gdanskpomaga-logo
The #GdańskHelps campaign helps institutions, as well as private persons, whose functioning is difficult or impossible by the epidemic. Institutions that are helped under the action include hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages.

The #GdańskHelps campaign helps people and institutions whose normal functioning is hindered by the COVID-19 epidemic. The project aims to support local hospitals, nursing homes, non-governmental organizations, municipal services, volunteers and other local units struggling with the lack of appropriate equipment, personal protective equipment or funds for further effective counteracting the coronavirus.

Artificial intelligence will help increase the comfort of dentists' work

The dentist
Scientists from the ETI Faculty of Gdańsk University of Technology are participating in the work on creating a device that works with commonly used dental tips for non-invasive, optical control of the inside of the oral cavity when performing a dental procedure. The project is carried out by Master Level Technologies in cooperation with the GUT special purpose vehicle Excento, as well as Bibus Menos and Lambda System.

The project was started in 2020. The final result of the work will be a device in the form of a small webcam cooperating with dental tips. The camera will allow the dentist to observe the tooth closely and in real time during the dental procedure. The device will allow the doctor to work more precisely in hard-to-reach places, which will shorten the time of the procedure and potentially reduce the pain associated with it.

HELPERS ’GONNA HELP - Become a Donor at Gdańsk University of Technology!

helpers-eng
Gdańsk University of Technology students once again take part in the 12th edition of the nationwide project "HELPERS’ GENERATION "and between December 1 - 15 they register potential donors to the database of the DKMS Foundation.

This year, due to the ban on gatherings, the event could not be held in the university corridors, but it was possible to organize it in a slightly different form. This challenge was undertaken by 2 student DKMS leaders - Paulina Schulz and Julia Zawistowska, who created the so-called "contact network". Almost 30 volunteers were involved in the action, looking for people willing to register among people from their immediate vicinity - friends, family; at work, in the dormitory ... and give them registration kits, of course with all precautions.

International field of study on space technologies

Gdańsk University of Technology and Hochschule Bremen (HSB) will jointly educate high-class specialists in the field of space technologies. The project called SpaceBriGade assumes the creation of an international full-time study program with a general academic profile of the 2nd cycle studies. 15 Polish and 15 German students will study together, alternately at both universities.  

The new studies will be based on the second-cycle studies conducted by both universities, i.e. ‘Aerospace Technologies’, ‘Computer Science’ and ‘Electrical and Electronics Engineering’ at the Hochschule Bremen and ‘Space and Satellite Technologies’ conducted by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of ETI of Gdańsk University of Technology together with the Maritime University of Gdynia, the Naval Academy in Gdynia and the University of Gdańsk.

Project: Language tandem

language-tandem
If you are an open minded, creative person, full of energy, and most of all you want to improve a specific foreign language, we invite you to participate in our TANDEM LANGUAGE project.

What it is?

It is a free project, organized by the International Relations Office Gdańsk University of Technology, addressed to all students interested in foreign culture, establishing international contacts and, above all, learning foreign languages. It consists in contacting Polish-speaking students of our university with foreign students and enabling them to meet, during which, while learning a foreign language, they learn about history and acquire knowledge about a given country.

New superconductors and publication in a prestigious journal

Prof. Tomasz Klimczuk
Prof. Tomasz Klimczuk and PhD student MSc. Eng. Karolina Górnicka from the Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics and the Advanced Materials Center have discovered two new inorganic compounds showing unconventional superconductivity. The results of the research, co-authored by scientists from the AGH University of Science and Technology, Princeton University and Rutgers University (USA), have been published in the Advanced Functional Materials journal (IF = 16.84). Each new superconductor is a step towards finding a material that, when used in practice, can contribute to greater environmental protection and lower electricity bills.

After nearly two years of interdisciplinary research, carried out as part of the NCN Opus and Harmonia grants, a Polish-American team of scientists discovered materials that show superconductivity with a low-dimensional and non-concentric structure and at a relatively high, for superconductors of this type, critical temperature (5-7K) .

Almost PLN 5 million for young scientists in the 1st edition of the ARGENTUM program

Argentum
The granted funds will make it possible to carry out a comprehensive research process and disseminate research results, including the purchase of research equipment, materials, small devices or coverage of the costs of publication of the results. Some of the planned projects will be the basis for applying for international funds, thus implementing the objectives of the Excellence Initiative - Research University program.

In the completed call for applications for the program, 53 applications were submitted, 20 of which received funding:

  • as part of the EKOTECH CENTER

1. Preparation and characterization of new "green" absorbent materials for selective removal of impurities from biogas

            Project leader: PhD, Eng. Patrycja Makoś-Chełstowska, funds granted: PLN 299 425

Almost PLN 7 million from the NCN for the implementation of projects at GUT
