Grant Footbridge The idea of a shell composite GFRP footbridge manufactured with use of infusion technology was developed in 2008 and reported in a form of research project submitted to Polish National Science and Development Agency in 2009. The project received financing in 2012 and is conducted under the acronym FOBRIDGE (PBS 1/B 2/6/2013, NCBi. R). COMPOSITE FOOTBRIDGE - SYNERGY EFFECT IN COOPERATION BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES AND INDUSTRY

Consortium The project is conducted by: • Gdańsk University of Technology (leader), • Military University of Technology • ROMA Co ltd. COMPOSITE FOOTBRIDGE - SYNERGY EFFECT IN COOPERATION BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES AND INDUSTRY
