Efforts to better utilise 2D materials continue. In their latest study published in “Acta Materialia”, our physicists examined unique structures just three atoms thick: molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) and tungsten disulphide (WS₂). By applying a graphene layer, they aimed to determine how the physical properties of these structures would change.

A team of researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) has developed the first ambipolar Organic Electrochemical Transistor (OECT) fabricated via electropolymerisation, capable of operating in aqueous environments. Their unconventional approach enables the direct formation of thin, hydrophilic semiconducting layers within the transistor channel—a significant advancement in organic electronics.

As part of the Open Science programme, we funded or co-financed the publication of scientific papers in the OA format. The programme aimed to increase the number of publications in prestigious scientific journals.

As part of the four editions of the competition for Rector’s grants for student research groups, 49 projects were financed from the IDUB programme funds.

Natalia Izbeska was the winner of the 1st edition of the competition Three Minute Thesis® at the Warsaw University of Technology, funded by the IDUB programme. During her presentation, she talked about her doctoral thesis. Izdebska is working on increasing the capacity of batteries based on bivalent metals (Mg, Ca) through the use of electrolyte additives. 

As part of the Mobility PW programme, funding was provided for internships and study visits, trips associated with the service of unique research equipment and trips aiming to conduct research for a doctoral thesis, among other things.

Thanks to co-funding from IDUB, Metal Structures Student Research Group has organised a construction competition addressed to students of construction, architecture and mechanical engineering, as well as high school students. 

The application period closed on 20 March.

The 2025 Open Science application period closed on 19 February.

We warmly invite you to register for the Polish language courses organised as part of the WUT Employee Development Support Programme, funded by the IDUB project. The courses are conducted by experienced lecturers from the WUT Foreign Language Centre.

Natalia Izdebska won the jury’s first prize and the audience award 

How can you present your research in just three minutes, without any additional aids, and in an engaging way? This is the challenge that ten finalists of the Warsaw University of Technology edition of the 3MT® competition – doctoral students from WUT – will face. We invite you to join this exciting event.

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.

The acceptance of applications ended on August 1.

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.
