Visiting Professors
In the 2009/2010 academic year, the Center for Advanced Studies launched a new project - scholarships for visiting professors.
The aim of the scholarship programme is to invite world-renowned scientists representing international research institutions who, by delivering lectures on innovative solutions and modern technologies as well as by running seminars with students, PhD students and academics, will strengthen the WUT academic community’s intellectual potential.
The project is financed within the Warsaw University of Technology Development Programme.
