The European Commission has selected the Pomeranian Digital Innovation Hub (PDIH) consortium coordinated by the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone (PSEZ) / Gdańsk Science and Technology Park (GSTP) as one of several national centers responsible for digital transformation in Poland.

In total, only 136 centers of this type were selected throughout the European Union, which were given the status of European Digital Innovation Hub - EDIH. They will play a key role as regional one-stop-shops where companies will be able to find a comprehensive set of information and services, including the necessary pilot infrastructure to meet their digital and green transformation needs.

A new method of corrosion monitoring

corosion
Metal elements of ocean engineering structures are exposed to corrosion damage caused by contact with salt water. Corrosion can cover the entire surface of the tested structure, but it can also take the form of point damage, i.e. pits. Beata Zima, PhD, Eng. from the Institute of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology is working on creating such a method of monitoring the progress of destruction that allows to assess global damage and to detect potential cracks and pitting.

The project "Monitoring the technical condition of metal structures subjected to corrosion degradation" received PLN 1,063,460 in funding in the SONATA competition organized by the National Science Center.

Gdańsk Tech becomes the Polish Academic Champion for the third time in a row!

Medal
Nearly 20,000 students from 130 universities across the country competed for the title of the best university in the country during PAC 2022. As in the previous two years, the title was awarded to Gdańsk University of Technology!

Once again, our university took part in all the disciplines that are part of the PAC. Only the main competitor of Gdańsk Tech - the University of Warsaw – also succeeded to do so.

Another year on the podium. Gdańsk Tech among the best technical universities in Poland

Perspektywy ranking
Gdańsk University of Technology was placed 3rd in the ranking of the best technical universities and 6th in the classification of all universities in the country, in this year’s ranking of “Perspektywy” Education Foundation. In the ranking by subject, field of study „Environmental Engineering”, the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Gdańsk Tech, was ranked the 1st in Poland.

Perspektywy University Ranking" has been organized since 1999 and is the most important and the most popular ranking of this type in Poland. It takes into account all universities: both public and private (except for academies of art), which have at least one entitlement to award doctoral degrees and have a minimum of 200 full-time students. The correctness and reliability of the ranking is supervised by the Ranking Board, chaired by Prof.

Polymers – from algorithm to personalized medical therapy

Prof. Kucińska-Lipka
Biodegradable implant supporting treatment and disappearing from the organism. Special, multi-layered dressing, not only covering the wound, but also releasing healing substances that induce the healing effects. Tissue scaffold allowing burnt tissue to regenerate and then dissolving.  All of this is possible due to specially-designed properties of polymers, investigated by the researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry, supervised by associate professor Justyna Kucińska-Lipka, DSc.

Targeted therapy, during which the patient does not swallow pills and strain their liver, but has the medicine administered directly where needed, is a chance for a more effective and safer treatment of patients. In many cases, the solution can be polymers – synthetic, natural, biodegradable or biostable materials with broad range of properties.
