About the fair

INTARG, or the International Invention and Innovation Show, is an event where the latest technological achievements, innovative projects, and inventions from various fields are presented on both a national and international scale. The goal of the fair is to promote innovation, establish business connections, and support the transfer of technology between science and industry. The fair includes annual activities such as exhibitions, competitions, conferences, seminars, and B2B meetings.

Over the past hundred years KORAB has undergone many changes, both in the scope of its activities and in the conditions under which its members work. Today, students are able to carry out projects of unlimited variety, enjoying opportunities that previous generations could only dream of. Taking advantage of these conditions, KORAB students have over the years demonstrated extraordinary commitment and creativity, realising ambitious projects such as pedal boats, solar hydrofoils, submersibles and remote-controlled yachts.

Each of the meetings, despite a common formula, had its own unique course. This was due to the different visions of the individual companies, which tried to interest the participants in various ways. The aim of these events was to present students and graduates of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology with career prospects in the industry and the opportunities that await them.

Once again, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has awarded three scholarships to the top students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology at Gdańsk University of Technology for the academic year 2023/2024. This year, three persons won the competition (in alphabetical order):

Studying is not only about learning, but also about developing your passions and interests. KSTO Korab students combine their studies with their passion for water sports - building watercraft and then competing with them in international regattas. The team of 15 students worked hard for four days, right from their arrival on Wednesday, to ensure that all the watercraft were in maximum working order. This was the culmination of months of intensive preparation and the efforts of the entire team.

Meeting programme

The meeting will take place on 23 May 2024 from 16:00 - 18:00 in Auditorium 8, Nanotechnology Centre B, Building 18. Lectures will be given in English.

First part: Fundamentals of the dredging process

The first part of the lecture, to be given by Dennis Hotopp, will focus on:

The basics of the dredging process, its components and techniques.
The principles of dredging.
Second part: Modernisation of the Świnoujście-Szczecin fairway.

The competition, organised by the KORAB Polish Shipbuilders' Society, is held under the auspices of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and has a long tradition dating back to 1997. RINA is an internationally recognised organisation of shipbuilding professionals.

Presentation of the final works

During the final, three master's theses were presented, which were selected from among all the entries by a jury composed of representatives from industry and academia: Andrzej Buczkowski, Krzysztof Gockowski and Przemysław Krata.

At the same time as the 8th edition of the TargOiOwisko job fair was underway at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Shipbuilding, at the Damen Engineering Gdańsk office our students from the Ship Technology Students' Circle 'Korab' were taking part in a workshop, which was also attended by Norwegian students from the SIGMA Association.
