The Ministry of Science and Higher Education has allocated 6.5 million PLN to Lodz University of Technology, to subsidize the investment project called “Renovation of the 2nd Dormitory”.

The renovation is necessary mainly due to the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemics and the need to minimize the risk of contracting COVID-19 among students and dormitory personnel. Moreover, housing offered by the university should guarantee the possibility of isolating the ill, which makes it necessary to increase the number of individual rooms with bathrooms.

Lodz University of Technology and the Lodz Voivodship have concluded an agreement on cooperation in the field of cyber security. The plan is to create a nationally unique "Competence Centre for Computer Forensics and Cyber Security", the first element of which will be a "Workshop for digital modelling of crime scenes", which Lodz University of Technology will equip with specialist equipment. The voivodship will provide PLN 282,000 for this purpose. The university's own contribution will amount to PLN 94,000.

The National Centre for Research and Development has published a list of projects selected in the competition "Accessible university II. The university will receive nearly PLN 15 million from the Operational Programme "Knowledge Education Development" for the activities planned in the project.

- Such a large amount of funding means that we have planned many activities that match the title of the project - Accessible Lodz University of Technology. Our application has 268 pages, and when I put my signature on each of them, I knew that this is the beginning of changes which will strengthen the widely understood openness of the university,' says the Rector, professor Krzysztof Jóźwik

The Academic Sports Gala was originally scheduled to take place in October at the Sports Bay of Lodz University of Technology.

In the first stage of the 67th Chemistry Competition, the students of the Public Secondary School of Lodz University of Technology got first place in Poland as a team. 

Researchers from the Institute of Turbomachinery of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering together with the X-ray Crystallography and Crystallochemistry Team of the Faculty of Chemistry as well as the Pintech company are working on the solution.

Employees, doctoral candidates and students of Lodz University of Technology may receive additional remuneration for outstanding activity in their scientific work. The University has published regulations of incentive awards. The aim of this initiative is to strive for Lodz University of Technology gaining the status of a Research University. It will not be possible without, among others, a large number of widely cited publications and research projects carried out under prestigious grants.

Dr inż. Hubert Antolak, a young scientist from Lodz University of Technology, received a scientific award from the Division IV of Technical Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences for his doctoral dissertation "Asaia spp. bacteria as a new contaminant of functional beverages" and 8 articles thematically related to this dissertation.

The MINIATURE competition, announced for the 4th time by the National Science Centre, has selected 178 winners. Eight scientists from Lodz University of Technology will receive grants. This is a success, because according to the published ranking list, only 31 projects from technical universities will receive funding. Therefore, we would all the more like to congratulate our scientists on the financial support for the preparation of a research project.
