Diagnomatic Cheers On Young Inventors from the Chełm Region
The Chełm region again ranks high in Poland's national Technical Innovation Olympiads — 7 laureates and 16 finalists. Diagnomatic was among the companies that funded awards for this year's participants.
On 27 May 2026, the Technical Schools Complex (Zespół Szkół Technicznych) in Chełm hosted a ceremony summarising the results of the region's students in five olympiads on technical innovation and invention. Diagnomatic — the brand of Pro-Project, based in Okszów near Chełm — was among the companies that funded awards for this year's participants. For us it comes naturally: we are from here, and we are glad when technical talent grows right next door.
And there was plenty to be glad about. Forty-six students from six Chełm secondary schools competed in the regional rounds. The olympiads are organised by the Polish Union of Associations of Inventors and Rationalizers (Polski Związek Stowarzyszeń Wynalazców i Racjonalizatorów) in cooperation with the Ministry of National Education and the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland; the regional rounds were held under the honorary patronage of the Mayor of Chełm, Jakub Banaszek, and are organised locally by the “RKTiR” Educational and Technical Association. At the national level, students from the Chełm district earned 7 laureate and 16 finalist titles — a result that opens the door to technical universities and brings a 100% score on the written part of the vocational examination.
Behind these numbers are real young people and a full year of work. Our congratulations go in particular to:
Olympiad of Knowledge about Invention
Michał Sapiszko (2nd General Secondary School in Chełm), laureate title; finalists: Tomasz Dyczko (ZST) and Patrycja Cichocka (ZSEiM).
Technical Innovation in Electronics and Mechatronics
3rd place and the laureate title for “FIRSTMed – Strzał w ratowanie Życia” (FIRSTMed – A Shot at Saving Lives), an emergency-medicine project (Urszula Ślusarska, Patrycja Czupryn, Michał Kulik, ZST; supervisor Grzegorz Jegorow). A distinction and the finalist title for “F.I.G.A.R.O.” — an autonomous robotic platform for cleaning, logistics and care tasks (Darek Siekiera, Hanna Radziszewska, Michał Helm, ZST; supervisors Elżbieta Lipska and Grzegorz Jegorow).
Technical Innovation in Mechanics
3rd place and the laureate title for “TSI – Tool Setting Informator” by Miłosz Bartoszewski (ZSEiT). A distinction and the finalist title for an automated deposit-packaging return and sorting system (Urszula Ślusarska, Michał Kulik, Patrycja Czupryn, ZST).
Technical Innovation in Environmental Protection
2nd place and the laureate title for “WisentMatch”, a system for increasing the genetic diversity of European bison (Urszula Ślusarska, Patrycja Czupryn, Michał Kulik, ZST). Distinctions for two research projects: on the phytoremediation of textile wastewater (Francesca Ferrigno, 4th General Secondary School; supervisor Katarzyna Matuła) and on chitosan in biodegradable functional coatings (Agnieszka Chodorowska, Aleksander Oleszczuk, 1st General Secondary School; supervisor Teresa Świś).
It is hard to miss that the same trio — Urszula Ślusarska, Patrycja Czupryn and Michał Kulik — was behind award-winning projects in three different disciplines, from emergency medicine to genetics. That is a remarkable run of consistent work.
Diagnomatic designs and manufactures quality-control tools for medical imaging equipment in the Chełm region, used by hospitals and imaging departments around the world. All the more reason to support places where technical curiosity is born — because today's olympiad participants are the engineers we will be working with a few years from now. We thank the organiser, the “RKTiR” Association, along with the other companies and individuals who jointly funded this year's awards, and we warmly congratulate all the laureates, finalists and their supervisors.
