From 5 to 10 July, the Alchemium building, home to the Faculty of Chemistry at Lodz University of Technology, hosted the 24th International Conference on Organic Synthesis (24-ICOS), one of the world’s most important scientific events devoted to organic synthesis, held under the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry, Professor Susumu Kitagawa, is a guest of Lodz University of Technology during the 24th International Conference on Organic Synthesis (24-ICOS). This is one of the most prestigious events in global chemistry, held every two years in different countries. In its 50-year history, the conference has come to Poland for the second time, and to Lodz for the first time. This year’s edition takes place from July 5 to July 10, 2026.

Lodz University of Technology is participating in the project “Fermented vegetable bases with prebiotic and postbiotic properties – a new category of functional semi-finished products for the food industry.” The initiative is funded under the European Funds for a Modern Economy (FENG) programme as part of the “SMART Path” scheme.

A prestigious research project funded by the European Union under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship programme is being carried out at the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences. The programme, aimed at postdoctoral researchers, enables the implementation of ambitious research plans in an international environment. The Department of Environmental Biotechnology is hosting Dr Teresa Branysová from the Czech Academy of Sciences, who is conducting pioneering research in collaboration with Prof. Beata Gutarowska.

The scale of success is impressive—competition was intense. More than 17,000 applications were submitted to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship programme, and only four grants were awarded to Poland.

Although they are often only micrometers thick, they determine the durability, safety, and functionality of objects. For example, they can improve the performance of air conditioners or increase the antiseptic properties of packaging. Natalia Szymańska, in the E2Top programme, identifies contemporary challenges in designing polymer coatings.

The latest results of the prestigious QS World University Rankings 2027 have been published. Despite growing competition, Lodz University of Technology has once again been ranked in the 1001–1200 band.

From 8–12 June 2026, Lodz University of Technology hosted an international Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) implemented within the ECIU network. The entire initiative was coordinated by the team of Sebastian Bakalarczyk, Agnieszka Pietras, and Iwona Staniec. The programmes “Digital Development Roadmaps” and “Digital Maturity Auditing and Process Optimization” attracted students from universities in Finland, France, Italy, Latvia, Hungary, Germany, Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland, who worked intensively for several days in international teams during a hackathon, tackling real business challenges.
