On 3 November 2025, the REFEST project was presented at Gdańsk University of Technology during a meeting hosted by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology. The exchange brought together Dr. Marek Chodnicki, Vice-Dean for Cooperation, and Prof. Vasilij Djackov from Klaipeda University, coordinator of the REFEST project.

As part of the visit, Prof. Djackov toured the university’s laboratories and shared key outcomes from several research initiatives, including REFEST. Discussions focused on marine engineering, ship design, hydrodynamics, and the growing role of digital methods in advancing maritime technologies.
The meeting provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen collaboration between the two institutions, identify common research interests, and explore concrete ideas for future joint activities. The exchange highlighted strong synergies in the fields of sustainable maritime innovation and engineering research, paving the way for new cooperation opportunities in the near future.
