One of the key challenges of modern energy is efficient energy storage. In an era of growing demand for renewable energy sources and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, searching for innovative solutions for the collection and use of thermal energy is becoming a priority for scientists around the world. A researcher from the Faculty of Chemistry at Gdańsk University of Technology is conducting research that can significantly contribute to the advancement of this field.

Krzysztof Kamil Bojarski, PhD from the Department of Physical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry of Gdańsk University of Technology, and a recipient of the Bekker Scholarship awarded by the National Agency for Academic Exchange, will start a research project at the University of Cambridge. He will collaborate with the team of Professor David Wales, who is considered a leader in the field of computational chemistry.

The National Science Centre announced the results of the 8th edition of the MINIATURA competition, addressed to young scientists who have not yet had the opportunity to independently manage a research project. Among the winners there are eleven projects from Gdańsk University of Technology, which received a total funding of over PLN 470,000.

We are proud to announce that the monograph Energy and Environmental Protection, authored by employees of the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage of the Faculty of Chemistry, edited by Prof. Ewa Klugmann-Radziemska, published by PWN Scientific Publishing House, received an award in the prestigious ‘Książka w TEmacie’ competition.

This exceptional distinction emphasizes the quality and importance of PWN publications, which have been inspiring both students and enthusiasts of various fields of knowledge for years.
