We already know the winners of the 1st edition of the "Laboratorium Pomysłów" Grant Program!

One of the two awarded projects is "Snow's Eye" submitted by Jan Mikołajczyk, founder of the students' group Measurement Systems and Automation (Koło Naukowe Systemów Pomiarowych i Automatyki) operating at our Faculty.

The aim of the project is to build a drone to measure snow thickness in polar and mountainous areas.

We encourage you to submit your projects for the second edition, which starts on February 4th (and will last until February 28th).

New positions (teaching and research-teaching) at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics have been opened.
We encourage you to see the announcements ("More").

For this New Year, we share with you "topological" wishes: closing unfinished projects, bounding distracting activities, and therefore compactly waiting for the outcome! :)
All the best wishes from MIMUW!

We invite you to participate in the 10-Minute Play Contest as part of the First 10-Minute Plays Festival. The task is to write a script of 10–12 pages, featuring at least 2 actors. Your script should be relevant to theme ‘We, humans, that’s how we act’. Submissions can be in Polish or English, sent until January 6, 2025.

We invite students (not only from our Faculty, the competition is international) to participate in "The Brawl", organized by, among others, IBM Poland. Three-person teams invest $1 million for five days in cryptocurrencies. Who will earn the most?
