Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza im. S. Staszica w Krakowie (AGH)The Stanislaw Staszic Academy of Mining and Metallurgy in Krakow is one of the best, most reputable and modern Polish universities, for years occupying leading positions in rankings of universities assessing the level of state technical universities. A modern scientific and didactic base with laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art apparatus, lively and constantly developed domestic and foreign cooperation with other universities, high qualifications of the staff, openness to the business community regardless of their size and scale of operation - all this makes AGH a leader in the field of modern technologies, ranking high internationally
Scientific research together with education are the basic tasks of the University. They determine the scientific level of the unit, the possibility of staff development, and are the basis for education at a high level corresponding to modern requirements. The Academy consists of 16 faculties and non-faculty units.
AGH cooperates with many institutions at home and abroad. We regard international cooperation as one of the most important elements of the educational and scientific development of the university and the maintenance and strengthening of its prestige in the international arena - every year we carry out about 200 research projects together with foreign partners. We also participate in many national and international scientific and technological consortia and platforms. We are interested in joint organizational initiatives such as research centers, technology development centers, interuniversity laboratories, and others.
The research activities of the AGH University of Science and Technology include eight thematic groups:
* New materials and technologies. * Information technologies * Environment and climate change * Energy and its resources * Mining * Electrical and mechanical engineering * Science and life sciences * Socio-economic sciences and humanities
The field of life science includes such research topics as:
Works in the field of materials technology as well as life science dominate the scientific activities of the faculties of Metals Engineering and Industrial Informatics (WIMiIP), Materials Engineering and Ceramics (WIMiC), Non-ferrous Metals (WMN) and Foundry (WO). Problems related to the manufacture, research or application of materials also appear in the offerings of many other AGH faculties: Physics and Applied Informatics (WFiIS), Mining and Geoengineering (WGiG), Electrical Engineering, Automation, Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering (WEAIiIB), Computer Science, Electronics and Telecommunications (WIEiT), Mechanical Engineering and Robotics (WIMiR), Drilling, Oil and Gas (WWNiG) and Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection (WGGiOŚ).
New prospects for materials research are emerging at AGH with the opening of the "Center for New Materials and Nanotechnology" and the "Center for Ceramics" in 2012.
