Established in 1945, Wrocław University of Science and Technology has a rich history. It came into being primarily through the efforts of academic staff from the now-defunct Technical University of Lviv and the Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv. These dedicated individuals adapted the damaged buildings of the German School of Technology – Technische Hochschule to create what is now known as Wroclaw Tech.
Wroclaw Tech takes pride in inspiring and supporting the development of individuals who, driven by knowledge and ethical standards, remain sensitive to social needs and global challenges. The university encourages its students to shape the future with courage and responsibility. As a European technical university, it upholds values like freedom, truth, curiosity, and the joy of learning. Wroclaw Tech actively engages in interdisciplinary research and provides education that aligns with the expectations of society and the economy.
Wrocław, located in south-western Poland, is a dynamic metropolis that beautifully blends a rich history with modernity. The city’s tapestry comprises various traditions, cultures, and religions, making it a captivating destination for visitors from around the world.
Wroclaw Tech’s main campus is situated in the heart of the city, making it easily accessible via public transportation. To reduce traffic congestion in the old part of the city, where parking areas are limited, it is recommended to use trams, buses, city bikes, or simply enjoy a leisurely walk. Public transport information, including timetables and ticket prices, can be found here.
For the duration of the Dialogue, a 72-hour ticket is recommended, offering unlimited use of public transport. Remember to validate your ticket within buses or trams. Temporary tickets require validation only once.
