INNOVATIONS AND SCIENCE

Education

The efficiency and the high-quality professional standard of these implemented innovations is possible thanks to the cooperation of the engineering and technical staff of the Foundry, with scientists working for leading scientific  research and development centers. These include the faculties, departments, research facilities and laboratories of the AGH University of Science and Technology, the Silesian University of Technology, the Foundry Research Institute in Cracow, the Warsaw University of Technology, the Rzeszów University of Technology, the Częstochowa University of Technology, and the Institute for Sustainable Technologies in Radom. An important role has been played by institutions coordinating the development of these innovations, including the National Center for Research and Development, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, and the Staropolska Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
