Wśród zaproszonych gości znależli się m.in. prof. Paweł Rowiński-wiceprezes PAN oraz prof. Paolo Papale z instytutu IMGV z Włoch.

Tradycyjnie pani Dyrektor prof. Beata Orlecka-Sikora wręczyła nagrody za ponadprzęciętną i wyróżniającą się działalność publikacyjną w 2018 roku. W tym roku w gronie laureatów znaleźli się: prof. Zbigniew Czechowski, prof. Krzysztof Mizerski, dr hab. Adam Piotrowski, dr Magdalena Mrokowska i dr Mateusz Moskalik. Głosami publiczności nagrody za najlepsze prezentacje osiągnieć naukowych w 2018 roku powędrowały do dr inż. Anny Łobody i dr inż. Marii Kozłowskiej.
