Our doctoral researcher, Roman Gańczarczyk, MSc, together with Prof. Renata Rybakiewicz-Sekita from Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University and Prof. Eryk D. Głowacki from CEITEC in Brno, has investigated the stability of P3HT, an organic semiconductor used in bioelectronics. The researchers have demonstrated that, when exposed to light and involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species, the material itself undergoes oxidation and gradual degradation.

Natalia Izdebska took the first place and Adam Król the second place in the tenth edition of Falling Walls Lab Wrocław. This international competition brings together students, early-career researchers and professionals who present ideas for addressing major problems and future challenges. Natalia and Adam will represent WUT at the global final in Berlin.

Karol Abratkiewicz, PhD, from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology has published a book entitled “Introduction to Multidimensional Nonstationary Radar Signal Analysis Using Fourier Transforms”. The publication combines theory with practical applications, organises knowledge previously scattered across different sources and presents the author’s own problem-solving methods.

How many people touch the same door handle or light switch, or hold the same handrail or grab pole on a bus each day? Researchers from the Department of Chemistry and Polymer Technology at the Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology, have developed an antibacterial polymer composition – a material that can limit bacterial growth on the surfaces of components made from it.

On 22 September, the new laboratory of the Microelectronics and Photonics Competence Centre was officially opened at the Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies CEZAMAT of the Warsaw University of Technology.

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. 

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.

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 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.

Inauguration ceremony of the 2026/2027 academic year

The two universities aim to strengthen their cooperation by combining their expertise and experience even more closely than before. This integration of their potential is intended to lay the foundations for future federation and to build the position of a regional leader in the field of Engineering – Medicine – Society. The agreement was signed by WUT Rector Prof. Krzysztof Zaremba and MUW Rector Prof. Rafał Krenke.

Representatives of Japan’s High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) visited the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) in Świerk and the Warsaw University of Technology. During their visit, they learned about the progress of work on equipment for the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment and plans for its production.

2026 season review

Students from the WUT Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science took part in the IJCAI-ECAI 2026 conference in Bremen. It is one of the world’s leading events in artificial intelligence and holds the highest scientific ranking, A*. At the conference, our team presented a project that uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

A team led by Tomasz Gradowski, PhD, from the WUT Faculty of Physics has developed a new way of presenting ECG recordings. The results of the research have been published in the journal ‘Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine’.

Grigorii Chernyshov completes an internship

Have you ever wondered how members of the Warsaw University of Technology community spent their summer? Meet Maciej Lato, one of our doctoral students, who used his free time to compete in the Royal Ocean Racing Club Round Britain and Ireland Race, covering 2,168 nautical miles in 14 days, 20 hours and 17 minutes.

A new game set in Warsaw has appeared on Fortnite, one of the world’s largest gaming platforms. In ‘The Basilisk: Roguelike Hunt in Warsaw’, players set out in pursuit of the legendary Basilisk. One of the quests takes place in interiors inspired by our University’s Main Building.

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?

Members of the Digital Construction Student Research Group - Karolina Drabik, Jakub Sitnik, Do Trong Hinh and Filip Ćwik - together with the group’s supervisor, Kostiantyn Protchenko, PhD, took part in The BIM Challenge conference in Constanța, Romania. They returned with valuable experience and awards from the design competition.

Julia Robak, a student at the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology, cycled from Poland to Morocco, raising more than PLN 12,000 for the Cancer Fighters Foundation. Her expedition lasted 43 days and covered nearly 4,000 kilometres.

For aspiring physicists, the summer break is an opportunity to gain experience at the world’s leading research centres. In recent months, a team from the WUT Faculty of Physics spent time at several such centres, including GSI/FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) in Darmstadt, where they worked on experiments investigating the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions.

Two WUT teams in the final

A new Centre of Excellence for energy-efficient anti-icing technologies will be established at the Warsaw University of Technology. The NEXUS project, in which WUT is a consortium partner, has received funding under the HORIZON-WIDERA-2026-02-WIDENING-01 (Twinning) call of the Horizon Europe programme.
