Every year, the International Relations Office organizes an information meeting for foreigners, starting their studies at the Gdańsk University of Technology. The event is not only an opportunity to welcome new foreign students at the University, but also to provide important information related to the beginning of the academic year, organization of studies and life in Gdańsk.

This time the form of the competition is a bit different, since it begins online on September 27 when static events will be held until October 1. Dynamic events will take place in Italy from 10 to 13 October 2021. 

Students of mechatronics (1st degree course, 6th term) have a whole term to design and build an RC vehicle that will go through an obstacle course and parks in a garage.

Date and venue: 19-21 November 2021. The conference will last three days and will have a hybrid form. You can participate in the conference in a stationary mode (first two days, i.e. 19 and 20 November) in CSNE in Wrocław or online (with the aid of ZOOM platform).

Subjects of the course:

Karol Moszyk is currently working on an implementation PhD thesis on the analysis of the cargo handling strategy of the deep-water container terminal within the aspect of process efficiency. One of its elements consists in the automation of cargo handling process at lorry gate and railroad sidetrack. 

The SimLE Research Club and the Gdańsk Tech Biotechnology Students Club jointly carry out the Stardust project, i.e. the missions of stratospheric balloons. The aim of this latest project is to study microorganisms in the stratosphere that have not been described yet. These microorganisms can be used in industry in the future, e.g. in pharmaceuticals.

Gdańsk University of Technology was one of the participants in the project. The project manager on behalf of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology was prof. Dariusz Mikielewicz from the Institute of Energy, vice-rector for development and organization.

During their performance, the students showed how to get off the car - not a simple feat as it turns out.
