University System for the Assurance and Improvement of Education Quality


The University System for the Assurance and Improvement of Education Quality was established at Gdańsk University of Technology in 2004 (Rector's Decree No. 9/2004 of 26 March 2004).

Nearly 400 thousand awarded in next edition of Radium program to ISB students

Radium
Seventeen creative projects designed to support particularly talented students engaging in research activities in topics related to priority research areas have received funding from the Radium Learning Through Research Programs for a total value of more than PLN 395,000. Implementation of the projects will make it possible to finance the costs of ongoing research by second-level students in Individual Research Studies.

Impleted call received funding for the following projects:

1. Development of a design with the fabrication of a hydrodynamic thrust bearing and its experimental testing.

   Project manager: Michał Wodtke, Ph.D., awarded funds: PLN 23,980

2. Comparative analysis of the propulsive efficiency of a free propeller, with a nozzle or in a semi-tunnel for a specialized zero-emission waste collection unit in port basins - implemented as a supplement to the ZeroWastePorts project 

Hydroponics and a closed-loop water system – lettuce on a wall

Three scientists
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient containing mineral salt solutions. Hydroponic crops can be grown not only on an industrial scale, but also in home gardens, increasing self-sufficiency of cities when it comes to food production. However, relatively large water consumption and cleaning the used nutrient are disadvantages of this solution. The objective of the research conducted by researchers form the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering is to close water circulation in hydroponic lettuce cultivation by cleaning the leachate in the green wall system.

Urban farming is becoming more and more popular among city residents who want to be in contact with nature and have gardens where they can grow vegetables or fruit for their own use. However, not everyone can afford a traditional home garden, and allotment gardens, once so popular, are often liquidated and designated for development.

Summer school - apply now

students
We are happy to announce summer school on Scattering Theory at Gdańsk University of Technology. Deadline for the application: July, 24th. Don't miss it!

The summer school is dedicated to Bachelor, Master and Doctoral students. For their participation the students will receive credits points according to the ECTS system (microcredentials).

Summary of the project - watch the video

Training participants
We invite you to watch the video report from the summary of the project "How to build a strong, global higher education institution" (Tuesday, July 12, 11:00 a.m.).

In mid-May, we organized the first such training in international promotion at the Gdańsk University of Technology. Together with colleagues from faculties and units, we pondered how to effectively promote the Gdańsk University of Technology in the international arena and how to attract even more talented international students to Gdańsk.

Gdańsk Tech establishes cooperation with the University of Illinois

Representatives of Gdańsk Tech an University of Illinois
For the following five years, Gdańsk University of Technology will be cooperating with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) within the scope of student and doctoral student education, and joint research.

On June 29, Gdańsk University of Technology (Gdańsk Tech) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) signed a letter of intent concerning potential areas of cooperation between the universities. The document, binding for five years, was signed by Prof. Krzysztof Wilde and Prof. Leszek Kalinowski from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Gdańsk Tech), proxy of the rector for the doctoral program conducted with the University of Illinois, and from UIUC by Prof. Mark Anastasio (on-line), dean of the Faculty of Bioengineering and Prof.
