Between 2004 and 2015, more than 115 international projects financed mainly within the FP5, FP6, FP7 and H2020 were implemented at the Institute. IPPT PAN is a Member of all Polish Technology Platforms (PTP) and co-founder of the Polish Institute of Technology. The Institute became the principal founder of the European Virtual Institute on Knowledge-based Multifunctional Materials AISBL (KMM-VIN). Wide experience in international cooperation has resulted in establishing at IPPT PAN the Polish National Contact Point for Research Programmes of the EU (NCP-PL).
NCP-PL was appointed in 1999 by the Ministry responsible for scientific research to support Poland's participation in FP5. Since then, its main goal is to promote the EU R&I programmes (currently H2020, COSME and structural programmes). It is being achieved through info-days, conferences, trainings, consultancy, facilitating partner search and promoting S&T international co-operation. NCP-PL operates as an umbrella for the entire H2020 through a country-wide network with headquarters in Warsaw (11 Regional Consortia of Contact Points, cooperating with Thematic Contact Points at Polish Technology platforms PTPs). NCP-PL is the national coordinator of the Polish EURAXESS network. The national NCP staff comprises about 50 highly qualified experts (incl. members of H2020 Programme Committees) with scientific background and deep knowledge of EU Programmes.
