GUT has signed new cooperation agreements under the international InSecTT project. Thanks to the agreements with the Port of Gdańsk and Lech Wałęsa Airport, both partners will implement original technologies of GUT scientists, including innovative Internet of Things systems, supported by artificial intelligence algorithms. The cooperation will improve safety, reduce costs and support the efficiency of operations of both ports.  

The InSecTT* project (Intelligent Secure Trustable Things), whose total value is approximately EUR 44 million, is an international research initiative based on the Horizon2020 program. It consists of the most important companies and scientific institutions from all over Europe that develop secure IoT systems (the so-called Internet of Things), supported by solutions in the field of artificial intelligence.
