On Polish Science Day, observed on February 19, the Minister of Education and Science presented awards to outstanding scientists and research groups. Professor Marcin Kaminski of Lodz University of Technology is among the 45 individuals presented with the award for their contribution to science.

Lodz University of Technology and Australian Curtin University in Perth have (14.02) concluded an agreement, which is the first step towards cooperation. The partnership is the result of talks between the authorities of the two academic centres, which began during Expo 2020 in Dubai where the rector of TUL travelled at the invitation of the Marshal.

I think that artificial intelligence will not replace the scientist, but it will provide great opportunities and research tools, which, if used well, will open the way to breakthrough scientific discoveries - says Prof. Łukasz Albrecht. The occasion for the conversation with the Vice-Rector for Science at TUL is the Day of Polish Science, celebrated on 19 February.

Not everyone is aware that chemistry - although difficult - is omnipresent in our lives. We deal with it everywhere, and those who recognised this early on became passionate about it. This group includes Aleksandra Topolska, M.Sc., who is pursuing her doctoral thesis in the area of chemical sciences at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School at TUL.

An exceptional Open Day will take place at Lodz University of Technology this year. We would like to invite you on 14 March - the International Day of Mathematics, to a number of attractive classes, meetings and debates, prepared in the Alchemium building (Żeromskiego 114), in several special zones.

On Tuesday, 14 February, at the Rector's Office of Lodz University of Technology, the City of Lodz officially became a member of the Lodz Energy Wave Cluster. The participation of the new partner offers great opportunities to implement, on a wider scale, innovations aimed at reducing the impact of the energy crisis in the resources managed by the city.

Lodz University of Technology and Curtin University in Perth, Australia, have concluded an agreement, which marks the first step towards a broader collaboration. The official signing was effected during an online meeting.

The Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute (CIOP-PIB) has developed a prototype of protective clothing that actively cools the body down, designed for people working in hot environments, i.e. workers exposed to excessive heat causing the body to overheat. Lodz University of Technology contributed to this innovative solution.
