International cooperation

  • Department of Mechanics and Building Structures

    The cooperation in the Department of Mechanics and Building Structures is based on:

    • Enhancing the existing contacts between employees of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences and the National University of Water and Engineering, Institute of Building and Archiectura, Rivne Ukraine in accordance with the concluded agreement,
    • Co-organization and participation in the international scientific conference in Rown as well as in scientific seminars
    • The research staff conducted research in cooperation with employees of other research units, COST campaign
    • Annual participation in the Theoretical Mechanics Competition organized by the Belarusian State University of Transport (Gomel, Belarus)
  • Department of Geotechnics

    The Department cooperated with leading research centers in Europe, the USA and Canada, including Others. with: Cardiff University, Illinois University, McGill University in Montreal, Malaysia Sarawak University, Bogazici University, Delft University of Technology, Ghent University, Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya, Polythecnic Universtity of Marche in Ancona, Universidad de Cantabria in Santander, Kalmar University, Darmstadt University of Technology, Swedish Geotechnical Institute and ISMES.

    As part of the GeoEnvNet network topic implemented at the Department, coordinated by Cardiff University, in 2002 the Research Center of Geoenvironmental Engineering was established, which obtained the status of a National Center of Excellence under the European Geoenvironmental Research Institute, established by a consortium agreement of 12 partners: Cardiff University, Darmstadt University of Technology, Polythecnic Universtity of Marche in Ancona, Universidad de Cantabria in Santander, Ghent University, IFA Tulln, Kalmar University and Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, Technical University of Torino, GeoDelft, ENPC-CERMES, REAT, SGGW. Currently, close cooperation with the Polythecnic Universtity of Marche in Ancona, Universidad de Cantabria in Santander, Darmstadt University of Technology concerns research consultations for employees and doctoral students and student exchange under the Erasmus program.

    On the initiative of the Department, a Memorandum of understanding on scientific and educational cooperation between Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Poland and LN Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Astana, Kazakhstan was signed. Currently, under the signed contract, doctoral student research consultations and student exchange are carried out.

    Collaboration with Prof. Masaharu FUKUE from Tokai University (Shizuoka, Japan) also representing the Japanese Geotechnical Association for Housing Disaster Prevention (Shizuoka, Japan) on the topic “Soft soil engineering using artificial diagenesis”. In the period 2007-2019, Prof. Masaharu FUKUE delivered seven papers, including the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, and published two joint articles in journals from IF and 5 articles in the materials of international conferences.

  • Department of Hydrotechnics, Technology and Works Organization

    Employees of the Department of Hydrotechnics, Technology and Works Organization have participated in numerous internships abroad, including Others. at Slovenian National Building, Civil Engineering Institute in Ljubljana and Universita degli Studi di Trento. In addition, they participated in many foreign projects, including Others. in COST Action TU1202: Impact of climate change on engineered slopes for infrastructure. In the scientific field, the Department’s employees actively cooperate with the Kiev National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the National University of Water and Natural Resource Management, Rivne, Ukraine.

  • Department of Revitalization and Architecture

    International cooperation at the Department of Revitalization and Architecture includes research exchange of researchers, maintaining contacts with foreign research units and participation in international conferences and scientific seminars.

    In recent years, the staff has conducted scientific cooperation with domestic and foreign units as well as with the social and economic environment. This cooperation was related to the implementation of joint research topics in the field of assessing the degree of soil contamination in urban and post-industrial areas and in the area of communication routes. Cooperation was established with research centers in Valencia, Brno, Artvin, Durham, Nottingham and Melbourne. The department’s cooperation with foreign centers is expressed, inter alia, in cooperation on the basis of bilateral agreements, international research projects, COST actions, as well as bilateral exchange of teaching staff and students.

    As part of international cooperation, the staff of the department also completed short-term teaching and training internships (University of Valencia, Agricultural University of Tirana, Bar Ilan University, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Mendel University in Brno, Artvin Coruh University, IFA-Tulln, University of Cagliari), short-term experience exchange visits (University of Illinois at Chicago) and long-term research internships (Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Durham University, Univeristy of Nottingham, The University of Melbourne).

    Currently, the department cooperates with scientists from Hanoi University of Mining and Geology on projects 09 / 18ITT-BGDDT and 5136 / QEBGDDT “Research on practical implication of AI solutions for sustainable land use, adapting climate change scenarios allowing prevention of natural disasters in northern Vietnam mountainous region”. Research projects carried out jointly are related to the analysis of the impact of climate change on the functioning of infrastructure and sustainable management of urban areas. The department’s employees are also involved in the implementation of the European COST Action CA18135-FIRElinks program, bringing together scientists from 37 European countries, which aims to create a fire protection system for natural areas. Last year, the staff of the department also collaborated on the MuMoLaDe (Multiscale Modeling of Landslides and Debris Flows) project, financed under the EC 7th Framework Program, Marie Curie ITN (Initial Training Networks). The aim of the project was to create a multidisciplinary system for the analysis of landslide mechanisms, using advanced computer techniques and physical models. The project brought together researchers, scientists and partners from 21 countries of the European Union.
