The delegation also included Myoung Rae Cho, Deputy Mayor of Changwon, along with Goo Jong Kang, Head of the Planning Policy Department.

At the beginning of July, the finals of the "Seeds for the Future" competition took place in Rome. The aim of this competition is to promote students who have interesting ideas for solving important social problems using Huawei technology. 145 students from 23 European countries took part in the final, including 10 students from Poland (3 from our university), whose applications in the recruitment process stood out among the remaining several hundred candidates. The students were divided into teams of several people.

In the most recent edition of the U.S. News Best Global Universities ranking, 2,250 top universities from around the world were selected based on indicators grouped into three categories: global and regional academic reputation, bibliometric indicators from the Web of Science database (Clarivate), and scientific excellence. In the national classification, the Poznan University of Technology claimed the 21st spot, including the 6th place in the category of Polish technical universities.

In June, the National Agency for Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps published the results of a study on academic mobility under the completed Erasmus+ KA 131 2020 project (mobility with program countries within the EU).

The Poznan University of Technology is at the top of the ranking in terms of the number of participants. Our university took 7th place in Poland taking into account the number of university employees going abroad - a total of 186 trips were carried out for training and teaching purposes.
