Scientific circles

Scientific Assosciation of Food Technologists

KNTŻ was founded by students and is for students who want to use the knowledge gained during their studies in a practical way and develop their interests. The members of KNTŻ are mainly students of the following faculties: food technology and human nutrition, food safety, commodity science in the bioeconomy. As a university-wide organization, it is also open to students of other faculties, enthusiasts of food technology and nutrition. As part of the KNTŻ activities, students carry out scientific research, the results of which are presented at foreign and domestic scientific conferences. Active participation in the activities of the organization gives the opportunity to obtain additional points when applying for the rector’s scholarship.
As they say about themselves:
“We are an independent unit, which is why the vast majority of initiatives implemented by KNTŻ are students’ ideas. Anyone can submit their idea and carry out research projects with the help of the Faculty’s employees and numerous laboratories at the Faculty of Food Technology. Working at KNTŻ enables you to gain knowledge and skills. The independence that is gained during the implementation of projects is valued on the labor market in the profession of food technologist. The activity of KNTŻ is not limited only to research projects, there are also seminars and conferences. Cooperation with the food industry allows for trips to plants and the implementation of their own ideas and projects there. “

Scientific Circle of Quality Management

KNZJ has been operating at the Faculty of Food Technology since 2012, bringing together the most active students interested in expanding their knowledge of food quality, including its safety and quality management, as well as gaining scientific and organizational experience. The activity of KNZJ is directed to students of the Faculty of Food Technology of all three faculties.
Here, not only skills and knowledge count, but also a head full of ideas. Both the club supervisor and the team of WTŻ employees help students in their implementation. KNZJ is not only about projects and publications, but also seminars, conferences and fairs where you can broaden your knowledge
and find inspiration for further action.
The most important activities of KNZJ include conducting scientific and research works, the results of which have been presented so far mainly at the annual Reviews of Scientific Circles of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, as well as at other national conferences.

In December 2017 KNZJ members won two awards in the paper category for the presentation of their research works at the Review of the Scientific Clubs of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW:

  • 2nd prize for the lecture entitled “Study of bioactive substances in fruit juices intended for various consumer groups”
  • 3rd prize for the lecture entitled “Currant for meats – a new addition to meat products.”

Green Chemistry Science Club

KNZCh is an inter-departmental circle established in December 2013. It brings together the most active students of various faculties of WULS-SGGW (including food safety, food technology and human nutrition, commodity science in the bioeconomy, horticulture, construction, animal science, forestry, environmental protection), interested in natural sciences, who are willing to expand their knowledge and apply it in practice. The headquarters of KNZCh is located in the Department of Chemistry of the Institute of Food Sciences. The main tasks of KNZCh are: developing scientific interests among students and implementing them in scientific and research work, conducting work popularizing knowledge in the field of green chemistry, enabling the directional development of members of the club and shaping the ability to solve problems independently, implement projects and establish professional contacts.
