This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. On this occasion, on May 8, we pay special tribute to researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology who, several decades ago, reverse-engineered the design of the V-1 and V-2 rockets. Flowers were laid at the monument dedicated to their memory, located in front of the Electronics Building in Nowowiejska Street.
Aleksander Gryciuk, MSc, received the Best Presentation Award at the Microbial Innovation & Applications symposium, held as part of the 1st International Conference on Advancements of Microbiology: The relevance of microbes in tackling threats to health and environment (April 7–9, 2025, Warsaw).
LOT Aircraft Maintenance Services is implementing a product innovation focused on eliminating the currently used chemical and mechanical technologies for removing paint coatings from aluminum and composite primary and secondary aircraft structures. Researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology participated in the research work.

Can the worlds of engineering, technology, and art be combined? It turns out—they absolutely can! This is being demonstrated by students from two Warsaw universities—the Warsaw University of Technology and the Academy of Fine Arts—who joined forces to create the Vaporeware exhibition. The exhibition is organized by the 3D and Virtual Occurrences Studio at the Faculty of Media Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, together with the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art. Members of the Students' Robotics Association at the WUT collaborated on the scientific and technical aspects of part of the exhibition.
A team led by Marta Mazurkiewicz-Pawlicka, PhD, from the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology, will carry out the project entitled “Advanced hybrid nanomaterials for efficient photo(electro)catalytic water purification and hydrogen production.” The project is funded under the M-ERA.NET call.
