200th Anniversary Celebration Ceremony at Warsaw University of Technology (Politechnika Warszawska)

This academic year, Warsaw University of Technology (Politechnika Warszawska) is celebrating the 200th anniversary of its founding. During the ceremony, the PW Rector Krzysztof Zaremba said, “The history of our Alma Mater is not simply an object of remembrance, it is also—and perhaps above all—a hidden imperative. It is a commitment to the multitude of our predecessors, those whose unwavering determination and steadfast consistency constitute the very essence of our endeavors. It is a commitment to the university, to society, and to humanity at large. It is a pledge to take responsibility for our creations, and to ensure the sustainable and ethical development of technology (…) Our mission is to cultivate enlightened individuals, to ignite passion within them, to instill a lifelong habit of learning, and to foster a mindset of creative and fundamental inquiry. We strive to ensure that our graduates leave these university walls as intellectually independent individuals, boldly articulating their own perspectives.”
