Dr. Barbara Kozak has been employed in our Institute as a top-class expert within the framework of the REFRESH project.

The latest issue of British "International Innovation" (February 2012), one of the leading journals aimed at the scientific, technology and research communities, features an interview with Prof. Mariusz Piskuła, coordinator of the REFRESH project, and Dr. Tomasz Jeliński, its coauthor, titled “Refreshing research potential”.

The interview offers a first-hand insight into the implementation process of the REFRESH project- ranging from its aims and objectives; its role in unlocking potential of the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research; and the influence it exerts on the socioeconomic development of the region of Warmia and Mazury.  

Interview is accompanied by an article “Maintaining positive progress”, introducing the reader to  familiarize with the functioning of the Institute and the opportunities it gains thanks to realization of the REFRESH project.

Since January 2012 the Institute has launched the implementation of a new project titled: "Liaison Officer - a network of cooperation and information exchange between science and agri-food industry in the region of Warmia and Mazury".

The main objective of the project is to develop cooperation network between the Institute and companies of the Warmia and Mazury agri - food sector.

Within the framework of this project, fitting in new parametrization assumptions concerning Ministry of Science and Higher Education scientific institutions, Dr. Tomasz Dołgań has been recruited on the post of a manager for cooperation with industry.  His main responsibility will be to identify companies that have high development potential and are willing to cooperate with the industry, as well as to organize broker meetings between the scientific staff of our research unit and the representatives of companies showing interest in collaboration.
