BNEF Logo
On March 18-19, 2025, the Baltic Nuclear Energy Forum will be held at the European Solidarity Centre in Gdańsk.

Among the members of the Scientific Committee for the conference will be the Deputy Director of the Nuclear Energy Center at Gdańsk University of Technology and the Rector's Plenipotentiary for Nuclear Energy at Gdańsk University of Technology, PhD Eng. Marcin Jaskólski.

The aim of the Baltic Nuclear Energy Forum is to establish a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience around innovative solutions in nuclear energy. The conference strives to create new perspectives and develop partnerships, especially in the Baltic Sea region.

Luminescence properties of glasses and glass-ceramics

Karolina Malinowska
For the development of modern technology, research into the characteristics of materials which, due to their unique properties, can be widely used in photonics and optoelectronics as emitters of electromagnetic radiation, among others, plays an important role. Such materials include, for example, glasses and materials combining glass with ceramics which contain rare earth ions in their composition. With these ions present, the materials exhibit the ability to emit electromagnetic radiation and can thus be used in both lasers and LEDs. The research on these materials in her doctoral dissertation was undertaken by Karolina Milewska from the Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics.

Karolina Milewska wrote her doctoral dissertation, entitled “Synthesis, structure and luminescence properties of borate-bismuth glasses and glass-ceramics doped with rare earth ions,” in the field of materials engineering. The doctoral dissertation supervisor is Prof. Barbara Kościelska and the reviewers are Prof. Manuela Reben (AGH University in Cracow), Prof. Wojciech Pisarski (University of Silesia in Katowice) and Prof. Tomasz Pietrzak (Warsaw University of Technology).

2 million PLN for the PROM project – short-term academic exchange

Gdańsk University of Technology has received almost 2 million PLN from National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) for the implementation of the “PROM – short-term academic exchange” project. The activities will be coordinated by the International Relations Office in cooperation with the Doctoral School and the faculties. The project will run from October 2024 until the end of September 2025.

The “PROM – short-term academic exchange” project is one of many NAWA projects which aims to develop university internationalisation. It allows students and university staff to acquire knowledge and skills in an international environment. It also makes it easier for Polish higher education and research institutions to establish and strengthen cooperation with institutions abroad

First Such Certification System for Functional Food

food
F-Food is a new certification system for functional food, i.e. food that is beneficial to the human body and has a specific nutritional value. This is the first such system in Poland and Europe, and Gdańsk University of Technology, together with six other research units from all over Poland, is a key player in it.

Functional food is food that provides additional health benefits on top of its basic nutritional value. They are enriched with active ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, polyunsaturated fatty acids, probiotics, prebiotics, amino acids, peptides or antioxidants, which support health and may contribute to reducing the risk of developing civilisation diseases.
