of Photoreaction Kinetics and Cyclization/Cycloreversion Quantum Yields for Dithienylethene Switches” by Jakub Drapała, PhD, and Krzysztof Durk, PhD, from the Faculty of Chemistry at WUT, has been highlighted on the inside front cover of the renowned journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. The work was conducted in collaboration with Katarzyna N. Jarzembska, PhD, and Radosław Kamiński, PhD, from the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Warsaw.

The Ministry of Science and Higher Education has announced the results of the 6^th edition of the “Student Research Groups Innovate” competition. The Warsaw University of Technology has been an active part of the initiative since the very beginning. The initiative enables the most talented students in student research groups to implement advanced research and development work and transfer the developed technologies to the economic sphere. 

Researchers collaborating within the STAR experiment, conducted at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, have obtained breakthrough results concerning the structure of the quantum vacuum and the dynamics of strong interactions. The findings have been published in Nature.
