With a growing number of people suffering from melanoma, scientists worldwide are researching an effective therapy to prevent drug resistance among patients. A team of researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology is also a part of this group. 

In the competition for projects aiming to purchase equipment, 22 projects will receive fundings.

The closing date for the submission of applications for projects aiming to purchase equipment and instrumentation which refer to the research in the field of “Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering” or related topics fitting into the scope of the activity of the Priority Research Area “Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering” is 12 November 2021.

Statuettes of "Golden Cyborg" for accomplishments in the development of the information and communications technology industry were awarded during the meeting of the Committee of Electronics and Telecommunications of the Polish Academy of Sciences at the NASK headquarters. Professor Krzysztof Szczypiorski, Chairperson of POB Cybersecurity and Data Analysis was among the awarded.

Sports activities 100% co-financed by the Warsaw University of Technology.

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics have published in the journal Physics Letters B the latest results of their research on changes in the characteristics of the strong interaction between ordinary matter and strange matter change. 

The international collaboration of the AEgIS experiment at CERN has nominated dr Georgy Kornakov, assistant professor of the Physics Faculty of PW, on 14/9/2021 for the Convenership for Physics with Antiprotonic Atoms. This position will be shared with Dr Giovanni Cerchiari from the University of Innsbruck. This nomination strengthens the leadership position of the PW team within the AEgIS experiment.

Increasingly, Na-ion batteries have generated a lot of interest over the years due to their low production costs and the ease of obtaining raw materials, among other things. Unfortunately, because of their poor durability and unsatisfactory electrochemical capacity, they are still not seen as a reliable alternative to the most popular and expensive lithium-ion cells.  Researchers at WUT are working on solving this problem. Their project is being implemented under ENERGYTECH-1 research grant.

The closing date for the submission of applications is 31 October 2021.

In the second edition of the competition, 44 best scientific papers will receive fundings.

Under the Mobility PW programme, mobilities shall be financed, i.e., internships and study visits, trips related to learning how to use unique research equipment, trips related to conducting scientific research for a doctoral thesis, participation in summer/winter schools, courses, and workshops. The closing date for applications for the competition I is 20 September 2021.

In the competition for teacher grants, 10 projects will receive fundings.

WUT announces the internal grant competition funded by the project ,,Excellence Initiative – Research University”, for the employees of the Warsaw University Technology supporting an application submitted in the European Research Council (ERC) competition.

Since the implementation of an EDMS starts in a few months, a big change is ahead of us. What does this process look like from the point of view of a person managing the administration? How are the employees supported and will it be beneficial for us?  Below there is an interview with Krzysztof Dziedzic, DSc, Chancellor at the Warsaw University of Technology. 

‘Every working team has an assigned moderator or moderators of process management for the preparation of a process sheet (...). Moderators meet the working teams regularly – once a week. In the case of more extensive processes, those are meetings lasting a few hours and taking place a few times per week. After completing work, the working teams present their results during the meeting of the Steering Committee for EDMS,’ says Professor Agnieszka Bitkowska, chairperson of the Team for Process Management. Below you will find an interview presenting another aspect of work on the implementation of the electronic document management system at WUT.

In the POSTDOC PW competition, 10 projects will receive fundings.

It seems that we know everything about melting crystalline materials since it is one of the most frequently occurring phase changes involving transitioning from a solid into a liquid. However, that is not the case. WUT researchers are working on thorough research on the mechanisms of a crystalline-liquid phase transition.

More (materials under research) for less (money) – that is an achievement of the researchers at the Faculty of Material Engineering thanks to an innovative approach to the atomization of functional materials. Their research is conducted within the Material Technologies-1 research grant.

We are at the final stage of the testing system implementation, and we are preparing formal and legal regulations. (...) At the same time, we are designing the processes on which four project teams are working. This is a huge amount of work, a huge milestone. No one has ever dealt with that so methodically before - says Gabriel Matus, Head of the EDMS project.

EDMS is a tool that is supposed to facilitate work, improve its quality, facilitate awarding contracts, and flexible work with the document. The pandemic made us aware that this change was a necessity - says Agnieszka Gawrońska-Chrobak, Head of the Public Procurement Office.

The deadline for submissions is 15th September 2021

The budget of the competition shall amount to PLN 1,000,000 and the maximum funding within one teacher grant shall not exceed PLN 100,000. The deadline for submissions is 15 June 2021. 

The deadline for submissions is 7th June 2021. 

“The completion is planned for 2025. In the next few years, subsequent processes will be implemented into the electronic document management system (EDMS) in individual stages. The implementation will be gradual, and the first stage will be completed in autumn 2021 in the new academic year,” says Dr Katarzyna Modrzejewska from a management team of the IDUB (“Excellence Initiative – Research University” project) project and the Steering Committee for EDMS. How is the work on the implementation progressing and what does it involve? Read the interview to find out.

One of the biggest defects of silicon carbide, which is a high-toughness material utilised in the machine tool industry, among other things, is its low fracture toughness. Most frequently, composites with silicon carbide matrix are produced to solve this problem. Unfortunately, most materials utilised as strengthening (composites) and increasing fracture toughness simultaneously negatively affect other properties of silicon carbide, including its toughness and maximum temperature of material work. The work on finding an ideal solution to this problem is continuing.
