AGH UST as Academic Partner in the US-Poland Science and Technology Symposium

Between June 14 and 17, 2022, the representatives of our university – as the Academic Partner – have participated in the US-Poland Science and Technology Symposium at Stanford University. The objective of the event was to “build bridges” between Poland and the United States, understood as the exchange of knowledge and networking in areas crucial to the Polish-American cooperation. The theme of this year’s edition was 'AI – An Accelerator Towards a More Resilient World'.

The AGH UST was proudly represented by Professor Rafał Dańko, Vice-Rector for Student Affairs, participant in the main panel, and Joanna Jaworek-Korjakowska, Dr hab., deputy head of the Department of Automatic Control and Robotics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering, who chaired the discussion panel titled AI in Monetary Systems, Fintech and Blockchain and participated in the AI in Transportation, Energy and Infrastructure panel. The chairperson of the conference was Professor Piotr Moncarz, a Polish-American engineer, Consulting Professor at Stanford University, who specialises in civil and materials engineering, new technology implementations, and construction catastrophe investigations.

During their stay, in addition to scientific discussions, our representatives have also established cooperation with the US-Polish Trade Council (USPTC), which is an association that works to strengthen cooperation between Poland and the United States in terms of economic exchange, research collaboration, and technological development. The association also engages in activities related to education and promotion.
