A little over a year ago, the Rector of Lodz University of Technology, Prof. Krzysztof Jóźwik, and the President of the Management Board of Whirlpool Company Poland, Fabio Pommella, signed a letter of intent to initiate cooperation with the world's leading appliance manufacturer. Today, the next step in the integration of the two partners has been taken.
Students from Lodz University of Technology's Raptors team took first place at the European Robotics League rescue robot competition. Robots and drones constructed by the young engineers took part in simulated rescue operations.
On 1 July, a summer school devoted to the issue of human-computer interaction comes to an end at the International Faculty of Engineering (IFE). For one week, Polish and international students attend lectures given by researchers from all over the world - Lodz University of Technology hosts outstanding professors from several European and American universities, including Chalmers University of Technology, University of St. Gallen or James Madison University. Gallen or James Madison University.
Lodz University of Technology will be the coordinator of the Sustainable Industrial Design of Textile Structures for Composites project awarded in the Twinningcompetition , under the European Commission Horizon Europe programme. Almost €1.5 million has been allocated to the project's activities.
As many as eight projects will be implemented at Lodz University of Technology under the programme "Students' scientific circles create innovations". Ministry of Science and Higher Education has granted almost PLN 500,000 in funding for this purpose.
Researchers from TUL have enclosed the effect of bees' work in a capsule. They produced innovative honey microcapsules using natural biopolymers. The innovative method used for the first time in the world allowed to limit losses of bioactive compounds in honey, which are the result of destructive action of gastric juice and digestive enzymes. In vitro studies have shown the extensive health-promoting effects of the developed microcapsules.
Researchers from Lodz University of Technology participate in the European FLEXIndustries consortium. Under the Horizon Europe project over EUR 17 million will be allocated for innovative solutions supporting smart energy transformation in large industrial plants.
Researchers from Lodz University of Technology have won a prestigious EUROfusion Engineering Grants (EEG), awarded for the first time to Polish scientists. The team will conduct research on the system monitoring the production of fusion plasma.
Researchers from the Institute of Information Technology at TUL are working on a project for an intelligent system that will help save electricity and ensure a comfortable working environment. NCRD has granted over PLN 2.2 million in funding for this purpose.
Lodz University of Technology is participating in the FRONTSH1P project with a budget of 19 million Euros and a list of consortium members includes 34 institutions from Poland and Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland. Companies and research centres will work on "green" technologies for a circular economy. The first working meeting of the partners took place on 17 November in Zatoka Sportu.
The Robotex International 2021 competition in Tallinn is the largest European robotics competition. It was the second time when the team of SKaNeR Robotics Student Research Group from Lodz University of Technology took part in it, taking the two highest places on the podium. Their robots were the fastest to overcome the track with additional "attractions" on the way.
Lodz University of Technology is implementing and coordinating two new projects from the Erasmus+ programme.
