Researchers from the Institute of Radiocommunications of the Faculty of Computing and Telecommunications of PUT, prof. dr hab. inż. Hanna Bogucka and dr hab. inż. Adrian Kliks, have joined the international 6G Flagship initiative (https://www.oulu.fi/6gflagship/) aimed at research on next-generation mobile networks - 6G. The initiative gathers experts from various circles around the world, including scientists and representatives of business and industry, and aims to stimulate further technical development in the field of wireless communications. Currently, there is a multifaceted discussion on defining the vision of wireless communications in the year 2030. It will produce a series of over a dozen white papers presenting selected aspects of 6G mobile networks. The Polish scientists will participate in this initiative both as wireless telecommunication experts (authors of papers), and as editing assistants. For more information, please visit the website of the project's lead institution - the Oulu University in Finland (https://www.oulu.fi/6gflagship/).

Paweł Kryszkiewicz, PhD, received in February 2020 a Senior Award scholarship from Polish-U.S. Fulbright Commission in academic year 2020/2021. It covers research placement in the United States at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) for over 3.5 months. The grant planned to start in September 2020 has been moved to the first quarter of 2021 due to the epidemiological situation. Dr Kryszkiewicz will work on multicarrier wireless communications systems abstraction for dynamic spectrum access. This research will be based on Model-Based System Engineering methodology as a result of collaboration with expert in this field, dr Shamsnaz Virani Bhada, employed at WPI.

Prof. Bogucka joined a delegation of Vice-Rectors for Research from the Wielkopolska and Lubuskie regions for a series of meetings with the policy-makers of the European Commission and European Parliament, i.a., with the Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Mariya Gabiel, the Chair of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE), Cristian-Silviu Buşoi, the President of the European Research Council (ERC), prof. Mauro Ferrari, and members of the European Parliament (including two former Polish Prime Ministers and the President of EP - prof. Jerzy Buzek and Ewa Kopacz). The discussions concerned the perspectives, prospects and opportunities in the future Horizon Europe framework programme, as well as scientific research and innovation funding.

During the National Conference on Radiocommunication, Radio- and Television Broadcasting in 2019, Łukasz Kułacz received the Best Paper Award in the Young Authors Competition sponsored by the Foundation for the Support of Radiocommunication and Multimedia Techniques Development.

The awarded paper has been entitled: "Dense wireless network inspired by the nervous system".

Prof. dr hab. inż. Krzysztof Wesołowski has been elected the member of the Scientific Excellence Council (in Polish: Rady Doskonałości Naukowej - RDN)  in the scientific discipline of computer engineering and telecommunications. On the 1st of June 2019, RDN has officially started its four-years term. It is a new governmental institution established to assure high standards of scientific research required to accomplish scientific degrees, degrees in art and the professor title.

In the national contest awarding the best PhD theses in radiocommunications and multimedia technologies dr inż. Krzysztof Cichoń won 2nd place with his dissertation on "Reliable and Energy Efficient Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Systems". It was written under the supervision of prof. dr hab. inż. Hanna Bogucka, with auxiliary supervision of dr inż. Adrian Kliks. The award was granted by the Foundation for the Development of Radiocommunication and Multimedia Technologies and announced at the opening session of the National Conference on Radiocommunications and Broadcasting held in Gdańsk on June 20, 2018. In this year's editio of the contest, no 1st prize was awarded, only two 2nd prizes of equal rank. Congratulations!

We are proud to inform that Bartosz Bossy, an employee of the Institute of Radiocommunications of the Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications of PUT, won the 1st prize in the Young Authors' Competition at the 2018 National Conference on Radiocommunicatons and Broadcasting held on June 20-22, 2018.
