A UNIVERSITY WITH POTENTIALA UNIVERSITY WITH POTENTIALExcellent scientific staff, modern laboratories, state-of-the-art teaching aids and the highest teaching standards.

THE SCIENTIFIC POTENTIAL

DIVERSE AND MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE

of our University is connected with our staff of over 850 academic teachers, including 151 employees with the scientific title of professors. All our Faculties are entitled to confer doctoral degrees, and seven of them may confer post-doctoral degrees, while the Faculty of Agronomy and Bioengineering has both these authorities in two disciplines.

in the form of lecture halls, laboratories and workrooms is used for teaching as well as scientific and research purposes. Our University has rich library collections, available on-line. Our University may boast of numerous scientific publications, which have gained recognition among experts.

THE EXPERIMENTAL AND RESEARCH BASE in the form of 12 experimental farms and stations, including 8 agricultural, 1 with the agricultural and pomological in profile and 3 forestry stations. These facilities offer a platform for research, teaching and practice to meet and cooperate.

Selected achievements:

- pioneering studies on DNA for diagnostic purposes conducted by Prof. R. S³omski, who was the first in Poland to study DNA using DNA amplification by PCR and by genetic fingerprinting

- studies in biotechnologies, which have resulted in nine patent applications in Poland and two such applications in the USA

- pioneering studies on diagnostic methods concerning nutrition and watering requirements of trees conducted by Prof. E. Pacholak

- unique studies by Prof. W. Grajek on bioactive food, having probiotic properties.

OUR SCIENTIFIC, RESEARCH AND TEACHING COOPERATION

RESEARCH CONDUCTED

is enhanced by the high level of conducted research and our cooperation with approx. 100 university centres and institutions worldwide.

every year over 440 workers and students of our University are offered scientific stays in approx. 40 countries worldwide, not only in Europe, but also the USA, Japan, China, Russia or India. Our University participates in international programmes, i.e. LLP Erasmus, Eureka, COST, INCO, EUROFOREST and the Framework Programmes of the European Union.

at the 8 Faculties of the Poznañ University of Life Sciences focuses mainly on solving current problems of the national economy. It includes e.g.:

Thanks to

- studies on the reconstruction of the forest ecosystem - improvement of methods and technologies of plant and animal production in terms of food safety

- studies on metabolic activity of plants- studies on the development of molecular plant breeding - innovative studies concerning nutrigenomics of farm animals, i.e. controlling the functions of the organism through components of the diet

- studies on bioactive - probiotic food - technologies facilitating transformations of certain plant components into raw materials for chemistry

- chemical and physiochemical processing of wood and other lignocellulose materials

- technological and ecological aspects of use and management of wood wastes

- management in agribusiness - efficient utilisation of structural funds and resources of the 2nd Pillar of CAP.

Organisations with which we cooperate include

e.g.:

- CORNELL UNIVERSITY, ITHACA, USA- HUMBOLDT UNIWERSITAT, GERMANY - EIDGENOSSISCHE TECHNISCHE

HOCHSCHULE, SWITZERLAND - UNIVERSITY IN HAMBURG, GERMANY- HIROSHIMA UNIVERSITY, JAPAN - TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, USA- UNIVERSITY OF TAMPERE, FINLAND - CHINA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY,

The Poznañ University of Life Sciences supports new initiatives, including also the creation of the Wielkopolska Regional Innovation Platform, being a project thanks to which our University may present its latest scientific achievements and initiate contacts with enterprises and companies operating in the Wielkopolska region ( www.wpi.poznan.pl).

WE OFFER UNIQUE AND MODERN SOLUTIONS for the economy in terms of e.g.: - biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology- soil cultivation and plant growing, seed production of agricultural plants- DNA sequencing, identification of genetic markers in plants, animals and humans- agricultural engineering, genomics, physiology and histology of animals- use and processing of wood, improvement of production methods- obtaining unique nutritive products- implementation of innovative design and building construction solutions as well as water and sewage

installations- efficient management.

WE HAVE GAINED EXPERIENCE IN OUR WORK WITH THE PRIVATE BUSINESS SECTOR thanks to our long-term cooperation with such companies as e.g.: Agro Sciences Polska; „Fawor” Spó³dzielnia Piekarsko-Ciastkarska; Arysta Life Science Polska; Bayer; SUMI AGRO Poland; Fregata S.A.; Syngenta Crop Protection; BASF Polska; SN Biotach Technologies; Hochland Polska sp. z o.o.; PPH Exima “Agriculture 2000”; Aveve Biochem Belgia; Solaris Bus & Coach S.A.

THE ATMOSPHERE OF APPRECIATION FOR THE ROLE OF SCIENCE in the development of our city and region, and economy based on knowledge and innovations is promoted by the Poznan University of Life Sciences by its participation in the Operating Programme “Innovative economy”, the transfer of knowledge and thanks to the realisation of the University strategy for the years 2009- 2015.
