Due to support of Norway grants (with contribution of 85% of project budget) and Polish government (with contribution of 15% of project budget) we were able to combine efforts of four talented groups of consortium members.
CONSORTIUM MEMBERS
SUT
Established in 1945, with the core staff the, established in 1844, Lviv University of Technology. Campuses in Gliwice, Katowice,and Zabrze. Currently SUT is within the top ten universities in Poland (out of over 400 institutions of higher education), the winners of the Excellence Initiative-Research University competition organized by the Ministry of Science and Education. Research and teaching cover all engineering disciplines, mathematics, management, pedagogy, and other subjects. Courses are taught at the Bachelor, Master, and Ph.D. levels. The enrolment is 19 thousand. SUT employs over 3 thousand individuals. The total number of promoted engineers reaches 200 thousand. One in twelve chairmen in Poland graduated from SUT. Two SUT faculties, out of 15 are involved in the project: Energy and Environmental Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. Web page www.polsl.pl/en/
