The sci­en­tif­ic and research activ­i­ty of the Insti­tute is based on three Cen­ters: Mate­ri­als Sci­ence & Engi­neer­ing, Life Sci­ences & Biotech­nol­o­gy , and Pop­u­la­tion Diag­nos­tics. Research Groups as well as spe­cial­ized and mea­sure­ment lab­o­ra­to­ries oper­ate with­in these units.

The city of a hun­dred bridges

Łukasiewicz – PORT is locat­ed in the his­toric Pracze Cam­pus. It con­sists of build­ings erect­ed at the turn of the 19th and 20th cen­turies, sur­round­ed by green­ery. Brick walls house mod­ern lab­o­ra­to­ries with world-class equip­ment that enables the imple­men­ta­tion of both appli­ca­tion research projects and basic research.

Since 2019, our Insti­tute is part of the Łukasiewicz Research Net­work, the third-largest research net­work in Europe. It con­nects over 30 insti­tutes from all over Poland, and its goal is to build a bridge between sci­ence and business.

  • By tramway and bus: You can also reach us from the city cen­ter by a com­bi­na­tion of a tramway and a bus.

When you pass the rail­way tracks, our cam­pus and main build­ing (sym­po­sium venue) will be on you right. Enter the gate and find a park­ing place.
  • Dri­ving from the city cen­ter: Dri­ve the Leg­nic­ka str. west­wards, con­tin­ue straight ahead tak­ing route 94 (Lot­nicza str. and Kos­mo­nau­tow str.) and then fol­low the above instruc­tions (turn­ing right into streets: Staro­ga­jowa and then Stablowicka).
  • From the air­port: The only way to direct­ly reach the Sym­po­sium Venue from the air­port is by taxi. In many taxi com­pa­nies you can pay by card – those cabs are marked with cred­it card com­pa­nies logos.
