A discussion on the development of underwater technology in Poland, with a particular focus on the 50-year history of the Department of Underwater Technology at the Polish Naval Academy.
On 29 November 1976, an experimental underwater engineering research team was established at what was then the Polish Naval College. Its first head was Commander Medard Przylipiak. The team continues its work to this day.
The discussion will be based on a book documenting the Department's history, prepared to mark its 50th anniversary.
The book's authors, Karina Kowalska and Łukasz Jaczun, together with Stanisław Skrzyński, who headed the Department for many years, will discuss the people, research, technological developments, achievements and challenges of the past five decades.
The panel will be moderated by Adam Olejnik, who also served as Head of the Department for many years.
