A list of needs for those fighting in Ukraine is a short one: food and warmth. I know we have much warmth in our hearts and I strongly believe that we can convert this heat into:

• ❤ food for 1-4 y.o. kids (cereals, jars, cans, etc.)
• ❤ food with long expiry date (canned food, jars, instant dishes (pastas), coffee, tee, sugar, cookies, candies)
• ❤ pillows, duvets, sleeping bags (20 pcs), smaller polar blankets (for wrapping and transporting children)
• ❤ wounds dressing kits for wounded civilians in hospitals (kids, women, elderly people)
• ❤ powerbanks 20 000 mAh, 2-3kW power generator (2 pcs), batteries, flashlights, headlights

WorldSkills Poland is an initiative encouraging young people to improve their professional skills through the prestigious international competitions WorldSkills and EuroSkills. EuroSkills and WorldSkills are competitions in which 30 countries from Europe and as many as 85 countries compete in the global edition, WorldSkills. These are the largest competitions of their kind in the world. And as the most important competitions in the world, so do our alumni. See how many made it to the podium.

We already know the results of “80 rounds around the Main Building” sports event. Congratulations go to individual employees of our Faculty: Vibekananda Dutta and Szymon Cygan, who together have made over 280 km. Our Faculty took the third place with over 330 km in total. We hope to see you on the same track next year.

My name is Robert Makowski, BEng. I am a graduate of Mechatronics and I am facing a family tragedy. My wife Kasia has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma of the mucous membrane. We have a chance to defeat the cancer but we need support. We have found a unit in Israel that is capable of applying a pioneer method of curing cancer, specifically tailored for Kasia. My  wife has a chance to carry on. Official donate website: https://www.siepomaga.pl/kasia-makowska

The Allgorhytmics and Programming the Industry of Tomorrow Championships is the end of a national 3P project that has been going on for the last 10 months. 13 best teams, selected by means of a preliminary task, have competed in an IT task, the goal of which was to make a software based on the PLC drivers. The finale saw two teams, both prepared by Krzysztof Kukiełka, PhD, BEng., Zbigniew Seta, PhD, BEng., and Igor Ostrowski, PhD, BEng. Congratulations to Kacper Smykowski, Mateusz Kochański, Daniel Cudny and Krzysztof Błażejewski!

You are welcome to join a set of meetings “Fridays with Employer at the MEiL Faculty”. There, we will talk about the matters of professional career, desired competencies, but also about the technical aspects and the projects conducted at a given company. The guests from different companies will present their offer of apprenticeship, vacancies and may enable individual appointments with the students.

"No less than 16 firefighters divisions have been engaged in combating the fire. The whole operation took around 12 hours. The fire has rapidly spread and despite an immediate response and preventive action, the losses are enormous, both in terms of livestock lost and buildings damage. The fire also damaged the agricultural machines in a nearby garage, including a harvester and a cultivation and sowing unit.” This is the message we have received about a fire at the family house of one of our students. On his behalf, we kindly request your help. Link to the donate. Link to the article about the fire.

National Centre of Science (NCN) has published the results of final round of MINIATURA 6 contest. The finalists include scholars from PW, including those from our Faculty. The MINIATURA contest is designed to receive applications for execution of an individual scientific action from among the following forms: preliminary / pilot research, query, scientific apprenticeship, research trip or a consultation trip. The goal of the contest is to provide financial backing for scientific activities that will serve as a basis for a future research project, to be applied in further NCN contests or other state and international contests.

The researcher from the Faculty of Mechatronics of PW has received the title of a fellow member of the USA Optica Association. It is one of the leading scientific organisations in the world in the area of optics and photonics. Kujawska has been appreciated for her enormous work on the development of screening methods by introducing metrological standards.

SmartHEAL, a smart dressing by Mechatronics graduates Tomasz Raczyński, M.Sc., Piotr Walter, M.Sc., and Dominik Baraniecki, M.Sc., is a solution that can help heal chronic wounds. A solution that has been recognised by James Dyson himself - a British billionaire, as well as an industrial designer and inventor who seeks ideas that solve practical problems in everyday life.
