IPPT PAN takes great pride in a long-standing cooperation with most of the European countries. Ever since the beginning of our existence, the Institute has committed itself to the cooperation of single and international European science and research centres. IPPT PAN organized and carried out dozens of international projects, conferences and scientific exchange. Moreover, IPPT PAN professors fulfilled duties resulting from various memberships of the most important European scientific societies and organizations. As a result, after 1999, our professors contributed to the creation of many centers of excellence, which greatly facilitated joint scientific activities in several laboratories around Europe. These centers of excellence included: LAPROMAT Centre of Excellence for Laser Processing and Material Advanced Testing; AMAS Center of Excellence or KMM-NoE Center of Excellence. The cooperation has been very fruitful and further resulted in the establishment of the European Virtual Institute on Knowledge-based Multifunctional Materials (KMM-VIN AISBL) based in Brussels.

Parallel to the above, IPPT PAN started the operation of the National Contact Point for Research Programmes of the EU (KPK). The KPK's establishment resulted from the fact that our scientists participated in the competition announced by the State Committee for Scientific Research for organizing information and training campaigns on the Polish accession to the 5^th EU Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (1999-2002). Further similar activities were assigned to KPK by the Minister of Science and Higher Education for consecutive framework programmes: 6PR (2002-2006) and 7PR (2007-2013). Currently, IPPT PAN scientists continue expert consulting in various European programmes, and since 2021, KPK operates under the National Centre for Research and Development.

High level of scientific research at IPPT PAN, leadership in numerous international science projects, lectures given for internationally recognized centers, and our extensive organizational experience have all contributed to the fact that IPPT PAN is now one of the most important partners in European science consortia.

Participation in European Union projects plays a huge part in IPPT PAN, as it supports and fosters tighter cooperation between research teams from various countries and across disciplines in Europe, which, in turn, plays a significant role in maintaining the highest quality of research and helping to achieve scientific breakthroughs. The cooperation also brings an additional advantage of giving IPPT PAN the possibility to disseminate information of the Institute’s achievements and innovations with market potential. The European programmes also help scientists find solutions to most urgent social problems such as climate change, eco-friendly transportation, renewable resources energy, or even solve issues related to fighting the pandemic.
