Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals

Łukasiewicz is the network of 22 research institutes in 12 Polish cities

Our work as the part of the scientific community is to promote and support the development of Polish companies. Our goal is to connect business with science to jointly develop breakthrough technologies.

We work in four Research Groups corresponding to our research priorities: Healthy Living, Smart and Clean Mobility, Green and Low-emission Economy, and Digital Transformation.

The main objective of our Center for Foresight and Internationalisation is to build the winning consortia of international research projects e.g. funded under Horizon Europe Programme.

We are active members of such important organizations as EARTO and the EIT community (EIT Climate-KIC, EIT Raw Materials, EIT Health, EIT Manufacturing, EIT Urban Mobility).

• 7000 employees

• 440 laboratories

• 3700 elements of research equipment

• more than 1000 business partners

During the four years since the Łukasiewicz was established (2019), we have carried out an effective institutional reform supported by the European Commission. Today, we provide professional and effective support for business implemented through the Lukasiewicz's Challenges system.

The main goal of Łukasiewicz's Challenges is to provide the entrepreneur with the tailor-made solution within 15 days.

So far almost 1,000 companies have presented our scientists with more than 2,000 challenges. Nearly 25% of them decided to implement an R&D project with Lukasiewicz.
