WCE: Wroclaw Centre of Excellence, Teaming of Excellence, HORIZON 2020, no. 664508, 2015-2016

This project is a response to the demands of Europe to remove, or at least minimize, existing disparities in terms of research and innovation performance between its member states. It is proposed to create the Wroclaw Centre of Excellence (WCE) in Lower Silesia, in Poland, currently belonging to the low performing countries. WCE is going to significantly improve the level of research in Poland and make it innovative and competitive in the world-wide scale. It will boost up the cooperation between scientific institutions and the industry, which in turn will allow for efficient exploitation of research results, commercialization of which will directly affect the economy on the regional as well as the national levels. Moreover, research conducted in WCE will have positive influence on the society, promoting solutions related to environmental protection, safety, security and health protection.
