We offer exciting doctoral programs in:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Materials Engineering
- Computer Science and Telecommunications
- Biomedical Engineering
Our research responds to modern challenges in science in a wide spectrum of areas from nanotechnologies, nanomechanics, artificial intelligence, biomaterials, shape-memory materials, electromechanical coupling, diagnostics and control of mechatronic systems, to digital twins, and many others.
Why us?
Having many years of experience in research, the IPPT PAN has gained international recognition, in keeping with the Institute’s position as one of the biggest technical science institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences. We have offered doctoral studies since 1968, and, as a valued European technical institute, we conduct interdisciplinary research at the highest standards.
ADVANTAGES
Highly qualified staff and top standards
The Institute was founded by outstanding professors who would certainly recommend our current researchers who keep courses up-to-date at the highest international level. We are proud to bring on board experienced professors and talented new researchers, allowing you to benefit from their expertise and development. Their awards, membership in prestigious academic organizations, and participation in leading international conferences add to their academic prestige.
International cooperation
Since more and more doctoral candidates from abroad are studying at the Institute, we constantly improve our offer to meet their needs. We promote global cooperation by establishing project partnerships with institutions across Asia, the Americas, and Europe. All our research teams can benefit from international exchange programs - IPPT PAN employees and doctoral candidates. Our doctoral candidates actively participate in prestigious scientific conferences and research initiatives, collaborating with leading scientists from around the globe. This results in multiple publications in prestigious science journals. Additionally, doctoral candidates at IPPT PAN are given various opportunities to participate in internships and training programs, significantly contributing to their work experience.
Modernity, innovation, prospects
Dozens of our unique, state-of-the-art research stations and rigorous quality control systems in our laboratories ensure the highest working standards. The exceptional quality of our research and the lavishly-equipped laboratories attract local and international companies. Every year, many of our technologies are patented. To fully harness our intellectual and technical potential and bring our latest developments to the market, we have established the Centre for Commercialization and Technology Development. The Center supports IPPT PAN Staff in implementation and commercialization activities by coordinating the entire process – from identifying promising technologies, connecting with potential business partners, to licensing successful solutions.
One of the key priorities of our doctoral studies are implementation doctorates. This type of doctorate is oriented toward applying advanced technical knowledge to industry challenges.
Optimum conditions for your academic and personal development
The institute offers interdisciplinary cooperation and unhindered networking with outstanding professors and representatives of the most experienced professionals from various fields of the industry. We also encourage our students to cooperate with young research teams and provide support in applying for additional funding and scholarships.
Contrary to standard universities, our doctoral programs are free from didactic work, which increases the time they can spend on researching and self-development.
The Institute takes great pride in its people. Thus, supporting their development is our key priority. Our doctoral candidates are offered individual consultations about their career paths and are presented with ways of developing them further at every stage of their study. They also gain access to post-doctoral positions both in Poland and internationally.
