Research Week begins on March 10 (Friday).

Five days of seminars, lectures, visits to laboratories and discussions with experts who support scientists in their research work. This is the first time that TUL has created this type of platform where you can to explore opportunities for research and international cooperation, both of which are of crucial import for scientists, prof. Lukasz Albrecht, Vice-Rector for Science at TUL, explains. The primary venue of the event is the ‘Alchemium’ building, home to TUL’s Faculty of Chemistry.

The week-long event will start with the inaugural lecture on the economic transformation in the postcovid era, delivered by prof. Jerzy Hausner.
