By decision of faculty student's body, this year's Golden Chalk for outstanding conducting classes went to: Prof. Janusz Zachara, PhD, DSc, Eng. in lectures category and to Aldona Zalewska, PhD, DSc, Eng. in exercises, laboratories and projects category. Awards were given at the ceremony commemorating 100th anniversary of Warsaw University of Technology tradition renewal. Congratulations!

Michał Młotek, PhD, Eng. of the Laboratory of Plasma Processes, Department of Chemical Technology, is the main contractor for the contract agreement between Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology and INSTAL Rzeszów company. The agreement includes design and construction of the industrial experimental reactor for enrichment of biogas used for electricity generation. Upon performing tests on the finished reactor, INSTAL Rzeszów company plans to start serial manufacturing of such plasma reactors for biogas-works.

On May 21st, 2014 in Polish Army Conference Center, during 7th Scientific-Industrial Conference on Defense Techniques and Technology Research Paweł Maksimowski, PhD, DSc, Eng. and Tomasz Gołofit, PhD, Eng. of the Department of High-Energetic Materials were awarded by Polish Minister of Defense, Mr Tomasz Siemoniak, with I degree award in the 2nd The best Research and Scientific Work in Defense Field for work titled "Elaboration of production technology for novel, high-energetic and low-sensitive explosives". The work was performed by consortium consisting of WAT, Warsaw University of Technology, „Nitrochem” industrial plant in Bydgoszcz and Bumar.
