Aktualności - Educational program “Teachers to Teachers” The conference was attended by school teachers from the Silesian Voivodeship scientists and authorities of the Silesian University of Technology The meeting was devoted to climate and environment issues It was also an opportunity to establish a wider cooperation between the University and secondary school teachers  We want to help teachers deepen their knowledge and become more involved in the life of secondary schools They are the ones who are preparing young people which I hope will contribute to our University I will add that the Silesian University of Technology already runs two academic secondary schools which also gives us a better understanding of the needs of these schools we would like to take formal patronage and care of selected classes in secondary schools We would conduct classes there and invite young people to the University to use our infrastructure and integrate with students – said the Rector of the Silesian University of Technology - The aim of this program is also to better prepare students to continue their education at higher levels - added Professor Beata Orlińska director of the College of Studies of the Silesian University of Technology the cooperation of scientists from the Silesian University of Technology with secondary school teachers can be used for both parties - We can also draw on the experience of secondary school teachers because they know the needs of students best and know how to interest them in their education at the University It must be remembered that this generation is changing very dynamically – said the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and Education The Gliwice municipality is very much involved in cooperation aimed at improving the competences of teachers and modifying teaching methods to better meet the expectations of young people Head of the Education Department of the Gliwice City Hall emphasized the role of cooperation between the city and the university also in the area of improving the competences and qualifications of the staff She also drew attention to the city's efforts to improve the quality of education The Academy “Teachers to Teachers” has started the presentation of the University’s educational offer - The meeting was an opportunity to present education and research within the priority research areas that are conducted at the Silesian University of Technology We also showed how the University educates in the field of environmental protection – emphasized the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and Education Introductory lecture: "Competences of the future - how to educate the generation iGen" was delivered by Dr Eng then there was a discussion panel entitled "Project-oriented education – implementation of PBL projects at the Silesian University of Technology" which was led by the University's spokesperson Iwona Flanczewska-Rogalska The conference was attended by dozens of representatives of secondary schools - We are pleased that the Silesian University of Technology has come up with such an initiative both secondary school teachers and employees of the University must make sure that as many young people as possible want to study over 80 percent of secondary school graduates took up studies but you have to remember that studying is an added value and you can’t learn everything in the courses Studies are also about shaping the personality of a young person meeting with both peers and university employees and this is very important - said Dr Eng Silesian University of Technology signed an agreement with the Regional Teacher Training Centre "PTO" in the field of improving professional qualifications of teachers of vocational subjects but they finished their studies many years ago That is why we want them to be able to improve their qualifications in the field of the profession they teach during various types of training or postgraduate studies – said Dr Jerzy Grad Director of the Regional Teacher Training Centre "WOM" in Katowice The “Teachers to Teachers” Academy was completed by workshops during which the teaching mode based on the Project based Learning (PBL) method was presented at the university methods and research techniques used to transfer knowledge and acquire competences and qualifications The Academy is not the first project in which the Silesian University of Technology cooperates with schools For the second time at the Silesian University of Technology the final of THE SILESIAN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY PROJECT will take place Last year our University established cooperation with 18 secondary schools from Gliwice +48 32 237 10 00 Excellence Initiative -

The process involves a complex cycle of production whereby sheets of flexible resin are extracted from trees of the genus Elaeagia which grows in mountainous regions of western South America This is done without harming the tree during the process The trek to collect the resin is always done on foot and typically takes up to 5 hours to reach the destination point Resin gatherers will then set up campsites in the wilderness for 8 to 15 days as they comb through patches of trees for viable harvest the resin gatherers will collect between 6-9 kilos of Mopa Mopa which will then be sold to varnish masters at a central location closer to town Mopa Mopa is sacred because of the beauty it makes possible but also because of the effort involved in sourcing it and the rarity of it - the harvest only happens twice a year between May and November Because the artistry of Mopa Mopa is so intricate and time-consuming it cannot be automated for mass production the people involved are crucial in the making of these limited-edition bottles the harvesting of Mopa Mopa and the ancestral knowledge of the Pasto varnish application process is under threat of being lost due to deforestation and agricultural encroachment It is because of the passion and commitment of these local people that this artform has been kept alive Starting at 3,600 – 4,800 EUR the limited-edition bottles are available for sale on Dictador's online store.  Photo - https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1927172/Dictador_Mopa_Mopa.jpg Do not sell or share my personal information: The highest ranked player in attendance is Poland’s Daniel Maciol reaching the final in St Johann as well a semi-final spot later in the year in Treviso “I feel excited about the first Euro Tour this year Winning the Euro Tour is one of my goals for 2024 and I believe it can happen in Tallinn Last year was my best Euro Tour season so far I reached the podium twice and finished high in the ranking I think that over the years my break has improved and that has helped a lot to my better results With the feeling that 2024 could well be his break-out year Maciol has a lot of big tournaments to look forward to starting in Tallinn: “My next starts after the Euro Tour in February and March are the Alfa Las Vegas Open the 10-ball World Championships in Las Vegas and the Polish 10-ball in Kielce for sure We’ll see how the next part of the year will look like “My decision to become a professional pool player was made at the end of my studies I always wanted pool to be my future and I am glad that it is possible,” he concluded The event gets underway at 9.00 on Thursday 15th February and plays down to the final which takes place at 17.00 local time on Saturday 17th Tables 1 & 2 will be streamed throughout on YouTube who are back handling the production for 2024 Table 2 will be available throughout on the EPBF platform All other tables can be viewed on the Kozoom.com website where there are a variety of subscription options The Predator Women’s Tallinn Open starts at 9.00 on Saturday 17th February and concludes with the final at 17.00 on the Sunday and there is a very strong field in contention with 55 starters – the largest women’s field in some time The Tallinn events are 9-ball and players compete in a double-elimination format playing down to the single elimination final stages until the finish All matches are races to 9 racks with alternate break Results, live scoring, and draw are available at www.epbf.com Go to discussion... © AZBilliards.com EPPA inc. 1998-2025 All Rights Reserved.

function but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style Cosmotech makes components for medical and orthopaedic equipment from carbon laminate and polymers EU funding enabled the company to begin production of ultralight folding wheelchairs providing a high level of comfort for people with disabilities We had long had the idea of producing wheelchairs which would be light and easy to use for active people the first wheelchair of this kind was produced using material made from carbon fibre It is certainly an example of world-class innovation among other things because it can be folded up so that it is no bigger than its wheels For several months we experimented with different materials and a putty knife used in shipbuilding opened up new possibilities for us we obtained funding from the Śląskie Entrepreneurship Centre We are currently producing carbon fibre wheelchairs and printed models thanks to the 3D printer designed for that purpose Cosmotech’s analysis pointed to a big demand for strong The firm then applied advanced engineering solutions to create an attractive design within which individual elements such as the seat can be personalised based on a 3D body scan of the user The wheelchair is among the lightest on the market with the frame weighing around 3 kg (compared with 6-9 kg for aluminium models and 10-15 kg for steel versions) and can be folded up to fit into a portable case The project created a full-time job for a designer and builder and a part-time job for an employee responsible for preparation of the project and configuration of the wheelchairs Many people see wheelchairs as a symbol of disability and limited opportunity and focus on what their users cannot do rather This view tends to be reinforced by their drab colours which are often redolent of hospital interiors Cosmotech aims to change how disability is perceived and experienced both by society and the disabled themselves by developing – together with its customers who can test different models at the company’s headquarters – attractive brightly coloured wheelchairs which reflect the personalities of their users The firm takes the focus away from disability by promoting wheelchairs as a symbol of personal autonomy stressing their role in enabling users to achieve things that would otherwise be impossible This applies to the company’s approach to participation in sports by physically active wheelchair users as well Cosmotech’s one-of-a-kind carbon fibre tandem wheelchair made its marathon debut on the streets of the Śląskie region in the summer of 2019 Use of 3D printing allows Cosmotech to produce wheelchairs suitable for various activities quickly – in about seven days – and at a relatively low price It provides the opportunity to adapt existing prototypes to the needs of each customer easily and cheaply one of the main materials in the wheelchairs is a plastic blend based on polylactic acid a polymer derived from plant-based and eco-friendly sources such as beetroot or cornmeal Components printed from this blend are assembled together with carbon fibre structural parts to form a modern-looking lightweight and highly customisable wheelchair Cosmotech is looking to increase its production capacity to make more wheelchairs at lower prices and to enhance the environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness of its processes by reusing leftover printed material Joint research is planned with the biomedical engineering faculty of the Silesian University of Technology Total investment for the project “Setting up production of folding wheelchairs” is EUR 123 000 (PLN 536 034) with the EU’s European Regional Development Fund contributing EUR 45 000 (PLN 196 110) through the “Śląskie Voivodeship” Operational Programme for the 2014-2020 programming period The investment falls under the priority “Research and innovation” Zarząd Województwa Śląskiego obsługiwany przez Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Śląskiego Here we are to
