On Friday, 22 November, the Warsaw University of Technology hosted a meeting devoted to cooperation in research and dual degree programmes between Polish and Chinese universities. During the event, Agnieszka Jastrzębska, ProfTit. and Roman Szewczyk, ProfTit., PhD from the Faculty of Mechatronics, told the audience about existing and possible future areas of scientific cooperation between Warsaw University of Technology and Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

We would like to invite you to the final of the GAPA TEATR 2024 competition. The December Academic Artistic Review (GAPA) is a national competition for students organised for over 20 years by the Independent Students' Association of Warsaw University of Technology. The event promotes culture and talent development among the academic community. Student theatre groups will present their performances at the Stage on Smolna Street in the Śródmieście Cultural Centre. On 1.12 the performances will begin at 5 p.m. and on 2.12 at 6 p.m. Admission is free. Facebook

We would like to invite you to the 135th concert in the series ‘Great Music in a Small Auditorium’. We will hear Antonio Vivaldi's ‘Gloria RV 589’ and Michał Malec's ‘Caeli enarrant’ (a piece composed especially for us for this occasion). The concert will be performed by the Quantum Choir of Warsaw University of Technology and the Poliforum Baroque Orchestra. The solo parts will be performed by Malwina Borkowicz and Marta Krysiak. Conductor: Katarzyna Karbownik. Artistic direction: Kornelia Korecka-Karbownik. Free entry.

You are invited to the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) session ‘Innovative antimicrobial wound care’. The event is organised by the Horizon Europe (HE) project, HyFiDress, and is the first open event to bring together scientists and members of the public interested in biomaterials, their applications, methods of research and opportunities for their development using modern technologies.

The end of the year is a time that can evoke a whole range of different emotions. From joy, a sense of achievement (many things have gone your way) to relief that the year is coming to an end, to hope for a better year. A better year, that is? What should happen in it? These are some of the questions we will be looking at during the workshop ‘Summarise the old, plan the new’. Please note: Limit of places: 10, first come first served. Registration for the event is possible after logging in to the Career Center career platform.

For the ninth time, fair houses will be erected on the square in front of the Main Building of Warsaw University of Technology. Ours - the PW one - will be, as always, charitable. It is an opportunity to buy souvenirs and Christmas delicacies. There will also be other attractions. We invite you to join us on 5 and 6 December from 10.00 to 17.00.

Pulsating water jet technology for rock erosion application has been emphasized in this study. The erosion phenomena are explored as an eroded depth, eroded width and volume eroded of the sandstone at frequency f = 20,000–40,000 Hz by using pulsed water jet. The surface was eroded at pressure 20–40 MPa; standoff distance 20 mm; nozzle diameter 1.6 mm; and feed rate of the jet 125–200 mm/s. The eroded depth, eroded width, and volume of the eroded sections were evaluated through non-contact-type optical profilometer. The result shows the relationship between feed rate of the jet, pressure, and standoff distance, which affects the erosion depth and width and volume removal. At f = 40,000 Hz, the maximum value of erosion depth, width, and volume removal was obtained. The microstructural analysis Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) examined the erosion topography, plastic deformation, and failure analysis at a frequency f = 20,000–40,000 Hz. The results reveal that the frequency change affects erosion, and failure was observed at 40,000 Hz. This is the result of the deeper and narrow eroded surface caused by the enhanced number of impacts (200–320 impact per mm) and concentrated stream of a jet at 40,000 Hz.

The registration for the second edition of Students Days of Electroenergetics is open. This event is organised by the Institute of Electroenergetics in cooperation with the PW Faculty of Electrics. The event is the biggest of this kind in the Province of Mazovia organised at the PW Campus, directed at students of technical schools and universities open to the newest trends in electroenergetics. The event is accompanied by a number of contests and games with nice rewards, including an electric scooter. Moreover, each participant will get a chance to receive an attractive gift bag.
