General conclusions
30
AGH-University of Science and Technology since
the moment of its establishment in 1919 follows
its mission not only as the major provider of
engineers and specialists to many sectors of
Polish industry and economy but also as the
research centre and culture creative institution.
31
Concentration of the most of the heavy industry
plants in southern Poland made the University
often the only (e.g. steel and aluminium, coal
and mineral mines ) plants but always important
partner and research centre and the research
base for industrial sector.
32
Multidisciplinary structure of AGH-UST made that
provided by the University service to the region
and society concerns full spectrum of activities
including research, technical and scientific
expertises, advisory service and post-diploma
education (LLL, Open University)
33
Among 205 works performed by AGH-UST research
teams for Malopolska Province (value of 9,8 mln
zl) in the four years period of time (2000-2004)
one can find many which are of particular
importance for the city its environments and the
region
34
Examples - monitoring and control of the city
traffic, - elaboration of methods of the city
noise reduction, - elaboration of numerical
forms of the plans of a state managements,
monitoring and control systems of water and
wastes managements in different Malopolska
sub-regions, development of new high technologies
for local industrial plants (cetramic and
metallic materials).
35
Examples (continuation) -monitoring and control
systems of water and wastes managements in
different Malopolska sub-regions,- development
of new high technologies for local industrial
plants (ceramic and metallic materials).
36
AGH-UST is deeply engaged in development of IT
technologies and building up information society
e.g via project Education which is part of the
Internet Portal Wrota Malopolski ((Maloposka
Gates).
37
The University is co-founder of the high-tech
park in Kraków (Centrum Zaawansowanych
Technologii) and co-partners in establishing of
academic centre for interdisciplinary research
(AKCENT).
38
Both enterprises are oriented toward the most
efficient use of the intellectual and
experimental potential of the Krakóws
universities and research institutions in the
work for the region and its society.
