Water is among the most important natural resources on Earth. It is therefore crucial to take action to protect its resources. According to the UN, more than 2 billion people currently live in areas where there is a risk of limited access to drinking water. By 2050, it is estimated that at least one in four people worldwide will live in a country experiencing chronic or periodic drinking water scarcity.
Gdansk University of Technology has been pursuing a policy of effective thermal energy conservation for many years. We perform high-cost activities, such as thermal modernization of buildings, replacement of window frames and modernization of heating systems.
The current situation mobilizes us to intensify savings measures
and reduce heat losses during the heating season.
The current energy and economic situation poses new challenges for our academic community. Accordingly, we are all making an effort to conserve natural resources and energy.
We are convinced that each of us feels responsible for the welfare of our University.
Activities range from river and maritime hydraulics to water resources development and eco-hydraulics, through to ice engineering, hydro-informatics and continuing education and training. IAHR stimulates and promotes both research and it's application, and by so doing strives to contribute to sustainable development, the optimisation of the world's water resources management and industrial flow processes.
In total, Gdańsk University of Technology was classified in five fields. In addition to "Physical Sciences", "Engineering", "Computer Sciences" and "Business and Economics" included in the previous edition of the ranking, this year it was also classified for the first time in the "Life Sciences" area.
The report presents numerous activities undertaken by Gdańsk Tech for the benefit of the environment, society and the economy, which indicate the direction our University is taking in terms of sustainable development.
The World’s TOP 2% Scientists is developed based on the sicentific output of researchers and adopts evaluation criteria such as the number of citations, Hirsch index, and the position and role of a given researcher on the list of authors [more on the methodology].
The goal of the program is to increase the effectiveness of Gdansk University of Technology in competing for the most talented candidates for studies, in fields corresponding to the subject matter of POB Centers.
The way to achieve the goal is through scholarships for particularly talented, based on the achievements obtained at the previous educational stage, students entering full-time studies of the first or second degree at Gdansk University of Technology.
Under the Program, it is possible to obtain funding to cover the costs of activities aimed at obtaining or extending international legal protection for an invention.
