Dear Students, Representatives of Scientific Clubs - get ready! We are waiting for you next year!

The evening Gala was preceded by a smaller edition of the well-known event called the Day of Student Organizations and Scientific Clubs of the Poznan University of Technology. The Scientific Clubs and Student Organizations had an excellent opportunity to present themselves to the academic community, display their projects and encourage students to work together.

We are very happy to see the academic community unite and develop their skills and passions. We wish you endless success and constant development. We encourage all Scientific Clubs to debut on stage next year!
