History
Wroclaw University of Technology was founded August 24, 1945. A group of 27 professors, originating from the University and Technical University of Lwów, arrived in Wroclaw and started the Polish academic society in the destroyed buildings of the former Technische Hochschule Breslau. The first lecture was given by Kazimierz Idaszewski on 15th November, 1945, and since then that day has been celebrated as Wroclaw Science Day.
In 1951 the university was divided into two institutions. The first rector of the newly established Wroclaw University of Technology was Dionizy Smolenski. From this moment, the Polytechnic developed quickly and underwent numerous organisational changes.
