Building a bridge between the economy and science conducted at the Institute is a key priority for IPPT PAN. Close cooperation with representatives of various branches of the economy increases the quality of obtained results and allows for the rationalization and high efficiency of using public funds allotted to science. Therefore, the Institute focuses its efforts on creating national and international science-industry consortia. We address the offer to all institutions providing services of every kind, be it from the public or private sector, big corporations or smaller entrepreneurs.

The aim of IPPT PAN consortia is to create, develop and implement new technologies and services. We actively participate in Polish programmes such as competitions of the Narodowe Centrum Badań i Rozwoju (National Centre for Research and Development) and the European Union programmes (Horizon), which helps us gain additional funding.

Currently, we focus research on: medicine, transport, electrical engineering, energy and construction. IPPT PAN also undertakes non-commercial, industrial research and development in the fields of: environment protection, health, safety etc.

Another important undertaking of the Institute is carrying out doctoral study in the form of the so-called doktoraty wdrożeniowe (implementation doctorates), which consist in the development of a particular technology made in cooperation with one chosen company/business.

Centre for Technology Commercialisation and Development at IPPT PAN

In order to make optimal use of the intellectual and technical potential of IPPT PAN and to facilitate the transfer of research outcomes to the economy, the Institute operates the Centre for Technology Commercialisation and Development. The Centre supports IPPT PAN researchers in their efforts to commercialise and implement research results in industry, and coordinates and integrates the entire technology development and commercialisation process—from regulating intellectual property rights to technologies developed at IPPT PAN, through matchmaking with business partners, to the final stage of technology transfer involving successful implementation in economic practice.

The main tasks of the Centre include:

• activities aimed at generating industry interest in research conducted at IPPT PAN that is of strategic relevance to the economy,
• cooperation with external entities in initiating and carrying out joint activities in the field of high technologies,
• cooperation with entrepreneurs in the commercialisation of research results produced at IPPT PAN, including participation in negotiations, preparation of agreements, and supervision of their execution,
• management of IPPT PAN intellectual property,
• coordination of the process of creating intellectual assets by IPPT PAN employees and PhD students and securing their protection in the form of industrial property rights,
• provision of advisory, informational, training, and promotional activities related to the protection of IPPT PAN intellectual property and the commercialisation of research results,
• development of entrepreneurial competencies among researchers and support for their entrepreneurial activities aimed at bringing IPPT PAN research results to market.

Recently, the commercialisation of research results developed at IPPT PAN has been successfully carried out, among others, in the following areas:

• smart technologies for aviation and space applications,
• advanced methods and systems for adaptive impact absorption and vibration damping,
• new cell lines derived from human Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),
• modern manufacturing technologies of producing new biomaterials and nanofibres for medical applications,
• advanced ultrasonographic methods and technologies for medical diagnostics,
• innovative materials, including modern composites, cement binders, concrete, etc.
