The Laboratory, founded in
1972, is an inter-university joint venture affiliated to the
Jagiellonian University. It is aimed at independent, cooperative
and contracted research. The Laboratory consists of 10 divisions. The
divisions are located at the Jagiellonian University (the Faculty
of Chemistry, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics), at the Academy
of Mining and Metallurgy (the Faculty of Materials Science and
Ceramics and the Faculty of Casting), and at the Institute of Metallurgy
and Materials Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Some
divisions are parts of larger research groups at the Jagiellonian
University or other scientific institutions. Conducting joint researches
the Laboratory develops and introduces modern instrumental techniques in
the academic community of the region. Thus the Laboratory is an
integrating factor for various scientific institutions in Kraków.
The
Laboratory has an Advisory Board consisting of 15 delegates from the
academic and scientific institutions of Kraków.
