The Gdansk University of Technology is a large community – almost one thousand two hundred academic teachers, more than twenty‐one thousand students, around one thousand four hundred engineering, technical and administrative staff, and over seventeen hundred retired employees with whom the University remains in touch. Our community is therefore vibrant with life. The Gdansk University of Technology enjoys a prominent position as a modern place of learning. It is highly regarded as an opinion‐forming centre and as the initiator, and reliable executor, of a wide range of undertakings as well as innovative tasks. Our success is measured by the great number of achievements in research, teaching and implementations. The Chemical Faculty plays a leading role in the life of the University. Large numbers of talented, creative, well‐educated and independently‐minded people receive their technical education here. They later go on to work in research or industry. The Faculty's achievements are numerous. The Chemical Faculty combines youth and experience. It is second in the ministerial ranking of Chemical Science faculties. It is here that we can fulfil our dreams connected with twentyfirst‐century technology.

The implementation of new technologies and the modernisation of existing ones require relevant research to be carried out in pure and applied science. In both these fields, the Chemical Faculty has a very great deal to offer, as this brochure and our website make clear. The research performed by our academic staff represents an intelligent combination of advanced studies in pure science and the implementation of their results in technological practice. At present, we are involved in numerous projects commissioned by industrial clients. We design and implement new, environmentally friendly technologies employing, for example, closed cycles for technological media or waste‐free technologies. Today, the Chemical Faculty is one of the largest faculties at the Gdansk University of Technology. It is also among the largest chemical faculties in Poland and boasts the largest number of students. Since 1945, 6844 students have graduated from the Faculty, 4877 with an MEng and 1967 with a BEng degree.
