Description:

Instytut Podstawowych Problemów Techniki Polskiej Akademii Nauk (IPPT PAN) is the largest institute in the Department IV of Technical Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

IPPT PAN is located in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, in its own modern building housing well-equipped laboratories. The Institute is situated in one of scientific campuses where over 20 research institutes, university faculties and innovation companies have been active.

IPPT PAN, established in January 1953, has been taking advantage of and building its presence and future on two complementary pillars: the richness of its history and tradition and its openness and curiosity-driven forward-looking approach to responding to the world's science and technology challenges.

IPPT PAN has very active scientific collaboration with partners from over 40 countries (both EU and outside EU), resulting in significant research results and joint publications, many of them published in leading international journals.

Since 1968 IPPT PAN has been educating PhD students in its PhD schools, conferring since then PhD degrees to close to 800 successful students coming from Poland and abroad.

The Institute creates favourable, inspiring conditions for scientific work, attracting young and experienced researchers from Poland and abroad. Its achievements, openness and science-oriented environment have been recognised with many awards, including an outstanding scientific category A+ in Poland, conferred by the Polish Minister of Science and Higher Education in regularly organised national competitive evaluation processes, the prize for the best PhD school, granted by the Polish PhD students’ community and the Human Resources Excellence in Research award, conferred by the European Commission.
