It’s set to be one of the most cutting-edge “green” research hubs in this part of Europe
On December 3rd, the Gdańsk University of Technology will open its Eco-Innovation Center. Tackling major global challenges such as flood and drought mitigation, resource and energy recovery, wind energy development, using waste materials for concrete production, and water pollution removal will be among the key research areas pursued at the Center.
In this state-of-the-art “green” research center, solutions will be developed to enhance safety and quality of life in an environmentally friendly way while improving the state of our natural surroundings.
PG leads multidisciplinary research in Poland per THE ISR ranking
Gdańsk University of Technology secured the top position in Poland in the inaugural edition of the THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings (THE ISR), developed by Times Higher Education (THE) in collaboration with Schmidt Science Fellows – a prestigious fellowship program supporting young researchers in interdisciplinary research.
THE ISR is the world’s first ranking that measures universities' contributions to the development of interdisciplinary research, which is key to solving contemporary global challenges. This year’s edition evaluated 749 universities from 92 countries. Among them, Gdańsk University of Technology ranked 184th globally and was the only Polish institution to place in the top 200. Other Polish universities in the ranking include AGH University of Science and Technology and Wrocław University of Science and Technology, which ranked in the 201–250 range.

Prof. Joanna Żukowska to Lead the Office of the Academic Ombudsman
On November 13, during a meeting of the Senate of Gdańsk University of Technology, a resolution was passed to appoint Dr. hab. inż. Joanna Żukowska, a professor at the university, as the Academic Ombudsman. Prof. Żukowska’s term will begin on January 1, 2025, and will last for four years.
The Academic Ombudsman at Gdańsk University of Technology is an independent body responsible for protecting the rights of members of the academic community and promoting academic values. The primary tasks of the Ombudsman include:
International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment
The United Nations General Assembly decided on November 6, 2001, that every year the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict would be observed. This initiative was led by UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme. On this day, it is worth highlighting the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Gdańsk University of Technology, which carries out numerous projects focused on ecosystem restoration and protection.
One example is the "Spitsbergen Challenge" project led by members of the "MIŚ - Microbiology in Environmental Engineering " Science Club under the supervision of PhD Eng. Katarzyna Jankowska, associate professor. This project focuses on studying the effects of climate change on Arctic ecosystems in Spitsbergen, where the team analyzes glacier melting and its impact on local fauna and flora. This initiative won an award at the "KoKoN" Student Science Club Competition and was also recognized at the FUT 2024 Student Environment Gala.
PhD Eng.Tomasz Kolerski is a co-author of an article in the prestigious magazine
In the icy frontiers of scientific research, understanding the movement and impact of glaciers is more vital than ever, especially as climate change reshapes our planet. At the forefront of this exploration is Dr. Tomasz Kolerski, a distinguished researcher from Gdańsk University of Technology, whose recent work with international colleagues sheds new light on glacier dynamics and ice behavior in cold regions. From pioneering mathematical models to studying real-world implications, Kolerski’s contributions promise advancements not only in environmental science but also in hydraulic engineering, where understanding ice processes can significantly bolster infrastructure safety.
Dr. habil. Eng. Tomasz Kolerski, an Associate Professor at Gdańsk University of Technology, is renowned for his expertise in ice phenomena, especially glacier dynamics. He has authored and co-authored numerous research publications in this specialized field. One notable paper, "Mathematical Modeling of Ice Dynamics in the Area of the Planned Siarzewo Reservoir," published in 2024, delves into the anticipated effects of wind on ice dynamics in the Vistula River’s future Siarzewo Reservoir.
