WUT life 

• We celebrated the first anniversary of the launch of the “Excellence Initiative – Research University” project.
• Warsaw University of Technology played for the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. We raised more than PLN 12,000 in all of our auctions and collections.
• We have been helping primary and secondary school students who need computers to study. Almost 30 laptop computers, a dozen or so desktop computers, monitors, keyboards, mice and components were donated as part of our collection project implemented in partnership with Fundacja Sarigato (Hakersi projects) and the team behind the “Uwolnij Złomka” campaign. We also contributed to a campaign aimed to collect computer equipment for students from Warsaw. The Warsaw University of Technology signed a special agreement with the Capital City of Warsaw for that purpose.
