A dream for researchers and science enthusiasts worldwide, a symbol of everything that is greatest in science. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is a place that captivates with its impressive infrastructure, opportunities, and exceptional standing in the global research community. It is a place that our researchers are fortunate to call their second home. We visited them to gain a deeper understanding of what makes working at the world’s most renowned research facility so extraordinary.

The promotion of research and innovation in the production and use of renewable fuels was the central focus of the agreement signed on December 17, 2024, by Prof. Piotr Przybyłowicz, Dean of the Faculty of Automotive and Construction Machinery Engineering, and Czesław Siekierski, PhD, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. The meeting was also attended by Prof. Krzysztof Zaremba, Rector of the Warsaw University of Technology.

The revitalized appearance of the iconic Warsaw palm tree is, in part, the result of work by a team from WUT's Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering in collaboration with the Lubas company. Our specialists were responsible for designing and crafting the new leaves.

Let’s take a look at the most important moments of the last 12 months!

You can talk about science in an interesting, understandable and inspiring way. This has been proven by our doctoral students – finalists of the WUT edition of the 3MT® competition. They showed that you can successfully present your research in just a few minutes. Natalia Izdebska from the Faculty of Chemistry did it in the best way possible, winning the jury’s first prize and the audience award.

September saw the launch of the WaterSense - ASIR project, which aims to develop and market an innovative system for monitoring water quality in Poland. Scientists from 3 units of the WUT are involved in it: Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Chemistry and CEZAMAT (Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies). The project will last until 2027 and may revolutionise water quality monitoring in Poland and Europe.

A Kuwaiti-Polish archaeological mission while working in the Subija desert in northern Kuwait discovered a site that was most likely a courtyard or workshop for the production of jewellery and shell ornaments. The discovery dates to the Ubay period in Mesopotamia around 7700 years ago. Paweł Czernic, a PhD student at the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography at the Warsaw University of Technology, is a member of this fascinating mission.

Nearly 500 representatives of Kyiv and Lviv University of Technology, including almost 300 on-site, took part in activities organised by the Warsaw University of Technology as part of the National Academic Exchange Agency's ‘Solidarity with Ukraine - European Universities’ programme.
