Materials Research in Poland

摘要

Research in materials science in Poland is undertaken in a number of institutes and universities. All research institutions in Poland are evaluated every four years by the State Committee for Scientific Research, KBN, which is a major research funding agency in Poland. The recent evaluation exercise took place at the end of 2001. This exercise has been carried out separately by 13 sub-committees, each of them evaluating a specific field of science. The Materials Engineering and Technology sub-committee reviewed over 40 research organizations with the majority representing research institutes supervised by the Ministry of Economy. Of these, 7 were ranked into the highest category - three industrial research institutes, one institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences and three university departments.
