Towards Innovative Packaging Materials and Bioeconomy Oriented Technologies “From Nano- to Macro- Scale”

Center of Bioimmobilisation and Innovative Packaging Materials CBIMO - towards innovative packaging materials and bioeconomy oriented technologies “from nano- to macro- scale”

Center of Bioimmobilisation and Innovative Packaging Materials Faculty of Food Sciences and Fisheries The West Pomeranian University of Technology officially was created on 1 January 2009. Bringing a new university into existence by joining two universities (Agricultural Academy in Szczecin and Szczecin University of Technology), besides enriching its teaching programme with new fields of study and specializations, creates a possibility of further, faster progress of new technologies in technical and natural sciences. The West Pomeranian University of Technology (WPUT) has a chance to make use of an effect of synergy which originated from joining two well-known universities. Around 13 000 full-time and extramural students study in numerous facilities under the tutelage of over 1 100 academic teachers (including almost 280 professors and assistant professors). There are ten faculties at WPUT specializing in 44 fields of study: Faculty of Biotechnology and Animal Husbandry Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture Faculty of Economics Faculty of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Agriculture Faculty of Food Sciences and Fisheries Faculty of Maritime Technology Faculty of Chemical Engineering New fields are constantly created as the answer to changing economic conditions and needs of the labour market.. The creation of the West Pomeranian University of Technology consolidated research teams dealing with: engineering, environmental protection, renewable energy, bio- and nanotechnologies, polymers, economics and industry and agriculture technologies. WPUT has powers to confer the PhD degree in 17 specializations and the degree of assistant professor in 9 fields. CBIMO&structure&and&interna1onal&collabora1on&
