Network of Centres of Excellence BioMedTech Silesia
The purpose of the network is to carry out joint research projects in the field of biotechnology and biomedical sciences, to conduct teaching activities as well as activities in the field of nanotechnology transfer, especially with regard to technologies applied in medicine.
The Center belongs to category A of scientific facilities in Poland. It was established on January 1, 2007 as a result of a merger of the Center of Polymer Chemistry of PAN in Zabrze and the Institute of Carbochemistry of PAN in Gliwice – two centers of the Polish Academy of Sciences which, for many years, had been conducting systematic work on the production and properties of macromolecular polymer and carbon materials.
