An international research team consisting of professor Tomasz Kubiak and his doctoral student Paweł Czapski from the Department of Strength of Materials at Lodz University of Technology has been recommended for funding of research important for stability of structures in which thin-walled composite columns are used. This modern technology is used, for example, in the aerospace industry (aircraft, helicopters), the automotive industry and also in relation to wind turbines.

By adopting the best and proven practices, Lodz University of Technology is implementing the project "Building Excellence at Lodz University of Technology". The Rector awarded grants for the best good practices showing examples of actions that can positively influence the development of the university in the area of science, education and organisation of academic life.

The Students’ Self-Government of Lodz University of Technology has decided to elect the Best Teacher of the Year 2019/2020. Times are such that students and staff see each other more often through a computer screen than in person. Education, although more online, has not ceased to be a real source of acquiring knowledge and competences. The new situation requires both the teachers and the students to meet different challenges.

Open Access publications are an important part of the open model of scientific communication. They also bring many benefits to their authors. At the beginning of the new year, Lodz University of Technology launched a special path to subsidise the costs of Open Access publications, which have at least 100 points according to the current ministerial list (currently journals are assigned 20, 40, 70, 100, 140 or 200 points).
