As Confucius, the great Chinese thinker, once said, “it is a pleasure to learn and to apply what one has learned at the right time.” This year, once again, it will be possible to see how knowledge translates into practice, and how the hours students spend working on projects turn into results and achievements that influence our surroundings and everyday lives. On 7 and 8 October, the 23rd Fair of Student Research Groups “KONIK” will take place, and we warmly invite you to attend.
The latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2027 (THE WUR), featuring a record number of higher education institutions, have now been published. Here is how our University performed in this year’s ranking.
The results of the latest edition of the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) have been announced. It is one of the world’s most prestigious university rankings, assessing institutions across 57 academic subjects grouped into five fields: natural sciences, medical sciences, social sciences, life sciences and engineering. Universities are assessed on several criteria, including the quality of publications, citations, international co-authorship and academic awards.
The KNR Drone team from Warsaw University of Technology took third place in the international Student Unmanned Aerial Systems Competition (SUAS), held in Tulsa, USA, from 14 to 17 September 2026. A total of 57 teams from around the world took part in the competition.
Its main objective is to develop and implement an innovative functionality for a field controller designed to operate at the point where a microgrid connects to the distribution system operator (DSO) grid. The controller, equipped with the new functionality, will enable two-way communication between microgrids and the DSO grid. This will help increase the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the energy mix, reduce non-market redispatching, improve the management of local renewable energy sources, energy storage systems and loads within the microgrid, and increase public acceptance of green energy.
Can you explain your research in just a few minutes? That's the challenge facing contestants in Three Minute Thesis® (3MT®), one of the world's leading science communication competitions. This year marks the third edition of the competition at Warsaw University of Technology, and for the first time we're joining forces with the Medical University of Warsaw. More disciplines, more groundbreaking research, more excitement. What's in store this year?
