GreenerFlow: Towards greener traffic flow in the South Baltic Region (SBR): a data-driven approach to the congestion problem

We invite potential partners and parties interested in congestion research to join us at our workshop on August 10th-11th, 2023 in Gdansk, Poland. The meeting will be held in a historical main building of Gdansk University of Technology (see the location: https://goo.gl/maps/WVnJnYqGpAjxcfeM6), room 155.

ENHANCE invites - summer school on diversity and gender

Enhance.
The Technical University of Berlin invites students (bachelor, master or doctoral degrees) to the "ENHANCE Summer School on Gender and Diversity in Science, Technology and Society" which will take place in September. The deadline for registration is June 26th. The number of places is limited. 

In 2022, Gdańsk University of Technology joined the ENHANCE Alliance - an association of 10 European technical universities. Thanks to the presence at ENHANCE, students and employees of Gdańsk Tech have the opportunity to participate in winter and summer schools, seminars and other interesting events on various topics. The next such event - this time for students and PhD students, will be organized in September 2023. This time Technical University of Berlin - ENHANCE member, invites to summer school on diversity in science, technology and society.

About the project

The challenge. Congestion is a problem of many metropolitan areas. Increasing severity and duration of traffic jams lead to delays, increased fuel consumption, increased stress of road users, air quality degradation and increased risk of road incidents. The way to mitigate the impact is to efficiently manage traffic flow on roadways.

Winners of Redivivus Wind Turbine Blades

Winner's project
The research team from Gdańsk Tech from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture under the leadership of prof. dr hab. Eng. Magdalena Rucka wants to develop practical methods for recycling composite material obtained from end-of-life wind turbine blades.

As part of the Redivivus Wind Turbine Blades project, a student competition was announced for the development of conceptual designs for a bicycle shelter and any building structure.

On April 28, the Fahrenheit Courtyard the winning projects were awarded. We are proud of our students thanks to whom Gdansk Tech can become, to paraphrase prof. dr. hab. Eng. Krzysztof Wilde, rector of Gdansk Tech, more beautiful and modern as well as more ecological.

Dr. Vijayalakshmi Shankar is from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), India, and has been working as Senior Assistant Professor at VIT.

She came to Gdańsk University of Technology as a part of her NAWA Fellowship, which is one of the most prestigious fellowships by the Poland government. She is been working in the area of Environmental Biotechnology for more than 10 years. She had published more than 70 research papers in peer-reviewed journals. She had also closely worked with many Industries which resulted in different consultancy projects. She had published three patents based on her research projects.

OBRAZ KONSTRUKCJI - STRUCTURAL IMAGE

Logo of koło naukowe forever young.
The activities of the FOREVER YOUNG Scientific Community involve a brand-new idea OBRAZ KONSTRUKCJI - STRUCTURAL IMAGE.

In its framework, any interested person selects an engineering structure, preparing a presentation, the possible forms are:

- a series of pictures and a body text - structural description,

- a ready-made video presentation.

The presentation in any form, is published in the FOREVER YOUNG community websites:

Street furniture and concrete made of a wind turbine blade? A second life to used materials

Four smiling people.
Playground equipment, bicycle shelters, aggregate for construction - an interdepartmental research team from Gdansk University of Technology is looking for ways to recycle end-of-life wind turbine blades as energy-efficiently as possible. The researchers hope that the solutions developed will not only help to protect the environment, but also increase the availability of building materials.

Research team from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture, managed by Prof. Magdalena Rucka, is working on a wind turbine blade recycling system allowing to reuse them in construction industry and architecture.
