Students from the Power Engineering Student Research Group at the Warsaw University of Technology have achieved success in the 2025 MEWy competition, receiving support for the development of the “Dual Power from the Sea: Integrating Wind and Wave Energy” project. Their concept involves harnessing wave energy by integrating a system of wave converters with offshore wind farm infrastructure.
The Foundation for Polish Science (FNP) concluded the third call for proposals under the International Research Agendas initiative. Three selected projects will receive a total of nearly PLN 90 million in funding. One of these is the Centre for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence, which is to be established under the direction of Prof. Przemysław Biecek from the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science at WUT. FNP awarded the project PLN 30 million in funding.
The results of the MAESTRO 16 competition of the National Science Centre have been announced. The project "Organ-on-a-Chip Systems as new solutions in Preclinical Research", led by Professor Zbigniew Brzózka from the Faculty of Chemistry, has been awarded funding.
Paweł Rzążewski, PhD from the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science of the Warsaw University of Technology has won a grant in the SONATA BIS-14 competition of the National Science Centre. The project "From dense graphs to sparse graphs and back" received funding in the amount of PLN 1,847,080.
Members of the Żelbetnik Student Research Group are working on creating a digital "twin" of the building that houses the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology. The aim of the grant obtained is to learn and then apply the knowledge gained from BIM technology in the assessment of the technical condition of the existing building. The supervisors of the Żelbetnik Student Research Group are Maria Włodarczyk, PhD. and Paweł Chudzik, MSc.
A team of students from four Warsaw universities – Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) (leading the consortium), University of Warsaw, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, and Medical University of Warsaw – is working on an innovative targeted therapy for liver cancer. As part of the HEPASWITCH_IGEM2025 project, they aim to develop a groundbreaking solution that could revolutionise treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The initiative is supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
