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.

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.

Webinar IAHR Water Monograph on Practical Flooding Risk Assesment for Development Projects

This Water Monograph is written in response to the IAHR call for “science-informed action!” after unprecedented flood flow peaks worldwide in July 2021. It is therefore directed to the practising hydraulic engineer, who bridges the interface between writing reports and active management of post-disaster reconstruction.

International School of Hydraulics XLII

Event has very long tradition and it was initiated in 1981 and took place without interruption each year. Throughout all that long 25 years period it has been successfully organized by the Institute of Hydro-Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The School has been carried out under the auspices of the Committee for Water Resources Management of the Polish Academy of Sciences and International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research.

Starting from the 26th organization of International Events was taken over by the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences.

The APRIORA project

gRUPA LUDZI NA SCHODACH
A research team from Gdańsk University of Technology is participating in the international project “APRIORA,” which aims to develop a risk assessment (RA) model for aquatic environments impacted by micropollutant emissions in the Baltic Sea Region.

From September 30 to October 2, Gdańsk University of Technology hosted a meeting of the consortium and associated partners involved in the “APRIORA” project. This initiative is closely aligned with the revised EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD), a critical component of Europe’s action plan for reducing pollution and promoting a circular economy.

GdanskTech is the best Polish technical university in THE WUR 2025 Ranking

WUR
Gdańsk University of Technology maintained its position in the prestigious Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2025 (THE WUR). This year's edition classified 2,092 universities from all over the world, 188 institutions more compared to the previous year.

In this year's edition of the PG ranking, it was placed in the 1001-1200 range. This position places it jointly 5th in Poland. She obtained a total of 30.7-34.4 points (in the last edition 28.3-32.6). GdanskTech and the AGH University of Science and Technology are the highest-ranked Polish technical universities in THE WUR 2025 ranking.

Gdansk Tech scientists among the TOP 2% of the most influential people in science in the world

TOP 2 %
62 scientists from the Gdańsk University of Technology are again included in the World's TOP 2% Scientists list, which includes researchers whose publications are most often cited by other authors in the world. The ranking is prepared annually by Stanford University in cooperation with Elsevier.

The World's TOP 2% Scientists list is based on the scientific achievements of researchers, and the evaluation criteria include: the number of citations, the Hirsch index, or the position and role of a given researcher on the list of authors of publications. The ranking consists of two lists: the first one assesses the scientific achievements taking into account the entire career of a given researcher, the second one concerns the last calendar year.
