🌈 Can some of the world’s most resilient microorganisms help make industry more sustainable?

As part of the E2Top programme, TUL student Zuzanna Jachowicz explored carotenoids produced by thermophilic microorganisms—organisms that thrive in extreme heat. These natural pigments are not only remarkably stable and vibrant but could also offer an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic, petroleum-based dyes.

🔬 From food and cosmetics to sustainable textiles and bio-based paints, the potential applications are wide-ranging. The project also provided valuable international research experience, including an internship at National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan.

Discover how cutting-edge research and international collaboration are shaping the future of sustainable innovation. 🌍

Why are the most resilient organisms on Earth so colorful? Colorants accompany us in clothing, cosmetics, and food, but they are rarely associated with extreme living conditions. Meanwhile, some of the most promising pigments are produced by microorganisms that thrive at high temperatures. Thermophiles produce compounds with intense colors, remarkable stabi...

🌍 Łódź is becoming a global classroom!

More than 80 students from Poland, India, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea have come together at Lodz University of Technology for the EUREKA project and the “Europe Ready Challenge” programme. 🚀

Over the next three weeks, participants will work in international teams, tackle real-world business challenges, collaborate with industry partners, and develop future-ready skills such as innovation, creativity, teamwork, and intercultural communication. 💡🤝

EUREKA is also about building bridges between cultures. On 23 June, students will have the opportunity to share their traditions and heritage during a special Cultural Day celebration. 🎭🌏

We are proud to welcome our guests from around the world and create an environment where learning goes beyond the classroom.

Project is implemented under the SPINAKER programme which is financed from the European Fund for Social Development 2021-2027 (FERS) as part of the NAWA project entitled "Support for the creation and implementation of international education programs", project number FERS.01.05-IP.08-0436/23.

🌍💡 From Barcelona with inspiration!

This spring, a student from Lodz University of Technology - Adam Cieślak, joined the ECIU University Creathon 2026 at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona 🇪🇸

Together with students from across Europe, participants worked on real-life social challenges connected with inclusion, sustainability and community life. Through workshops, teamwork and field visits in Catalonia, they developed ideas to support local communities and explored challenge-based learning in practice.

A valuable international experience, fresh perspectives and meaningful collaboration — that’s what ECIU is all about 🤝✨

We’re happy to see TUL students actively engaging in ECIU initiatives and bringing back inspiring stories!

Recall from ECIU Creathon in Barcelona by TUL Student In May 2026, the ECIU University Creathon 2026 “Building Inclusive Futures - Rethinking Care, Community, and Urban and Rural Life” took place at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Spain.

💧 Water rolls off, science works!

At Lodz University of Technology, textile engineering student Izabela Myjak explored how fabric structure and surface modifications can create hydrophobic materials — inspired by nature, like the self-cleaning effect of lotus leaves 🌿

Her research shows how smart textile engineering can improve everyday products and specialist applications alike: from sportswear and upholstery to medical fabrics.

Through the E2Top programme, Izabela also had the opportunity to present her work internationally and grow her scientific network 🌍🔬

Innovation can start with something as simple as a drop of water — and lead to materials ready for special tasks ✨

Water rolls off, science works – hydrophobic fabrics from TUL Materials for special tasks—those resistant to moisture—have come under the scientific scrutiny of Izabela Myjak. A textile engineering student in the E2Top program, she investigated how fabric structure and surface modification affect hydrophobic properties.
