In a warm and festive atmosphere, the academic community of the University of Lomza came together for its annual Christmas gathering. The event offered a meaningful pause in the intensity of the end-of-semester period and created space for conversation, shared reflection, and strengthening bonds between students, academic staff, and university employees.

A highlight of the evening was a Christmas performance prepared by University students. Their original nativity play offered a fresh and thoughtful interpretation of Christmas traditions, skillfully combining classical motifs with elements of everyday academic life. Viewed through the perspective of young people, the performance balanced humour and distance with moments of genuine reflection, making it both engaging and emotionally resonant.

The stage presentation moved seamlessly between light-hearted scenes that drew smiles from the audience and more contemplative moments inviting reflection on the meaning of Christmas, interpersonal relationships, and the value of community. Through their performance, the students demonstrated not only creativity and artistic sensitivity, but also a strong sense of responsibility for shaping the cultural life of the University.

The evening concluded with shared carol singing, the traditional sharing of Christmas wafers, and the exchange of heartfelt wishes. Together, these moments created an atmosphere of closeness and authenticity, leaving participants with a lasting sense of unity and the true spirit of the holiday season.

The Christmas gathering once again confirmed that the University of Lomza is not only a place of academic development, but also a vibrant community built on mutual respect, openness, and shared values.

For the tenth time, the University of Lomza served as a key logistics centre for Szlachetna Paczka, one of Poland’s most recognised nationwide charity initiatives. During the Weekend of Miracles, held on 13–14 December 2025, the University once again became a hub of coordinated support, bringing together students, academic staff, administrative employees, and members of the local community around the shared goal of providing meaningful help.

Szlachetna Paczka is a long-established social programme that supports families facing difficult life circumstances by delivering carefully prepared aid packages tailored to their real needs. Each year, the initiative mobilises thousands of volunteers, donors, and partner institutions across the country, combining solidarity with practical action.

This year, students of the University of Lomza prepared a support package for a single mother raising three children. Working closely with University staff, they ensured that the assistance addressed the family’s actual needs rather than offering symbolic help. As in previous editions, the University provided its facilities to serve as a logistics warehouse, while the academic community actively participated in volunteer activities.

Volunteers included both academic teachers and administrative staff, as well as students involved in the Student Government. Together, they coordinated the collection, preparation, and distribution process, ensuring that the initiative ran smoothly and efficiently.

Long-term involvement in initiatives such as Szlachetna Paczka reflects the University of Lomza’s commitment to social responsibility and its strong ties to the local community. Participation in the programme is a practical expression of the values the University upholds—solidarity, empathy, and cooperation—demonstrating that academic institutions play an important role not only in education and research, but also in building a more inclusive and supportive society.

The University of Lomza once again celebrates a significant academic achievement by one of its graduates. Mateusz Bloch, a graduate of the second-cycle (Master’s) Computer Science programme at the Faculty of Informatics and Technology of the University of Lomza, was awarded first place in the 7th edition of the national competition for the best master’s thesis organised by the Industrial Development Agency S.A. (ARP).

The official award ceremony took place on 15 December 2025 at the PKO Rotunda in Warsaw during the final gala of the “Talents for Industry” competition, held under the patronage of the President of ARP S.A. The event brought together representatives of academia, business, and the industrial sector, as well as authors of outstanding theses addressing innovation, energy transformation, and advanced technologies. Awards were presented by Bartłomiej Babuśka, President of the Management Board of ARP S.A.

The award-winning thesis, entitled “Porting and Optimisation of an Artificial Intelligence Library on the Phoenix-RTOS Platform with Performance and Determinism Evaluation for IoT Applications”, was prepared under the supervision of Piotr Tronczzyk. The work represents advanced research in the fields of embedded systems, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, demonstrating both high technical competence and strong application potential.

This achievement marks the fifth award received by graduates of the Faculty of Informatics and Technology of the University of Lomza in competitions organised by ARP, further confirming the high quality of education and growing national recognition of the University’s Computer Science programmes.

The University of Lomza extends its congratulations to Mateusz Bloch and his thesis supervisor, wishing them continued success in their academic and professional careers.
