Poland is one of the fastest-ageing societies in the European Union. Issues related to this demographic trend, including housing conditions for older people, adapting living environments to their needs and senior cohousing, have been at the centre of research conducted by Agnieszka Cieśla, PhD, an architect and urban planner from the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography at Warsaw University of Technology, for many years.

The EVE CURiE experiment, developed by members of the Student Astronautical Research Group (SKA), has successfully completed a stratospheric flight as part of the German-Swedish REXUS/BEXUS student programme. The project, which aims to investigate ways of increasing the electrical energy output of photovoltaic cells in space, reached an altitude of over 30 km during the BEXUS 36 Reflight campaign at the Esrange Space Center in Sweden.

An international team of scientists working on the STAR (Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC) experiment has achieved a breakthrough that brings us closer to understanding what carries baryon number – a fundamental property that distinguishes matter from antimatter. The research findings, involving experts from the Warsaw University of Technology, have been published in the prestigious journal Science.

A project led by Patrycja Baranowska, PhD, from CEZAMAT at the Warsaw University of Technology has been selected for funding under the FIRST TEAM FENG programme of the Foundation for Polish Science. The researcher will develop an innovative tissue-on-chip model to investigate the relationship between pancreatic cancer and diabetes. The research could contribute to the development of more effective diagnostic methods and therapies. The project has been awarded PLN 3,906,037.71 in funding.

A team from the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Civil Engineering is participating in the international DTERBIM project (Driving Transformation on Energy-efficient and circular Renovation through BIM). The initiative aims to develop a method that will accelerate the transformation of Europe’s construction sector towards energy-efficient, circular renovation.

Our doctoral student Michał Obara received the Best Paper Presentation Award at the Signal Processing: Algorithms, Architectures, Arrangements and Applications (SPA 2026) conference. The award-winning paper, presented by our researcher, focuses on improving image quality in positron emission tomography (PET), a technique used to visualise processes occurring in the body. The research is being conducted in cooperation with the National Centre for Nuclear Research as part of the IMPET project.
