We are happy to announce that the Students2SPACE Lab, coordinated by Cătălin Chelmuș, was granted the 1st EELISA Space Challenge project proposal, as part of the Space for all newly established community, in response to the 7th Eelisa - European University Joint Call, co-funded by the European Union.

This is a truly remarkable result and a unique opportunity for our institute.

The project aims to organize a two-day event focused on Space Industry and Space Technologies (SRA6). The event targets students, educators, and industry professionals, bringing them together through challenge-based learning activities such as a satellite hackathon, rocketry workshops with launch opportunities, a rocketry round table, and a space technology exposition.

Stay tuned with us for the following!

These achievements demonstrate the dedication, innovation, and collaborative spirit of our academic community, while also showcasing the opportunities created through international initiatives such as EELISA. Through participation in projects, competitions, and interdisciplinary collaborations, we continue to support innovation, research, sustainability, and the development of future professionals ready to contribute to global challenges.

We – the Quantum Optics and Optoelectronics Lab, coordinated by Prof. Mona Mihăilescu – were there, namely at the SPIE Photonics Europe conference, in Strasbourg, France, one of the most complex and important European events dedicated to optics and photonics research.

The conference brought together specialists, research teams, and industry representatives from all over the world, with more than 200 presented articles covering cutting-edge applications in AR/VR, biophotonics, lasers, quantum technologies, medicine, and industrial systems.

During the conference, we presented an innovative application of hyperspectral microscopy for the segmentation of real-cell images collected directly from medical laboratories, without requiring chemical staining. By using VIS–NIR hyperspectral profiles acquired at pixel level, we mathematically developed several spectral descriptors that served as input data for machine learning algorithms.

Through such initiatives, our team remains committed to advancing innovation and developing practical solutions with real impact in science, medicine, and industry. Universitatea POLITEHNICA din București

We – the Students2SPACE Lab, coordinated by Cătălin Chelmuș – were there, namely at the 5th Symposium on Space Educational Activities , in Munich, Germany.

SSEA is organised by the European Space Agency’s Education Office and provides a forum for university students, professionals working in education, and other professionals in industry or agencies to present and discuss their experiences organising, running and/or participating in Educational Activities related to Space.

The event brought together partners, institutions, and organizations from around the world to share ideas and explore solutions for advancing space education and developing future aerospace programs. It was an opportunity to present our work on rocked technology under the theme “Hands-On Strategies for Advancing Space Education in Pre-University and University Contexts”. We also had the opportunity to meet stakeholders from the field and establish new cooperation perspectives.

Through such initiatives, we remain committed to empowering future engineers and supporting progress in space technologies. Universitatea POLITEHNICA din București

We – the GEOspatial and Smart SENSors for Environmental Applications Research Lab, coordinated by Prof. Daniela Faur and Prof. Dragos Ioan Sacaleanu – were there, namely at the International Spring School on Advanced Remote Sensing – Focus on Agriculture, hosted by the Facultatea de Îmbunătățiri Funciare și Ingineria Mediului within Universitatea De Stiinte Agronomice Si Medicina Veterinara Bucuresti.

The event brought together students, researchers, and young professionals to explore innovative approaches in remote sensing and digital agriculture. It was a valuable opportunity to exchange expertise, share practical insights, and contribute to a more sustainable and data-driven agricultural future.

We contributed with dedicated sessions on wireless sensor networks, environmental monitoring, and hands-on applications of WSN technologies for agriculture. Participants also engaged in Earth Observation workflows for precision agriculture, including Sentinel-2 time series analysis for crop phenology monitoring using Google Colab notebooks.

Through this initiative, we strengthened the growing collaboration between Universitatea POLITEHNICA din București and Universitatea De Stiinte Agronomice Si Medicina Veterinara Bucuresti, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing applied research and extension-oriented initiatives in digital agriculture and environmental innovation.
