Creation of the Daniel Fahrenheit University Association, formation of a new Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, a new strategy for the development of the university, the establishment of the Economic Convention at Gdańsk Tech, as well as educational challenges resulting from the epidemic situation - these were the most important initiatives and events at Gdańsk University of Technology in the past year. The Senate of the university approved the "Report on the activities of Gdańsk University of Technology for 2020", which was presented at the meeting by prof. Dariusz Mikielewicz, vice-rector for organization and development.

Science

In 2020, the number of scientific promotions increased: the title of professor was obtained by 11 scientists (compared to eight nominations in 2019), 56 researchers received the degree of habilitated doctor (36 titles in 2019), and the group of young scientists increased by 49 doctoral students.

Black Open Access

Free access to paid scientific articles. “Black” refers to the various methods through which scientific articles or other content are shared illegally. In reference to the 2008 manifesto by Aaron Swarz, illegal access to scientific publications is also referred to as Guerrilla OA.

Bronze Open Access

Scientific publications shared for public circulation, e.g. on the publisher’s website, without specifying the rules for further use under a licence.

This term was coined relatively recently (around 2015) in response to the need to include a new category of open access that did not fit the existing definitions.
