Experience the 19th Edition of the Open Day at UITM
The University of Information Technology and Management (UITM) in Rzeszow recently hosted the 19th edition of its Open Day, a flagship event that brings together students, faculty, and visitors to showcase the university’s vibrant scientific clubs and student organizations. The event, held on December 3, 2025, attracted participants from across Poland and beyond, creating a lively, multicultural atmosphere that highlighted the diversity of the UITM community.
What Makes UITM’s Open Day Stand Out?
Unlike typical campus tours, the Open Day focuses on the extracurricular side of university life. Visitors walk through themed booths, interact with club representatives, and sample international snacks that reflect the global makeup of the student body. The event is designed to give prospective students a realistic glimpse into the collaborative, research‑driven culture that defines UITM.
Showcasing Scientific Clubs
Each club booth offers a snapshot of its mission, ongoing projects, and future plans. For example, the MAC Club—an acronym for “Multidisciplinary Academic Community”—displayed a portfolio of student‑led research projects, from data‑analysis tools to prototype hardware. The club’s booth also featured a small “international snack corner,” where students shared treats such as dried fish and nuts, adding an authentic, cultural touch to the experience.
Interactive Sessions and Networking
Visitors were encouraged to ask questions and engage in short talks with club leaders. These interactions helped clarify how students can get involved, what skills they can develop, and how participation can enhance their academic profile. The open format also allowed for spontaneous networking, with many attendees striking up conversations that could lead to future collaborations or mentorship opportunities.
Benefits of Joining a Scientific Club at UITM
Participation in a scientific club offers tangible advantages for students pursuing degrees in information technology, engineering, and related fields:
- Hands‑on Experience: Work on real projects that complement classroom learning.
- Skill Development: Gain proficiency in programming, data analysis, and project management.
- Professional Networking: Connect with peers, faculty, and industry partners.
- Resume Enhancement: Showcase leadership and teamwork on your CV.
- Cross‑Cultural Exposure: Collaborate with international students and broaden your perspective.
These benefits align with UITM’s mission to produce graduates who are ready to tackle complex, interdisciplinary challenges in the global tech landscape.

Why Multicultural Atmosphere Matters
UITM’s student body includes participants from Poland, Ukraine, Russia, and other countries. This diversity enriches club projects by bringing varied perspectives and problem‑solving approaches. For instance, the MAC Club’s recent project on sustainable energy solutions incorporated insights from students with backgrounds in environmental science, electrical engineering, and business administration.
Future Outlook: What’s Next for UITM’s Scientific Clubs?
Following the success of the 19th Open Day, the university plans to expand its club network by:
- Introducing new clubs focused on emerging fields such as artificial intelligence ethics and quantum computing.
