Strengthening Polish-Lithuanian Cooperation by Geodesists from Gdańsk University of Technology

wilno
Nearly four months ago, we reported on the journey of three young researchers from the Department of Geodesy at Gdańsk University of Technology to Lithuania with the aim of establishing research cooperation with the academic staff of the Department of Geodesy and Cadastre at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.

At that time, Ph.D. Eng. Paweł Burdziakowski, Ph.D. Eng. Paweł Tysiąc, and Ph.D. Eng. Marek Hubert Zienkiewicz traveled to the capital of the Republic of Lithuania, where, along with the Lithuanian research team under the leadership of Professor Jūratė Sužiedelytė-Visockienė, they conducted joint photogrammetric and remote sensing measurements of the Upper Castle and its mountain slope.

Workshops within the GreenerFlow project

Smiling people.
On August 10-11, 2023, a workshop was held at Gdansk University of Technology as part of the GreenerFlow project. The workshop was attended by 15 participants from seven organizations: Gdansk University of Technology (organizer), RISE AB (Research Institutes of Sweden), Warsaw University of Technology, Lund University, VTI (Sweden), Municipality of Gdansk (Gdansk Roads and Greenery Authority) and Municipality of Malmo.

During the workshop, we discussed the current challenges related to the congestion problem and how these can be addressed within future research and projects. The discussion involved both the methodological issues (including data sources, pilot project ideas, potential outputs and contributions), estimated budget, project consortium building, and novelty of project element. The arrangements coming from the workshop were included in the future project assumptions, methodology and the workplan.

Gdańsk University of Technology for the fourth time in the Shanghai ranking

The Academic Ranking of World Universities
For the fourth time, Gdańsk University of Technology was classified in the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), i.e. the so-called Shanghai ranking, which is considered the most prestigious ranking of universities in the world. Only nine Polish universities were included in the ranking.

The ranking of the best universities in the world, called the Shanghai List, has been prepared by the Jiao Tong University in Shanghai since 2003. The exact place in the ranking is known only for the top 100 universities in the world. The remaining places are listed only approximately - universities appear in groups of 100 institutions.

The ranking classifies universities from around the world according to several indicators:

Smart rainwater quality monitoring system — to be tested in Sopot

Laboratory.
An online monitoring system for detection of contamination in rainwater drainage systems and rainwater retention tanks, will be jointly developed by researchers from Gdańsk, Kraków and Łódź. The system, equipped with advanced biosensors and artificial intelligence, is to support effective water management in the city in times of climate change. It is to be the first such advanced system in Poland and it will be tested in Sopot.

A consortium consisting of an interfaculty team of scientists from Gdańsk University of Technology, researchers from AGH University of Science and Technology and Łódź University of Technology and PM Ecology will develop, manufacture and implement the modular MoReLogg system for monitoring pollution of anthropogenic origin, i.e. caused by human activity.
