Ten of our students participate in a new scholarship program that supports young female researchers from Ukraine.
50 Ukrainian female students and doctoral students studying in STEM fields have been distinguished in the New Technologies for Women – Ukraine program (NTWU). This group includes representatives of the Warsaw University of Technology:
- Anna-Mariia Andrushko from the Faculty of Physics,
- Sofiia Dzhelhen from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology,
- Daria Komarynska from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology,
- Daria Koval from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering,
- Anastasiia Kuvshynova from the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science,

- Oleksandra Ovcharenko from the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science,
- Viktoriia Vlasenko from the Faculty of Physics,
- Oleksandra Zhyhylii from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology.
The program is supposed to help in the development of young Ukrainian women leaders who will change the world of technology and contribute to rebuilding a modern, digitized Ukraine. Each participant will receive a scholarship, the opportunity to take part in a mentoring program with experts in the field, the chance to attend workshops that will help them improve their hard and soft skills, the chance to attend career counseling sessions, and free admission to the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit 2023 conference.
New Technologies for Women – Ukraine is a joint venture between the Perspektywy Educational Foundation and Intel. In this way, the New Technologies for Girls program, which has been operating for eight years for Polish female STEM students, is being expanded.

The project's official inauguration took place on December 1, 2022, in Lublin during the "INCUBATING FREEDOM – Post War Innovative Transformation of Ukraine" international conference. At the event, our University was represented by the Rector, Prof. Krzysztof Zaremba.
