Abstract

Ignacy Lukasiewicz belongs to the group of Poles whose work and activity had a great, positive impact on the development of our country and the whole world. He was born 200 years ago, in March 1822. He is the founder of the global oil industry. In 2022, the scientific achievements of Ignacy Lukasiewicz were commemorated. Nowadays, many branches of the chemical, cosmetic and modern technology industries are based on the crude oil distillation process. A series of events commemorating the activity of this great Pole has been prepared in our voivodship. In the second half of 2022, the Lukasiewicz Science Center will be opened, in Jasionka, near Rzeszow. Among the achievements of Lukasiewicz, the creation of the world's first crude oil mine in Bobrka in the Krosno poviat, and then the commissioning of several refineries is of particular importance. The students of Rzeszow University of Technology and University of Rzeszow prepared a musical about this great chemist and inventor, based on the script and directed by Tadeusz Urban - a student of the University of Rzeszow at the Faculty of Music Education. Through music, singing and dance, students from the Rzeszow University of Technology choir recalled the life and activities of this outstanding pharmacist and philanthropist. The musical emphasizes the importance of Lukasiewicz's role in the history of the most important inventions in the history of mankind. In the musical, the youth sang many songs, among others the anthem for the city of Rzeszow, The Drilling Ballade, the anthem of the Rzeszow University of Technology. Since 1974, Ignacy Lukasiewicz has been the patron of the Rzeszow University of Technology. Musical fragments will be presented at the conference.
