Scientists from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology of Gdańsk University of Technology have designed a hydraulic-mechanical automatic transmission for agricultural vehicles and working machines. It will allow for a smooth change of gear at low speed and a step change of gear in the range of high speeds.

The gearbox was designed under the Lider VIII program. The project was financed by the National Center for Research and Development. The co-financing amount was PLN 1 197 500.

In June 2022, the Senate of Gdańsk University of Technology adopted a modified Code and a procedure for acting in case of mobbing or discrimination in the broad sense.

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.

The amount will be allocated to the construction of a prototype of a vehicle enabling the unmanned performance of mine defense tasks MD, in particular the recognition and identification of mine-like objects (MILCO).

– 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.

Sea transport is particularly vulnerable due to the complex, often unpredictable environment in which it operates. Threats may arise from both deliberate and accidental actions (hydrometeorological, mechanical conditions, etc.). Providing navigational safety, including collision avoidance, is one of the main and most important issues related to the issue of fleet development.

An autonomous ship will be constructed that will collect waste from water and other ships, and will be powered by electricity. On 5 April, prof. Sławomir Milewski, Vice-Rector for Science and Adam Ślipy, President of Seatech Engineering, signed a consortium agreement for the implementation of the project.
