Wrocław BioTech Hub – integration of Wrocław’s scientific community

Seven Wrocław research centres, including our University represented by Rector prof. Robert Olkiewicz, signed an agreement to consolidate activities in order to jointly build strong research and development facilities and strengthen the city’s position as a significant scientific centre. This is the first step towards a Wrocław centre of excellence.

The Wrocław BioTech Hub is an initiative to integrate the scientific community, but it is also a step towards joint applied research projects, the creation of an interdisciplinary doctoral school, the establishment of consortia to compete in the Virtual Research Institute competition and the optimal use of research infrastructure.

The initiative, based on the ‘Teaming for Excellence’ project at Łukasiewicz – PORT, which has just been launched, is intended to prepare Wrocław to become part of a European Excellence Hub in the future, in which stakeholders will include scientific entities, entrepreneurs, start-ups, cities and citizens of the region.

Among other things, the project will work on implementing personalised medicine and early detection of cancer in Wrocław. That is why, symbolically, the agreement was signed on 4 February, which is International Cancer Day.

– This is an extremely important initiative not only for the scientific centres involved and for Wrocław itself, which, thanks to the consolidation of Wrocław institutions in the fields of medical sciences, science, life sciences and engineering, will strengthen its position as a specialist research and development centre. This is also an exceptionally important event in the scale and the whole country, which in the future has a chance to gain the Wrocław Centre of Excellence – wrote Minister Maria Mrówczyńska in a letter handed over to Wiesław Skwarka, Vice-President of the Łukasiewicz Research Network.

– I hope that this agreement in the field of biotechnology will integrate Wrocław’s environment; we are counting on joint interdisciplinary training for doctoral students, the creation of new research teams and joint seminars – says prof. Dorota Nowak, the Rector’s representative for the national academic biotechnology network and Dean of the Faculty of Biotechnology at the University of Wrocław.

The Faculty of Biotechnology of the University of Wrocław was represented at the ceremony by Vice-Dean dr hab. Daniel Krowarsch.
