The Academic Sports Gala takes place in autumn each year and is a summary of ASA’s activities during the academic year. Although the restrictions had a significant impact on academic sports, we managed to conduct the entire series of Polish Academic Championships, which is one of the most important tasks of ASA.

Of over 428 000 people who started higher education at Polish universities in October, as many as 25 000 wanted to study at Gdańsk University of Technology. In the list of the most frequently chosen public universities in Poland - according to the total number of applications of candidates for first and second cycle studies - GUT took second place in the country, after the Warsaw University of Technology (45 000 applications).

As part of the agreement signed on 27 November by prof. Krzysztof Wilde, rector of Gdańsk University of Technology and Piotr Grzelak, vice-president of Gdańsk, research teams of employees, students and doctoral students will be included in the design process for the development of waterside areas as part of the Gdańsk Development Office's study ‘Policy of streams and small rivers. Sustainable management of riverside areas with respect for natural values and flood protection’.

The aim of the list is to distinguish, appreciate and, above all, promote women who specialize in various areas of the 5G network (technical, business, legal and public administration). It is also an attempt to draw attention to the problem of the lack of women in this field and in the entire telecommunications industry. Luiza Leszkowska is the youngest in this group and at the same time one of the two representatives of universities.

Co-financing from the National Science Center will be awarded to four projects from the Faculty of Chemistry and one each from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture:

AI Living Lab is a modern, well-equipped laboratory in the field of intelligent solutions integrated into the human environment (Internet of Things IoT, ambient intelligence, ambient assistive living, etc.).

Special didactic classes, conducted on November 17 and 19, were held as part of the ‘Software Project in Computer Networks in the Software Engineering’ course. It is conducted at an American university by prof. Janusz Zalewski, who has been cooperating with the Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering for several years.

The project was started in 2020. The final result of the work will be a device in the form of a small webcam cooperating with dental tips. The camera will allow the dentist to observe the tooth closely and in real time during the dental procedure. The device will allow the doctor to work more precisely in hard-to-reach places, which will shorten the time of the procedure and potentially reduce the pain associated with it.

The new studies will be based on the second-cycle studies conducted by both universities, i.e. ‘Aerospace Technologies’, ‘Computer Science’ and ‘Electrical and Electronics Engineering’ at the Hochschule Bremen and ‘Space and Satellite Technologies’ conducted by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of ETI of Gdańsk University of Technology together with the Maritime University of Gdynia, the Naval Academy in Gdynia and the University of Gdańsk.

GUT calendars for 2021 are available in the following formats:
