We are proud to announce that Filip Budny, a PhD student at the Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies CEZAMAT of the Warsaw University of Technology, has become a laureate of the International Sustainability Award in the James Dyson Award 2025 competition for his project WaterSense!

This is one of the most prestigious international distinctions granted to students and young engineers from around the world for projects that provide practical solutions to real social and environmental challenges.

WaterSense is an integrated system that uses autonomous measurement stations, artificial intelligence, and satellite data to analyze water quality in real time. It enables more effective monitoring and protection of water resources, supporting global efforts toward sustainable development.

WaterSense is realizing the project under the acronym ASIR, in cooperation with the Department of Printed Electronics, Textronics and Assembly in CEZAMAT WUT, led by Prof. Małgorzata Jakubowska, as well as with the Faculty of Chemistry, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Technology of the Warsaw University of Technology, and IMGW-PIB (Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – National Research Institute).
The ASIR project is co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) under the HYDROSTRATEG II program.

Warm congratulations to Filip Budny!

We are proud that at CEZAMAT WUT, technologies are being developed that have the real potential to change the world!

It is also worth noting that this is the second time that members of the Department of Printed Electronics, Textronics and Assembly in CEZAMAT WUT have received this prestigious distinction. In 2022, PhD students Piotr Walter, Dominik Baraniecki, and Tomasz Raczyński were also awarded internationally in the James Dyson Award competition for their SmartHeal intelligent wound dressing project.
