Researchers at the Faculty of Material Science and Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology are investigating the possibility of producing insulation foams from the residues of post-consumer PUR insulation foam waste, obtained from the dismantling of refrigerators, freezers, and other refrigeration equipment.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digitalisation Krzysztof Gawkowski appointed new members of the NASK Scientific Council. Professor Krzysztof Szczypiorski is among the experts who have joined the Council from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology at the University of Warsaw (WEiTI). Professor Szczypiorski is head and co-founder of the Division of Cybersecurity at the Institute of Telecommunications at WEiTI, co-founder and head of the POB Research Centre for Cybersecurity and Data Science at WUT, as well as head of the MBA Cybersecurity Management postgraduate programme at the WUT Business School. 

A research team consisting of scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology and the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) has begun work on the identification of metabolic and structural changes in tissues of overloaded joints in sport horses. In the future, research findings may help to prevent the occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA).

The Centre for Innovation of the Warsaw University of Technology has announced the results of the first ‘Grant for a Prototype’ competition implemented by the Warsaw University of Technology from IDUB funds. Funding was awarded to 10 teams. 

An interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, physicists, and political scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology and the University of Warsaw has published a paper in the Journal of Informetrics analysing how publication authors' affiliation with major technology and IT corporations (commonly known as Big Tech) impacts the transfer of ideas in science.

Eight student research groups that received the Rector's Grant in 2023 showed off what they had managed to create, what they had learned and what challenges they encountered while implementing their projects. The event was part of the 21st Fairs of Student Research Groups and Organisations.

An interdisciplinary team from the Warsaw University of Technology has begun work on the concept of creating a network of smart devices (equipped with IoT technology) on our Central Campus. One such device will be a "smart lantern," equipped with a set of sensors, actuators, and systems for communication with other similar devices. Implementing this solution will provide users of the WUT campus with various conveniences, such as reducing light pollution.

The acceptance of applications ended on July 18.

Our University now has a new unit which will provide services for international students, doctoral students, staff members and guests. It is an important step in the WUT internationalisation strategy.

A laboratory for the storage and conversion of electrical energy, unique at the university, was launched in line with the priorities of environmentally friendly technical infrastructure as part of a teacher grant and in response to the increasing demand for practical education in the field of renewable energy sources.

The final stage of work on the technological solutions that Warsaw University of Technology doctoral students came up with has passed! A prize of PLN 120,000 for further idea development was awarded to a project using simple tools and gamification to help with respiratory therapy, created by the pd meds team.

For five days of intensive workshop work, more than 200 people discussed and drew possible visions for the spatial development of the Warsaw University of Technology campus. The results of the workshop are now being compiled by designers from the KAMPUS.PW team and the most likely scenarios for the transformation of the buildings and areas of the Warsaw University of Technology will be presented.

Between 2011 and 2014, Professor Krzysztof Sibilski and his research team developed a prototype of an innovative launcher for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that uses passive magnetic suspension. Continuing this work, his daughter, Anna Sibilska-Mroziewicz, Ph.D., under the supervision of Professor Edyta Ładyżyńska-Kozdraś, is defending her doctoral degree and co-designing a virtual model of the launcher, increasing the chance of its popularisation.

WUT researchers’ idea will help to estimate the risk and rate of arterial overgrowth and the risk of haemolysis in coronary artery disease. The project assumes the creation of three-dimensional models based on CT data, reflecting the geometries of the arteries.

As part of the CyberSummer@WUT-3 competition, Stanislaw Tabisz, a student at the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science of the Warsaw University of Technology, prepared a piece of VR software used in therapy for people with intellectual disabilities.

Is it possible to prevent signal interference, which impacts the quality of positioning autonomous cars, among other things? Scientists at the Warsaw University of Technology have been working on such solutions.

A tattoo that monitors a patient's health? It may sound exotic, but not for the scientists from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology, who worked on the development of a reference electrode for an 'electronic tattoo', i.e. a non-invasive analytical device with sensors placed on its surface, as part of the BIOTECHEMED-2 grant.

First, they practiced appearing in front of the camera, then they met with journalists to tell them about their research within 7 minutes. Polytechnic scientists took part in the first edition of Scientists and Journalists Speed Dating at the Warsaw University of Technology, which took place on November 16.
