University Delegation Travels to Orlando – Study Visit

The Rector of Bialystok University of Technology and two academic teachers from our University will travel to Orlando, Florida, for a study visit. The Department of Economic Promotion and International Cooperation of the Marshal’s Office of the Podlaskie Voivodeship, together with our researchers, invited representatives of key regional industries identified as Smart Specialisations of the Podlaskie Voivodeship.

– A joint trip of researchers and entrepreneurs from the region strengthens our joint efforts to support the development of the Podlaskie region, tightens cooperation and creates opportunities for new ideas – emphasises Assoc. Prof. Marta Kosior-Kazberuk, DSc, PhD, Eng., Rector of Bialystok University of Technology. – All of this is made possible through direct exposure to global construction technologies.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage both with researchers from American universities (Orlando is home to the University of Central Florida – one of the largest universities in the USA, with a strong focus on engineering, computer science, space technologies and industrial research) and with business representatives during the International Builder’s Show and The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. The trade fairs held in Orlando target specialists, decision-makers and companies operating in the broadly understood construction industry.
