Can an international team of designers from different fields, who have never met before, create ideas and produce a prototype of a new product in a fortnight? It turns out that they can. Two new products promoting Lodz were presented at the Pop'n'art gallery. They were created by a workshop team working under the Erasmus+ project "Project - Product - Promotion. International Collective for Design" project, which worked intensively at the Faculty of Material Technologies and Textile Design at TUL.
In the 12th edition of the LEADER Programme, the National Centre for Research and Development awarded nearly PLN 3 million in research funding to two young researchers from Lodz University of Technology: Dr Sylwester Pawęta from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Eng. Bartłomiej Cybulski, MSc from the Faculty of Electrical, Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering.
The feeling that the voice of young scientists can be heard and can change something gives me power to work, says Assoc. Prof. Eng. Marta Gmurek, professor at the Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering at TUL, the new Vice-Chairman of thePolish Young Academy - Polish Academy of Sciences.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers led by Prof. Magdalena Długosz-Lisiecka, an expert in radiation chemistry and nuclear physicist, has discovered new properties of fossils. Paleobiologist Dr. Daniel Tyborowski from the Museum of the Earth of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw also took part in the pioneering discovery, where - during a press conference - the scientists spoke about their research. The author writes about the breakthrough results in the material prepared especially for Życie Uczelni.
