PATRAS

The President of the Republic of Poland has signed the nomination of Prof. Michał Choraś, awarding him the professor title in December. Congratulations!

The SWAROG project commenced, and the first partner meeting has been held in Bydgoszcz in December.

The Entropy Journal Special Issue "Advances in Computer Recognition, Image Processing and Communications, Selected Papers from CORES 2021 and IP&C 2021" is now closed. A sincere thank you for all the submissions. Link

The SWAROG project (Sysytem WykyrywaniA dezinfoRmacji metOdami sztucznej inteliGencji), in which the PATRAS team participates for PBŚ has won funding under INFOSTRATEG from NCBR with full score, placing no.1 in the results of the call.

In April 2021 The Mayor of the City of Bydgoszcz has awarded the members of the PATRAS team (dr hab. inż. Michał Choraś, dr hab. inż. Rafał Kozik and dr inż. Marek Pawlicki) the Mayor's Prize for their Scientific Accomplishements. link
