  • Silesian University of Technology is a technical university located in Gliwice, Silesia, Poland. The University was founded on May 24, 1945 and Gliwice was chosen for its seat despite initial plans to locate it in Katowice. What made the city stand out from other places in Upper Silesia was space potential it offered. Here, empty buildings, grouped in a small area, could be converted and used for didactic and administrative purposes as well as turned into halls of residence for students and teachers. The concept went along with a far reaching vision to establish an academic district. Another strength of Gliwice were research workers and students of the former Lwow Polytechnic who were resettled here after World War II. The foundation of the Silesian University of Technology fulfilled the idea which had been present in the consciousness of the Silesian community for a long time. Since research development and didactic activity were essential to support this highly industrialized and having great prospects area, the first actions to set up a technical university in this region were taken as early as in the late 1920s. The inauguration ceremony of the first academic year was held in Gliwice on October 29, 1945. At the time the University had a student population of 2750. It used educational curricula taken from the Technical University in Lvov at four faculties: Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering and employed nearly 200 academics. The outstanding teaching staff, made up mainly of professors of the former Technical University in Lvov, were one of the strongest assets of the University since its foundation.
