Another deep-sea vehicle, "Ukwiał" has been delivered to the minesweepers
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology is contributing to national defense. On October 22, 2024, following successful acceptance trials, the team at the Deep-Sea Technology Laboratory handed over another "Ukwiał" deep-sea vehicle after it had undergone a major overhaul at the Faculty. The vehicle is now in use by teh Navy from the 12th Wolin Minesweeper Squadron of the 8th Coastal Defense Flotilla in Świnoujście, operating on project 207 P minesweepers.
The "Ukwiał" deep-sea system, equipped with a remotely operated underwater vehicle, is designed for detecting, identifying, and neutralising sea mines in waters ranging from 5 to 200 metres deep. It can also be used for a variety of observational tasks in the water and for basic manipulative operations.
Eco-Friendly Unboxing: Sustainable Packaging in Action!
Is it possible to transform the textile, clothing, footwear, and leather industries by introducing sustainable packaging? An international team is working on this as part of the UNBOXING project under the Erasmus+ programme.
The goal of the UNBOXING project – Innovating Sustainable Packaging Solutions for the Textile, Clothing, Footwear, and Leather (TCFL) industries – is to equip participants with skills related to sustainable packaging in the industry, provide trainers with tools for TCFL training, support TCFL stakeholders in adopting sustainable packaging practices, and motivate individuals from disadvantaged groups to take action towards environmentally friendly work.

Prof. Michał Wasilczuk became a member of the advisory team for the Polish Research Infrastructure Map
On July 26, 2024, the Minister of Science, Dariusz Wieczorek, appointed an advisory team for the 'Polish Research Infrastructure Map.' Among the 24 scientists, there are two representatives from the Gdańsk University of Technology: Prof. Michał Wasilczuk and Prof. Jacek Stefański.
The Polish Research Infrastructure Map was established in 2009 at the initiative of the Minister of Science and Higher Education. This initiative brings together infrastructure with the highest potential for scientific excellence, combining research resources in areas key to the development of science and the country. Additionally, it monitors Polish scientific institutions in terms of their investment policies and scientific and infrastructural resources.

Students discover the secrets of the stratosphere
Members of the SimLE student club from the Gdańsk University of Technology are working on an exciting research project called STORMDUST. The project's goal is to understand how microorganisms inhabiting the stratosphere have adapted to climate change and to study the chemical compounds present at specific altitudes in the stratosphere. This project is being carried out as part of the international REXUS/BEXUS programme, which is based on an agreement between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA), in close cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA).
