Highest Achieving GMU Students in Physics Visit Czechia
As part of a scientific education programme promoting the exact sciences, GMU students took part in a trip to Czechia, where they visited Charles University, the Johannes Kepler Museum, and the Temelín nuclear power plant.
From 20 to 24 October, the fourth joint trip involving students from our University and pupils from the 2nd General Secondary School in Gdynia as part of a scientific education programme promoting the exact sciences, especially physics.
The destination of the first joint trip was the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Świerk; the second, ETH Zurich – the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN, in Switzerland; the third, the EPCI – the site of the first laboratory and the Radium Institute of the Sorbonne in Paris; and the fourth, Charles University, the Johannes Kepler Museum, the Temelín nuclear power plant, and a revitalised complex of industrial architecture in the Czech Republic.
Those given a place on the trip were students with the highest grades in physics from all faculties at GMU. The initiative is organised based on an agreement between the Department of Physics at the Faculty of Marine Engineering and the Gdynia School.
The highest graded students were:
- Michał Breza – Faculty of Marine Engineering
- Maksymilian Okrój – Faculty of Navigation
- Maciej Wieczorek – Faculty of Electrical Engineering
- Oliwia Sośnicka – Faculty of Management and Quality Science
Places on the trip were funded by the Dean of each student’s faculty: Professor Andrzej Miszczak, Dr Tomasz Neumann, Dr Piotr Jankowski, and Dr Marzena Popek.
The planning, organisation, and supervision of the trip were conducted by Jolanta Kamińska, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics, and Renata Stolarczyk, a teacher at the 2nd General Secondary School in Gdynia.
