Dr Wandong Zheng from China and Prof Kanzumba Kusakana from South Africa will start research at the Faculty of Environmental Engineering of Wrocław University of Technology related to the use of renewable energy in the Kłodzko and Żywiec districts. The researchers are winners of the Stanisław Ulam Programme organised by the National Agency for Academic Exchange.

Dr Wandong Zheng will focus on the topic of heating and the transformation of the heating system based on renewable sources, transferring his experience from projects carried out in China.

Prof. Kanzumba Kusakana will work on optimising the coupled operation of conventional hydropower reservoirs and hydrokinetic turbines. This is expected to result in more efficient use of the water resources of the Kłodzko and Żywiec districts.

The Ulam programme supports the internationalisation of Polish universities and scientific institutions. It allows recognised and promising scientists with at least a doctoral degree to come to Poland.
