How and when will the first plant grow on Mars? How do we create the conditions for life on such a demanding planet? What obstacles stand in the way of this? This is what a team of scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology, led by Prof. Robert Olszewski from the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography, is working on.
Nearly 500 representatives of Kyiv and Lviv University of Technology, including almost 300 on-site, took part in activities organised by the Warsaw University of Technology as part of the National Academic Exchange Agency's ‘Solidarity with Ukraine - European Universities’ programme.
A Kuwaiti-Polish archaeological mission while working in the Subija desert in northern Kuwait discovered a site that was most likely a courtyard or workshop for the production of jewellery and shell ornaments. The discovery dates to the Ubay period in Mesopotamia around 7700 years ago. Paweł Czernic, a PhD student at the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography at the Warsaw University of Technology, is a member of this fascinating mission.
September saw the launch of the WaterSense - ASIR project, which aims to develop and market an innovative system for monitoring water quality in Poland. Scientists from 3 units of the WUT are involved in it: Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Chemistry and CEZAMAT (Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies). The project will last until 2027 and may revolutionise water quality monitoring in Poland and Europe.
A special scholarship was awarded to 14 people studying or pursuing a doctorate at our University - this is in recognition of their scientific, sporting and artistic successes, their social and charitable activities and their involvement in the promotion of the Warsaw University of Technology.
The new app, PlaceFinder, developed by two students, makes it easier to find a seat on a train, even when PKP Intercity (Polish State Railways Intercity) reports no available seats. The app searches for available seats at different stages of the journey, combining them into a single, cohesive travel plan. The creators of the tool are Kazimierz Lipski, a WUT student, and Weronika Pieniak from the WIT Academy.
