Perspektywy Educational Perspective and Intel Company - as a part of a multi-year cooperation for the increasing the parity of women in new technologies  - have started a new scholarship programme for girls in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). The scholarship programme “New Technologies for Women - Ukraine” is directed at women students from Ukraine, PhD students and graduates of high schools who as a result of the war in Ukraine find themselves in a difficult situation.  Our student Yelyzaveta Leshchenko is among the nominees. Congratulations!

For all those interested in entrepreneurship, creating startups, business and the opportunities for support in getting know-how, we create a programme of Open Door Day of PW Incubator.

After the last year’s break due to neurosurgical operations, Mikołaj is back at Mechatronics at PW! He got to studying, participating in the students council, playing guitar, taking photos and tinkering while believing that he will have a chance to do all those things he loves. Last week we managed to import a new dose of his medicine to Poland. It will be better now! Link to the donate.

"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 article about the fire. Link to the donate.

This is the 7. edition of our action, designed to reward our students. To reward those who stand out by means of their work in students science clubs, participate in contests, give their time to the children and youth interested in the world of technology, and to those who engage in social and charity activities. We have no idea how they find time to make it all happen but we are certain that they deserve to be noticed. Traditionally, the funds for the scholarships come from the money generated during the PW Christmas Fair. This year, the jury has rewarded Maria Muszyńska and Mike Ryan.

Warsaw University of Technology Institute of Micromechanics and Photonics announces a call for PhD/Master Student positions within the NCN SONATA16 project entitled “[GaboScope] Numerically enhanced lensless Gabor microscopy for high-throughput marker-free investigation of dynamic live biosamples”.

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.
