How does a supernova explosion occur, and why can the death of a massive star leave behind a neutron star or a black hole? Prof. Hans-Thomas Janka from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics will discuss these phenomena at Wrocław Tech.

For the sixth time, Wrocław University of Science and Technology will present the European Stanisław Lem Prize (Lem Prize). It will be awarded to a young researcher for a discovery that could have a positive impact on the future of our civilisation.

Researchers from Wrocław University of Science and Technology and MIT have demonstrated that peptides can maintain stability and fold into diverse structures in concentrated sulfuric acid. The findings may be of key importance in the search for traces of life in the clouds of Venus.

The STRAINS and Chemical Nano-Engineering (CNE) programmes have secured funding for future cohorts. The European Commission has also backed eGov-Sol, a Wrocław Tech-led project focusing on digital government.

Wrocław Tech has once again been ranked among the world’s top 1,000 universities in the Academic Ranking of World Universities. Wrocław Tech is the only university from Wrocław included in the ranking and has climbed to 735th place in terms of research publications.
