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.

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.
