Between 16-24th of Nov. 2021, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Gdańsk Tech, hosts a group of teachers and students from Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.

During the field lab students will get familiar with small retency solutions in Gdańsk and create solutions for Gdańsk Wrzeszcz to improve increase the flood resistance of this district.

The project is realized within two programmes:

1) Minor Course Creating Resilient Cities, Exchange programme www.rotterdamuas.com/programmes/exchange/creating-resilient-cities/
2) SPRIM for Gdańsk developed by Gdańsk tech teachers www.facebook.com/SPRIM-dla-Gda%C5%84ska-109513404243317
