Pomeranian Researchers' Night 2024

Pomeranian Researchers’ Night at Gdynia Maritime University

 

Interesting workshops, lectures and demonstrations, as well as tours of the laboratories of the modern Centre for the Offshore Industry at Gdynia Maritime University, were all part of the second Pomeranian Researchers’ Night held at the University.

This year’s event, co-financed by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, took place on 27 September 2024 and was dedicated to the search for answers to the challenges our continent will face by 2030.

For this one special night of the year, researchers stepped away from their daily duties and ongoing projects. They opened their workplaces to a wide audience to show that science is interesting, exciting and, above all, accessible to everyone.

As part of Pomeranian Researchers’ Night, researchers from Gdynia Maritime University organised workshops, lectures and demonstrations in as many as three locations: at the University’s main building on Morska Street in Gdynia, at the Faculty of Navigation building on Gdynia's seafront, and at the modern Centre for the Offshore Industry in Gdańsk.

Participants in Pomeranian Researchers’ Night were able to take part in a wide range of themed activities, including:

  • The Role of the Ocean and Ocean Pollution in Climate Change
  • The Role of CO2 in Climate Change
  • Modern Technology for the Transhipment of Crude Oil and Gas in the Offshore Sector
  • Batychron
  • shows at the A. Ledóchowski Planetarium
  • visits to selected research laboratories at the Centre for the Offshore Industry
  • Green Transport Chains
  • Think Blue

As always, the shows at the A. Ledóchowski Planetarium proved the most popular. Everyone who visited our University on this unique night devoted to science received commemorative promotional gifts.

In the Pomeranian Voivodeship, the event is coordinated by the Medical University of Gdańsk. Its partners are the region’s higher education institutions – Gdynia Maritime University, the University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk University of Technology and the Polish Naval Academy – as well as the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and two science outreach centres: the Experyment Science Centre and Hevelianum.

Project NightMission is co-financed by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme.
