The University of Silesia in Katowice has been nominated in the Silesian Innovator 2020 competition in the following category: ‘Research and development sector institution’. This year, representatives of our University have submitted the following two inventions developed at the Faculty of Science and Technology:
- device for selective collection and storage of gaseous phase;
- improved swimming fins;
The competition jury has nominated 20 R&D sector companies and institutions in which technological audit will be conducted, with participation of experts in a particular field. In the opinion of the organisers, the applications were varied in terms of scale and utility, with a surprising use of materials and diverse subjects.
The initiative has been organised by the Upper Silesian Agency for Entrepreneurship and Development already for the twelfth time, as part of the ‘Enterprise Europe Network’ project. The goal of the competition is to communicate science and promote own activity of entities from the Silesian Voivodeship. Detailed information is available at: www.innowatorslaska.pl.
