February 9. International winter cycling day. Stay safe on the road

Bicycle on a road
International Winter Bike To Work Day, which is celebrated on the second Friday in February and takes place on February 9 this year, is a globally celebrated holiday for commuting on bicycles. The day has been set aside to encourage citizens from around the world to consider biking to work as opposed to the common alternative of driving.

Supporters of two wheels repeat: there is no bad weather for cycling - there are only poorly dressed cyclists. In winter, it is important that we are visible on the road, especially when leaving for work early in the morning and returning home after dusk. Not only warm clothing is necessary for the comfort of traveling on a two-wheeler, but also clothing that has reflective elements and will be visible to other road users.

Students from Gdansk Tech are among the best in Poland

Polish Government Label on a blue background
Students from Gdansk Tech Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering were awarded in a competition in the field of geodesy and cartography for the best engineering and master's degree theses performed as part of full-time and part-time studies in all types of universities in Poland. Monika Bejrowska and Agata Adamczyk took second and third place in their categories.

The organizer of the competition was the Association of Polish Surveyors and the Chief Surveyor of the Country. Both entities responsible for all organizational matters related to the conduct of the Competition had no doubts that the students from Gdansk Tech Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering deserved to call them top of the top. In the category of master's degree theses 2022/2023, second place was taken by Ms.

Outstanding project of the scientists from Gdansk Tech. Budget 2.5 million €

BE LIGHT BRAND LABEL
BE-LIGHT is a new European WORLD-CLASS project of scientists from the Gdansk University of Technology in the development of medical diagnostic methods using machine learning and photonics. The project received a high score in the HORIZON–MSCA–2022–DN competition, which emphasized the importance of interdisciplinarity and well-defined research tasks in the field of AI.

The international consortium implementing the project consists of seven academic institutions, including two Polish universities and three hospitals, with complementary expertise in photonics, microscopy, artificial intelligence and clinical trials: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain (Coordinator) Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation, Germany Sorbonne Université, France Georg August University Göttingen, Germany Nicolaus Copernicus University in To

University alliance. Goal: protection of nature and urbanized areas

Train
This is how we should describe the cooperation between the Consortium of the Gdansk University of Technology and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. This unique city-to-city(Gdansk & Wroclaw)research project with the acronym InfraNoise is carried out under the title " A system for precise monitoring of the impact of railway traffic on the environment, including information on traffic, technical and environmental data. The competition was launched as part of the BRIK II cooperation. It involves supporting scientific research and development work in the area of ​​railway infrastructure: "Research and Development in Railway Infrastructure". The whole thing is supervised by the National Center for Research and Development (NCBR) and PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. (PKP PLK S.A.).

The InfraNoise project concerns an extremely important problem related to the protection of the environment, as well as urban areas occurring in the immediate vicinity of the railway infrastructure, noise and vibration. As part of this project, the consortium is developing an innovative measurement and analytical system for monitoring a number of traffic, technical and environmental parameters important from the point of view of railway infrastructure management.

Nobel Prize, Earl and Professor

Street name
What do these three titles have in common, and who is behind them? All three of them are associated with the town of Kórnik in Greater Poland, located near Poznań City. Wisława Szymborska, a Polish poet, great essayist, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, was born there. It was also there that Władysław Zamoyski, count of the Jelita coat of arms, who was awarded the Grand Ribbon of the Order of Polonia Restituta by the President of the Republic of Poland, Ignacy Mościcki, died there. And the professor Stanisław Błaszkowiak from the Gdansk University of Technology, a lecturer at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Gdansk University of Technology and a distinguished figure for Polish science. Now they named a street after him in Kórnik Town.

Who was Stanisław Błaszkowiak?

Gdansk University of Technology on the Roof of the World

Meeting
The Roof of the World or Top of the World is a metaphoric epiteth or phrase used to describe the highest region in the world, also known as High Asia. On January 8-12 this year the inaugural meeting of the consortium implementing the international project entitled "Sustainability and Quality Assurance for Academic Governance and Redesign Engineering Studies" with the acronym SQUARES.

The SQUARES project aims to develop an integrated curriculum and teaching materials in the areas of among others: energy-efficient construction and sustainable transport management. Moreover, the intention is to conduct an audit of the management system at selected foreign universities. An integral element of the project will be the introduction of modern education management methods at partner universities in Asia.

Gdansk and Pardubice City continue their excellent cooperation

group of people
As part of the long-standing cooperation between the Department of Transport Engineering of the Gdansk University of Technology and the Department of Communication Structures of the University of Pardubice, at the end of 2023 our university was visited by Drs. Vladislav Borecký and Pavel Lopour from the Czech Republic. Earlier, the Gdańsk University of Technology was visited by Petr Vnenk, PhD, Eng., and in April 2023, Jacek Szmagliński, PhD, Eng., went to the Czech Republic.

Vladislav Borecký and Pavel Lopour are involved in the diagnostics of road and railway surfaces in their scientific work.
