The 23rd Gdynia Explory Week 2023 came to an end with a closing gala. HM The Rector of Gdynia Maritime University awarded a special award to the creators of the "Rescue Capsule Slim."

The winners, who will be awarded a Rector's Scholarship, are pupils of the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in Tarnów,  Dawid Świątek, Jakub Kuczek and Bartosz Smoleń. The award-winning project is an unmanned, remotely controlled life-saving capsule for individuals who find themselves in a life-threatening situation during water sports.

A symbolic check was presented to the young inventors by the Deputy Rector for Science, Professor Dariusz Barbucha,

I am very impressed with all the projects presented during this year's Explory competition. At Gdynia Maritime University, we are on the lookout for interesting, original, and innovative projects that match our University's field of activity, and at the same time have the potential for implementation, hence the reason this project won the award - commented Professor Barbuch.

Professor Damian Bisewski of the Department of Maritime Electronics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering represented the University on the competition panel.

Explory is the country's largest research and development programme for young talents. The competition is an opportunity to show the world their innovative ideas. During Gdynia Explory Week, young people from all over Poland were given the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the education on offer at Gdynia Maritime University.
