The goal of the meeting was to introduce new students to academic life at WUT, present the university’s structure, and showcase the wide range of opportunities available – from involvement in student research groups and artistic ensembles to participation in international initiatives within the ENHANCE Alliance. The event also provided a chance for integration and for students to get to know the units that support them during their studies.
