As part of co-financing by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the Regional Operational Program of the Śląskie Voivodeship, in 2012, the project “Modernization and equipping of laboratories for testing and formating engineering materials of the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice” was implemented. The main objective of the Project was to modernize the research and educating infrastructure and to equip the Laboratory with modern research equipment, thus strengthening the role of the Silesian University of Technology in active participation in creating a competitive economy and improving the quality and conditions of educating its graduates for better adaptation to the needs of the labor market and the competitive and competitive innovative enterprises.
