The launch of the third student satellite from the Warsaw University of Technology is planned for early 2024. The main mission of PW-Sat3 will be to test the propulsion system that will make the device burn up faster in the atmosphere, reducing space litter.

Experts from Poland and Norway are collecting and analysing information that will help understand how people travel around cities. The conclusions will be used to define actions that would promote a wider use of environmentally-friendly means of transport. The work is performed by a team from the WUT Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science, headed by Professor Maciej Grzenda.

What happened at our University in the past 12 months? What events and situations will we remember the most? Welcome to the summary!

The Warsaw University of Technology will receive additional funds for cooperation with Ukrainian universities. An agreement in this area was signed by the WUT Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Professor Jan Słyk and Director of the NAWA Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange, Dawid Kostecki, PhD.

Researchers from the Faculty of Physics of the Warsaw University of Technology and Białystok University, thanks to their cooperation with Japanese and Dutch scientists, have proposed a novel method of recording 3D holographic images. The results of their work were published in „Nature Communications”.

Christmas and New Year's is always a special time. On this occasion, the Rector of our University, prof. Krzysztof Zaremba wishes everyone all the best. – These wishes are not just on my behalf, but also on behalf of all the Rectors – emphasizes our Rector. 

Teodor Sawicki and Katarzyna Połczyńska from the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering and the Power Engineering Student Research Group have developed a project of a microgrid powered only with renewable energy sources. Such a solution could provide energy self-sufficiency for buildings and even for cities. 

Work on materials important for energy storage and conversion has become particularly important in recent times. This has been influenced by the changes and challenges facing the modern world. How do the activities of researchers at the Faculty of Physics of Warsaw University of Technology fit into this strategic research trend?

Jacqueline Van Ovost, general of the United States Air Force, head of the US Transport Command, visited the Warsaw University of Technology. During her meeting with students, doctoral students and staff members, she talked about her professional experience and answered the participants’ questions.  

Ten of our students participate in a new scholarship program that supports young female researchers from Ukraine.

The NARSIS project, which included researchers from the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering, received the French "Trophée des Etoiles de l'Europe" award in the innovation category.

Representatives of the Warsaw University of Technology and KEPCO International Nuclear Graduate School signed an agreement concerning the student exchange program. This is a continuation of the collaboration that began in 2020.

We would like to thank everyone who visited our event and supported the fundraiser for the Christmas Grant for students and doctoral students of the Warsaw University of Technology. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have raised a record amount of PLN 33,794.

A new event organised in the framework of the H2020 European research project NL4XAI next December, will focus on the issue of how the quality of algorithms in this area should be assessed in the emerging field of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI).

Prof. M. Stanley Whittingham received an honorary doctorate from the Warsaw University of Technology. This outstanding chemist, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize, has gained recognition for his work on lithium-ion batteries. This area has also been developed for years by scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology. Why is this such an important topic? What is worth knowing about it? And what is it like to know a Nobel Prize winner?

How many times have you heard that Polish scientists create publications and receive patents that only a few specialists know of? A team from the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Chemistry shows that our solutions may become a breakthrough, be recognized internationally and introduced to the market.

Our University welcomed Prof. M. Stanley Whittingham – winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He received an honorary doctorate from the Warsaw University of Technology, and also met with representatives of the University of Technology and gave an open lecture.

TU Delft University of Technology (Netherlands), Gdańsk University of Technology (Poland) and ETH Zurich (Switzerland) join the ENHANCE Alliance on its journey towards a European University. The ENHANCE Alliance includes the Warsaw University of Technology.

From the Warsaw University of Technology to space? It’s possible! Pablo Álvarez Fernández, who graduated from our university, is one of the astronauts selected by the European Space Agency.

Prof. M. Stanley Whittingham – a world-renowned chemist, co-founder of lithium-ion battery technology and 2019 Nobel Prize winner was awarded a honoris causa doctorate from the Warsaw University of Technology. This is a token of appreciation for the contribution of the researcher in the development of science and its practical use.
