The establishment of the Lodz University of Technology is associated with the history and development of the industrial Lodz and its fast developing textile industry. After a long battle of establishing a university, on May 24th 1945 the decree that officially brought the Lodz University of Technology into being was signed. Apart from new facilities built in the recent years, a few historic 19th century villas and factory buildings were adapted, revitalized and adjusted to its needs. Reinhold Richter’s Villa, here in the photograph, characterised by a true eclecticism of forms since 1985 has been used as the Rector’s main office.

The International Conference Biodeterioration and Protection of Cultural Heritage will be held in the building of the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences.

The Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences at the Lodz University of Technology started its scientific and educational activity on September 1st 1950. Within over 65 years, it carried out many basic and applied research in industrial, environmental and food biotechnology.
