On June 5, 2019, we had the pleasure of telling students of the Gdańsk University of Technology about the activities planned in the LIFENaturaSlowinskaPL project. During the lectures, for the first and second degree students of the Environmental Engineering field of study, we focused mainly on how the broadly understood hydrotechnical activities can contribute to nature conservation.

It was undoubtedly an interesting experience, because usually we need to summarize such a wide scope within 5 to 10 minutes. This time it turned out that even 90 minutes is not enough to exhaust the topic, especially when there is interest in the room and questions arise.

Due to the growing interest in the use of engineering for the benefit of the natural environment and nature protection, it is already worthwhile at the stage of study to bring in what actions are already being undertaken in Poland and in the world. Therefore, we hope that we will come back again to the Gdańsk University of Technology, perhaps not only to talk about plans, but also about the fact that individual actions have been implemented and have had an effect.
