Education
We educate students in the field of designing building and engineering structures, mainly reinforced concrete structures, prestressed concrete structures and timber structures, of various functions, at all 3 levels of higher education (undergraduate, MSc and PhD). We conduct courses in Polish and English.
Research
We conduct scientific research in the following fields: basic research (concrete, masonry, timber, glass), applied research (reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, masonry joints, CFRP and SRP reinforced concrete, glass structures) and commercial (technical) services.
