Project: “International Interdisciplinary Summer School – Energy-efficient construction, users and environment friendly_2”

Duration: October 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026 (10 months)

Implementing entity: Bialystok University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences

Total project budget: PLN 337.419,71

The project aims to improve the quality of education and develop the internationalization of the Bialystok University of Technology through the implementation of an Intensive International Education Program (in the form of International Interdisciplinary Summer School) in the field of energy-efficient construction.

Target group

The project envisages the participation of a group of direct recipients (22 foreign students and 2 BUT students), as well as a group of indirect recipients: BUT staff and foreign staff involved in the creation and implementation of the International Interdisciplinary Summer School.

The International Interdisciplinary Summer School is dedicated to first- and second-cycle students of environmental engineering, construction, architecture, energy or related fields. The course is aimed at students from all over the world (including BUT students) who are interested in the design of low-energy and environmentally friendly buildings.

The classes will be conducted in five thematic blocks:

1. Modern architecture;
2. Modern materials in construction;
3. Energy-efficient heating and ventilation systems, and thermal comfort of the user;
4. Application of ecological sources of heat and electricity;
5. Energy-efficient lighting of the building.

The project will demonstrate the importance of proper inter-professional, inter-industry cooperation on the way to creating an environmentally friendly house, where users can enjoy thermal comfort and savings. Thanks to the implementation of the activities planned in the project, its participants will acquire extensive knowledge on the topics of the presented modules, have the opportunity to work in international teams and improve their language skills.

 

The project is implemented as part of the SPINAKER program – Intensive International Education Programs – 2024 recruitment. The programme is financed from the European Fund for Social Development 2021-2027 (FERS) and is implemented as part of the NAWA project entitled “Support for the creation and implementation of international education programs”, project number FERS.01.05-IP.08-0436/23.
