Three projects of Silesian University of Technology Student Science Clubs were among the winners of the competition “Student Science Clubs create innovations,” organized by the Ministry of Education and Science.

In this year’s edition, three science clubs operating at the Silesian University of Technology will receive funding from the program. The aim of the competition is to help science clubs in the implementation of innovative projects and to improve the quality of the activities of these clubs, and to improve the mechanism of transferring technologies and technical solutions created as part of their activities to the economic sphere.
