Technical possibilities of the Internet, demographic si- tuation of developed countries, growing mobility of socie- ties, as well as results of increasing globalization are the main cause of university and national interest in interna- tionalization. Internationalization is the creation of educational and scientific space, where international cooperation is accom- panied by international education of both, domestic and foreign students. This in turn is a source of: • international experience, including inter-cultural com- petences; • improvement of education quality caused by competi- tion growth; • familiarization with global labour market; • closer relations of nations through personal internatio- nal experience of individuals. Development of internationalization demands though the relevant conditions regarding the development level of the state and of particular universities. In the first case these are: • equivalence of university studies in different countries (standards such as ECTS Label); • relevant level of foreign languages knowledge (language High positions in Polish rankings! knowledge standards); • accreditation of study programmes, as a proof of high rd 2nd most popular university 3 position in regard quality of teaching; in Poland among candidates to salaries of university • conditions of student, doctoral and staff mobility (i.e. according to the ranking of graduates in Poland the Ministry of Science and assistance in visa procedures, scholarships, living condi- Higher Education.

In this edition of ”Pismo PG” you can find many details regarding the mechanisms of internationalization deve- lopment as well as best practices examples. I hope, that this information will facilitate the future cooperation and will contribute to new ideas and further gradual growth. Number of international students between 2009 and 2012 Prof. Henryk Krawczyk Rector of Gdańsk University of Technology Over 100,000 graduates! GUT 2010 graduates employment statistics About 11.080 students graduated from the Technical University in Gdansk from 1904 until 1939. The total number of graduates of Gdańsk University of Technology since 1945 amounts to 89,000. Therefore, it is jointly over 100,000 graduates that left GUT with diplo- mas in their hands. INTERNATIONALIZATION PISMO PG 5 Pomorskie Region – located in the north of Poland, on the Pomorskie Region southern coast of the Baltic Sea – is one of the most econo- mically developed parts of Poland. It is very well connected – its international airport presently offers about 50 flight destinations, including Munich, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Warsaw. The region has two major ports, in Gdańsk and Gdynia, which are operational around the year. They boast of increasing number of transshipments. Considerable investments in road and rail connections to- wards the south of Europe as well as towards Germany, Russia and Belarus make Pomorskie even more accessible. There are two special economic zones providing offers de- signed for investors as well as modern office spaces in very attractive locations. In Pomorskie, both traditional and modern economic sec- tors are being developed. The first group includes: mariti- me, yacht building, chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, machine, furniture and rural sectors as well as foodstuff processing. The latter is mainly modern design and ICT, banking and financial services. Lufthansa Systems Poland, Intel Technology Polska, Thom- son Reuters are good examples of investors in fields men- tioned above. Investors can easily draw on a large pool of highly qualified staff – graduates of 29 higher education in- stitutions including Gdańsk University of Technology, Uni- versity of Gdańsk, Medical University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk University of Physical Education and Sport, Academy of Fine Arts, Gdynia Maritime University. 6 PISMO PG INTERNATIONALIZATION OUR REGION, OUR CITY, OUR UNIVERSITY Graduates of Gdańsk University of Technology constitute the scientific elite of the region, what is visible in its active role in European research area.

  • Gdańsk Palimpsest. on Obscuring and Retrieving Traces of Memory
    MAŁGORZATA DYMNICKA JAKUB SZCZEPAŃSKI Gdańsk University of Technology Gdańsk palimpsest. On obscuring and retrieving traces of memory Introduction Th e image of Gdańsk built on the myth of colourful relations with others, with strangers, where, side by side, like a family, there lived the Kashubians, the Germans, the Dutch, the Polish and the Jews is becoming more and more oft en a subject of a public discourse connected with collective memory, the latter be- ing a continuous story consisting in the selection of people and events, judging and linking them to contemporary narrative. Collective memory as a set of rep- resentations of the past shared by members of a given urban community has very important social functions: identity building, legitimization and confl ict causing (see: Halbwachs 1950; Olick 1999). In Gdańsk, depending on a social, economic and political situation, there appeared various narratives defi ning the collective memory and identity of the city. Representations of the past were accompanied by myth-creating constructions, the so-called “sacred stories”, representations of the reality whose main aim was to relieve the fear of the unknown and the in- comprehensible, to “domesticate” the reality. Mythologizing the story of the past constitutes an important part of collective identity. According to Jan Assmann (2008), the self-image created by a given community is a representation that lasts for as long as individuals and groups consider it to be their own. Th e article deals with the problems of collective identity resulting from over one thousand year history of the city on the Motława river and the role of histor- ical policy of the local authorities regarding the material cultural heritage of many nations and cultures.

  • The Best of GDA¡SK Poland
    ∫ The Best of GDA¡SK Poland Gdaƒsk Gdaƒsk Gdaƒsk is dotted with popular sites which are instantly identified with the city. These symbolic silhouettes certainly include the massive brick bulk of St Mary’s Basilica towering over the city, the rich Renaissance facades of the houses around the Long Market and the statue of Neptune reigning over what is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful market places in Europe. The symbols also certainly include the Medieval Crane which stoops, dozing, on the Mot∏awa bank. This thousand- year-old city on the Baltic coast has been the hometown of Hevelius, Fahrenheit, Schopenhauer, Grass, and Wa∏´sa. Above all, however, it ranks high on the list of top tourist attractions. Gdaƒsk stuns visitors with its multitude of listed sites of residential, sacred, military, and port functions, its heritage of one hundred centuries of fascinating culture and turbulent history, and its unusual air of a location where history and modern times merge in perfect harmony to create an unmatched cityscape. The Royal Route. Many a time in its history Gdaƒsk had the honour of hosting Polish monarchs. On 8 July 1552 King Sigismund Augustus arrived in the city with two thousand courtiers; on 1 August 1677 King Jan III Sobieski made a ceremonious entry into the city accompanied by his wife, UplandMarysieƒka, and son Jacob.Gate 1 2 Upland Gate (1) This richly sculpted 16th century stone gate to Gdaƒsk marks the beginning of the Royal Route.
