The scientists from the PW Faculty of Mechatronics have devised three applications utilising virtual reality that assist in curing people who have suffered a stroke.

Members of a team from our Faculty of Mechatronics and from the University of Warsaw have become the finalists of the DirectionSpace contest by designing an innovative project of a space experiment, to be conducted onboard the International Space Station. The GrowLight Team has presented their LASPA project - Laser Amplitude Stimulated Plant Agriculture at the 7th Silesia Science Festival in Katowice, becoming the only finalists from Masovia. Our students will compete with 11 best teams to gain the finances for the project and a study tour to CERN. The experiment tests the influence of microgravity on the development of plants stimulated with laser light.

The Siemens company and Warsaw University of Technology for the 28th time, and for the second time in new formula, organise a contest. Its mission is to support the development and achievements of students and young scientists. The awards will go to projects from the area of Industry 4.0, such as big data, AI or the internet of things. Additionally, they are to support the entrepreneurs make their businesses more ec0-friendly. The slogan of the contest is “Balanced industry through digital transformation and green technologies”.

Every month we host a meeting of the Sciencepreneurs' Club at the Centre for Innovation of PW at Rektorska 4. There, in a rather relaxed atmosphere (pizza) we listen to the stories of entrepreneurial people related to PW, including scientists and innovators. We highly recommend the whole thing but this time on Tuesday, 12 December, it will be particularly interesting to listen to Marcin Koziorowski, the head of the EcoBean company. The company recovers money from… coffee grounds. Here is the link to registration.

Let’s create together a beautiful Christmas gift for those in need!
