Dr Jacek Stańdo, Professor at Lodz University of Technology's Centre for Mathematics and Physics Education, has been awarded the Ambassador of Innovation award by the European Centre for the Development of the Economy. The mathematician was recognised for his outstanding involvement in numerous projects aimed at developing innovation in Poland, as well as forward-thinking, out-of-the-box thinking and new solutions.

The results of the 3rd edition of the Ministry of Education and Science programme 'Student Research Clubs Create Innovations' have been announced. Among the 174 teams awarded, there are seven research clubs from Lodz University of Technology.

The jubilee was celebrated in an exquisite setting, as the prominent Arthur Rubinstein Philharmonic Hall in Łódź provided the venue for the concert organized on the occasion. The regularly held soirees with music, most often classical, but occasionally a bit more lighthearted, began more than 30 years ago because Professor Jan Krysinski, a long-time rector of Lodz University of Technology, brought his vision to life. Named Music at Lodz University of Technology, for many years, the concerts were held in the Mirror Hall of the Scheibler Villa at 266 Piotrkowska Street, and have now been moved to the TUL Performing Arts Auditorium. Succeeding rectors took patronage of the concerts. The current rector, professor Krzysztof Jóźwik, was the host of the jubilee evening.
