The news of Professor Maciej Mrowiec's death has shocked the entire academic community.

We have lost a wonderful, honest man, full of personal charm and passion, always smiling, kind-hearted, open to new ideas and challenges. In spite of his academic achievements, successive positions and functions, he impressed us with his modesty and exceptional manners. He inspired us with his energy and constant initiatives. We will miss him greatly.

How difficult it is to say a final farewell to someone who was associated with our University for so many years.

He published 20 articles and 65 co-authored articles in national and foreign journals, he was the author or co-author of 6 monographs and 15 chapters in monographs. He was a supervisor of 5 PhD theses and a reviewer of 3 DSc theses. In 2012, he was elected Dean of the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Biotechnology. From 2016 to 2019, he served as a member of the Council of the Committee on Environmental Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences. During the 2016-2020 term, he was Vice-Rector for Innovation and Development and Director of the Institute of Environmental Engineering. In 2020, he took up the position of Vice-Rector for Development at Czestochowa University of Technology, which he held until now.
