A new Crisis Management Laboratory has been launched at our Faculty as part of the activities of the Department of Safety Engineering. This modern teaching and research space is equipped with the JAŚMIN system – one of the most advanced solutions in Poland supporting crisis‑response operations. The system is used daily by institutions such as the Territorial Defence Forces and the State Fire Service.
In the latest episode of the Silesian University of Technology podcast “Let’s Talk About Science!”, Dr Maja Taraszkiewicz‑Łyda – the person responsible for creating this innovative facility – discusses the laboratory’s capabilities and purpose.
The conversation highlights the goals and functions of the new laboratory. Dr Taraszkiewicz‑Łyda explains how the JAŚMIN system supports data analysis, coordination of activities, and decision‑making processes during crisis situations. She also emphasizes the importance of working with realistic scenarios, which help students develop competencies essential for future roles in safety‑related services.
The episode also covers:
-
the laboratory’s role in educating future safety specialists,
-
opportunities for conducting research on technologies supporting crisis management,
-
potential cooperation with emergency services and local authorities,
-
practical applications of the JAŚMIN system in operational activities.
The discussion underscores the innovative nature of the laboratory and its importance for the development of teaching and research in the field of safety and crisis management.
