In recent years, Warsaw has seen the development of numerous multifunctional complexes emerging on the sites of former industrial facilities. This phenomenon has been examined by Dr Maria Arno, author of the article ‘Integrating Museum Narratives in the Adaptation of Post Industrial Heritage to Multifunctional Buildings in Warsaw, Poland’, published in the journal Muzeologia a Kulturne Dedicstvo.
Everyday problems often inspire revolutionary solutions. This was the case for Łukasz Bereś, a doctoral student at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology, who created a vehicle powered by a gantry type drive system. The idea for a machine that combines features of a bicycle, a car, and a gym, emerged in response to a very practical issue: getting to the university.
A consortium composed of Screenmed sp. z o.o. (leader) and the Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies (CEZAMAT) at the Warsaw University of Technology has been named among the winners of the STEP A – Biotechnologie competition. The StepDiag project titled “Functionalised magnetocatalytic nanoparticles in lab on foil systems and digital microfluidics for the detection of medical biomarkers” has received funding of 9,992,666.43 PLN.
The Warsaw University of Technology has taken 202nd place in Europe in the latest edition of the QS World University Rankings: Europe 2026, while also ranking third in Poland (behind the University of Warsaw and the Jagiellonian University) and confirming its position as the highest‑ranked technical university in the country.
