The agreement between the Captain Witold Pilecki School Complex No. 1 in Piotrków Trybunalski and the Department of General Biochemistry at our Faculty offers an excellent opportunity for young science enthusiasts. The official launch of this collaboration enables students in biology and chemistry classes in Piotrków Trybunalski to gain direct access to academic knowledge and research facilities. At the University of Lodz, the collaboration is coordinated by Dr Oleksandra Liudvytska and Prof. Joanna Saluk.
Learning through practice in university laboratories
As part of this cooperation, students will have the opportunity to develop their laboratory skills during specialised classes led by experienced research teams from the Department of General Biochemistry and members of the Biochemistry Section of the University of Lodz Biology Student Science Club. This initiative goes beyond traditional classroom learning – students will take on the role of young scientists, carrying out projects and experiments directly in university laboratories.
What are the benefits for students?
- Hands-on laboratory experience – developing key practical and research skills under expert supervision
- Exposure to modern equipment – working with advanced laboratory equipment and learning about contemporary scientific practice
- Developing passions and interests – exploring beyond the standard school curriculum
- A strong start for the future – solid preparation for the Matura exam and a valuable introduction to future studies in medicine, biology, pharmacy or biotechnology
- Unique experience – gaining knowledge and skills that will distinguish graduates in further education and on the job market
We warmly welcome the students and teaching staff of the Captain Witold Pilecki School Complex No. 1 in Piotrków Trybunalski to the community of the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, University of Lodz, and wish them many fascinating discoveries in our laboratories.
