FarU research infrastructure at hand

FarU equipment
Scientists of the Fahrenheit Universities have gained a new tool, which will make projects and research work significantly easier. As part of the grant project titled Supporting University Consolidation Processes, a system of joint management of member universities’ infrastructure was developed. 133 items of large apparatus and 59 laboratories (core lab), including 2 strategic ones, were placed on the list.

Based on the analysis of the MUG, Gdańsk Tech and UG infrastructure in terms of the technologies and applications in use, 18 key categories were distinguished and the share of each university’s infrastructure in each of the categories.

Scientists will turn food waste into compounds more valuable than biogas

Dominika Grubba
Compounds of greater value than methane sourced from household scraps and food production waste? Scientists from Gdańsk University of Technology and China are working on a new technology for processing food waste, thanks to which it will be possible to recover carboxylic acids needed to produce polymers, pharmaceuticals, solvents or food additives.  

The project, carried out under the supervision of prof. Jacek Mąkinia from Gdańsk University of Technology and prof. Xiang Li from Donghua University in Shanghai, is a response to the global challenge posed by wasting food and, consequently, the accumulation of food waste. It is estimated that the population of 7 billion generates annually about 1.3 billion tons of food waste, while per household it is respectively 54 kg in Poland (the EU average is 76 kg) and 16 kg in China.
