Representatives of Warsaw University of Technology conducted two-day workshops on robotics and artificial intelligence — the main themes of EXPO 2025 in Osaka — and held a series of meetings promoting the University's scientific, educational, and cultural offerings. WUT professors showcased the university’s research achievements in supporting human activity with advanced technologies and highlighted the outcomes of academic cooperation with Japanese universities, including the JEMARO (Japan-Europe Master on Advanced Robotics) programme.

The event aimed to strengthen WUT’s academic and scientific cooperation with Japanese universities, share experiences in robotics and AI research, and enhance the university’s visibility in Japan.
