The Grand Prize of the ProInvent 2020 Salon was won by the UPT team

The inventive spirit of Politehnica University Timisoara team was recognized by winning the Grand Prize of the International Exhibition of Invention and Research ProInvent 2020, organized by the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. At the current edition, Politehnica University Timisoara participated with 24 inventions, research projects, teaching stands, a spectacular increase compared to last year, when it participated with only 7 inventions.

The theme of the show was related to innovative materials, processes, and products (energy, environment, health, agriculture, resources, etc.), graphic presentations accompanied by models, prototypes, finished products, series, video presentations, as well as data on the social and financial impact of the work, enjoying the appreciation of the jury.

The specialized jury evaluated the diversity, adaptability, and practical applicability of the inventions presented by the UPT team, led by the invention salons aficionado, lecturer Corneliu Birtok-Băneasă, Ph.D., rewarding them with the Grand Prize of the Salon. The prizes obtained for each work will be sent by the organizers in the next period.
