The 80th anniversary of our university is an important milestone, reminding us of the successful history and legacy of Lodz University of Technology and the people who make it what it is, in line with the words of the jubilee's patron, Prof. Alicja Dorabialska: With a lesser or greater sense of responsibility, everyone shapes the present. Often, they are not even aware of how far they lay the foundations for the future.
