Literature review seminar – summary
On 19 January, a seminar dedicated to the literature review process was held at Gdańsk University of Technology. The event brought together students, doctoral candidates, and others interested in strengthening their research skills and adopting a systematic approach to working with academic literature.
During the seminar, participants were introduced to structured and practical methods for navigating the literature review process, which can significantly support the preparation of research projects, academic articles, and theses. The event also provided an opportunity to deepen methodological knowledge, exchange experiences, and discuss best practices related to conducting a systematic literature review.

Gdańsk Tech as the only foreign partner in the French MucFib project
The international research project MucFib, implemented in collaboration with the Gdańsk University of Technology, has the potential to lead to healthier nutrition for farm animals, more effective feed additives and new solutions in functional foods and prebiotics for humans. Research into the impact of fibre from legumes on the small intestine, funded by the French government, will enable the identification of the most beneficial sources and forms of fibre that support gastrointestinal health and effective nutrient absorption.
Adam Macierzanka, PhD, DSc, Eng., professor at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Gdańsk University of Technology, is a co-applicant for the international research project MucFib (Impact of legume dietary fibres on piglet small intestinal mucosa), which has received funding from the French government under the ANR-AAPG-2025 programme. The project will be implemented from 2026 to 2029, with a total budget of EUR 336,234.
