Important information for the new international students

Important information for the new international students
Are you an international student starting your studies at Gdańsk University of Technology in October? Be sure you know about the events we have prepared for you and your colleagues who are also starting their student adventure in Gdańsk.

At the beginning of each new academic year, Gdańsk Tech International Relations Office invites newly admitted international students (Polish and English-speaking) to participate in two important events: the Registration Week and the Welcome Meeting. This year all the newcomers and students from other Gdańsk universities will additionally be able to take part in a free guided tour of Gdańsk and a parade inaugurating the beginning of the academic year.

"Hey, are you OK?" project

"Hey, are you OK?" project
Consultations with a psychologist, workshops on mediation and cultural differences, and even yoga and mindfulness classes - the project "Hey, are you OK?" addressed to students and employees of Gdańsk University of Technology starts in September. 

CHECK THE OFFICIAL PROJECT WEBSITE

More and more universities in Poland, Europe and all over the world offer their students and employees support in the field of wellbeing. The constant presence of a psychologist at the university, events such as a mental health week, workshops and lectures on caring for mental and physical health are important elements of the activities of many universities.

A new method of corrosion monitoring

A new method of corrosion monitoring
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.

A new specialization in offshore studies at GdańskTech in cooperation with PGE

A new specialization in offshore studies at GdańskTech in cooperation with PGE
Design and construction of marine power systems is a new specialization in the field of ocean engineering at Gdańsk University of Technology. Its main partner is PGE, which is implementing the project to build the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm, the largest offshore wind farm in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea.  

– One of the pillars of cooperation between business and science is setting new directions in education. In order to build the domestic offshore wind energy market, it is necessary to educate future experts. That is why we have started cooperation with Polish scientists and lecturers who will manage a new specialization at master's studies at Gdańsk University of Technology – said Wojciech Dąbrowski, president of the management board of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna.
