PROJECT COORDINATOR
|
The Silesian University of Technology (SUT) is the oldest technical university in the region and one of the most prestigious in Poland. It was established in 1945 as a scientific and educational facility for Upper Silesia, the most industrialized area in Poland, and one of the most industrialized in Europe. For over 70 years of its history, it has always been a public institution, playing a cultural and opinion forming role in the region. 15 educational units of the University – 13 faculties, Institute of Education and Communication Research and Institute of Physics – currently offer almost 60 study programmes and about 200 specializations, including the whole spectrum of engineering studies. Aside from technical programmes, candidates may also study administration, business analytics, mathematics, sociology and management – including project management – as well as foreign languages and pedagogy. The Silesian University of Technology occupy leading positions in both national and international rankings. It ranked 5th among technical universities and 13th among all universities in Poland in the “Perspektywy” Educational Foundation Ranking. Two study programmes: environmental engineering and logistics were considered the best in Poland, which allowed SUT to rank 4th in the whole country in terms of engineering study programmes. In the SCImago Institutions Ranking (SIR), an international classification of higher education institutions, Silesian University of Technology was awarded the 4th place in Poland and 17th in Eastern Europe. According to the report made by Sedlak & Sedlak company, 1 in 12 chairmen in Poland graduated from SUT. Meanwhile, the “Rzeczpospolita” journal states, that our university is second nationwide, when it comes to successful people. Finally, the “Wprost” magazine, graduates from SUT are 4th in Poland in terms of most wanted by the employers. Moreover, the institution was recently honoured with an “HR Excellence in Research” Logo, which confirms that the university operates in accordance with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. SUT was also awarded an ELSEVIER Research Impact Leaders 2016 award in the Engineering and Technology category, focusing on the impact of the university on the visibility of Polish science worldwide.

For a wide and successful cooperation with outside entities, the University has appointed a few specialized units, such as: Innovation and Technology Transfer Centre, Student Career Centre, Academic Entrepreneurial Incubator, as well as Project Management Centre. SUT as the only university in Silesia region has found itself in a prestigious group of top 10 Polish universities, winners of the „Initiative of Excellence – Research University” competition of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. SUT has interdisciplinary and long experience in the subject matter of SMARTherapy+. There are:

Additionally SUT has a very rich experience in the area of biomedical engineering where supporting of treatment and rehabilitation is one of the main branch of the research. In this field of activity many project have been realized in cooperation with hospitals and rehabilitation centers. One of the main scope of them was to elaborate and implement ways of use of new technologies enabling objective diagnosis of musculoskeletal system and assessment of rehabilitation progress. On the basis of these experiences a new direction of research has been developing for the use of Virtual Reality Technologies in rehabilitation. |
