New funds, new opportunities: student initiatives supported by the Council of Student Research Groups

In the latest edition of the TUL Council of Student Research Groups Competition, our student teams, Iron Warriors and GUST, received significant financial support for the implementation of research, technical and student‑activity‑oriented projects. The awarded funds will enable the development of innovative constructions, participation in prestigious competitions, and the execution of science‑promoting initiatives. Two of the three funded projects were awarded to the Iron Warriors team.

 

• Participation of the Iron Warriors Student Research Group in the international Challenge EcoGreen Energy 2026 competition – awarded amount: 18,500 PLN. The project involves preparing the team and taking part in an international competition focused on modern solutions in ecological energy and sustainable transport.

• Use of biocomposites to increase the energy efficiency of the Eco Arrow 3.5 vehicle (Iron Warriors) – awarded amount: 7,500 PLN. The project focuses on applying innovative biocomposite materials in the construction of the Eco Arrow 3.5 vehicle. Its goal is to improve energy efficiency and reduce weight, resulting in better performance and lower energy consumption.

• Small wind turbine for Polish micro‑energy systems (GUST) – awarded amount: 15,000 PLN. The project focuses on developing an innovative, compact wind turbine designed for micro‑scale energy applications. Its goal is to create an efficient and environmentally friendly energy source for small‑scale users.

Support from the RKN PŁ Competition enables students to carry out ambitious projects, strengthens the potential of student research groups, and allows them to represent Lodz University of Technology both in Poland and abroad. We thank the Council of Student Research Groups for their trust and support, congratulate our teams on receiving funding, and wish them success in bringing their projects to life.
