Research and innovation

• Our student is the co-author of an invention designed to support the blind. It is Dotsnote – a prototype printer to make notes in Braille. How does it work?
• What can we do to save culinary recipes (often the priceless ones passed from one generation to another) from disappearing under a pile of cookbooks? Our students came up with a solution – Chefs’ app.
• WUT Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer Management (CZIiTT) to help Mazovian businesses innovate. A project featuring WUT CZIiTT has obtained an EU grant for that purpose.
• AI as a way to prevent preterm child birth. How is it possible? A team of researchers associated with the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology are working on the solution.
• Our researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry and Process Engineering, and from the Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies are working on a COVID-19 vaccine. It is to be simple and inexpensive to manufacture. The team are preparing for the animal studies stage and looking for an industry partner.
