PUT among the signatories of the agreement for construction and development of the network of autonomous polygons. The agreement signed by the prof. Teofil Jesionowski, the Rector of the Poznan University of Technology, included support for the development of unmanned systems technology in Poland and stimulation of scientific and research as well as business cooperation by making available specialized, previously unavailable test infrastructure.

The tests of innovative rescue missions will take place at the Kąkolewo Campus on June 20 - 24, 2022. Young engineers will conduct simulations of real rescue operations and crises using technologically advanced drones and robots. The event that enables teams from the Poznan University of Technology to take part in the tests is the International European Robotics League (ERL) competition. The tournament is organized periodically in several European countries.

Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit is a favourite event for women and not only from the Tech and IT industry in Europe.  This year, ten thousand participants registered, and as many as six thousand participated in a stationary event in Warsaw!
